What it's worth right now

Based on recent sales data, the used market value for Shining Force II has seen a steady trend month-over-month. The real sold-comp value for the used version is $160, while the new/sealed value sits at $692.32. It is worth noting that new/sealed trades currently trade at approximately 4.3x the used value.

Looking at current listings, the median asking price across 20 live listings is $99.99. Sample listings show a range, with some cartridge-only copies listed for $59.99 (Good condition) and others in Very Good condition reaching $244.99 when CIB (Complete in Box) [4].

What drives the price

As with most collectible games, the condition and completeness of Shining Force II significantly influence its price. Cartridge-only copies will naturally command less than those that are Complete in Box (CIB) [4]. Listings showing 'Good' condition for the cartridge alone are priced lower than those listed as 'Very Good' or those that include the original box and manual inserts [4]. The presence of the original packaging and manuals is a major driver for higher valuations in this category.

Buying and selling it

When looking at the market, the gap between the current median asking price and the established sold-comp value suggests that patience may be rewarded. If you are looking to buy, waiting for a listing that aligns closer to the sold median could be beneficial. For sellers, providing detailed information about the condition—such as whether it is cartridge only, or CIB with manual inserts—is crucial for attracting the right buyers and achieving the best price. Reviewing the full sold-comp history can give you a clearer picture of recent transactions: full sold-comp history.
