I just threw in those demos in my post because the OP started with one. That's why I wrote "rare" in quotes.

Woah, how do you get a demo disc for Resident Evil 1.5?

Those were available in Japan for a while, though I think it was just a demo video, not the actual game. Still, ridiculously rare. There may have been an actual demo build but that would have only been available to Capcom employees, making it even more rare. I do think they got rid of all demo builds at some point though.

That sounds awesome.
Are there any available anywhere? (Ebay, Amazon, etc)

If you ever manage to find one I can assure you it would cost you a ridiculous amount of money. Seriously, if it was a purchase that was as easily made as going to Amazon and buying one, I'd have ten. Like I said, they got rid of all demo builds, making that demo even more rare than the PC version of Survivor.

Alright, thanks for the info on it.

Quite a few. I collect video games and consoles so I've kept an eye for anything in particular that'll be worth something(and that I like). A lot have been put into storage so I can't take pics of everything but I'll take a few in a update of this post.

Sealed Zelda Wind Waker
Factory Sealed Zelda Gameboy Advance SP/Zelda DS Lite/Zelda 3DS

Nearly every Pokemon game boxed complete mint condition (both PAL and Japanese)
Various sealed Pokemon DS's

The odd Playstation/Xbox/Gamecube game that's sealed/limited in print.
Signed copies of games(One of my favourites being Street Fighter 4(For Street Fighter 4 on Xbox/3DS) by Yoshinori Ono.

Random signed posters/promotional crap.

I have a small cupboard in my desk which is where I store some of my rare stuff.

I've got these chess figure that were released in Europe only. The magazine went out of business before they released the full sets.

This Eggman plush and bank are pretty rare:

Not sure, but I think these are really hard to find now, especially sealed:

When I packed I found a VHS hype video for Banjo-Kazooie that's narrated by John Lovitz. Don't know if that's worth anything.

I have the one that came out for the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, which kinda counts game wise. Still, I which I knew where my Banjo-Kazooie/Donkey Kong 64 video and Pokemon Anime video went to.

I'd say it's rare since there were only 700 and it came out in 2010. I snagged an amazing Eddie Riggs statue on eBay.

Yup.

I own a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition for the GameCube which ranks at 87% on RarityGuide.com, meaning "Super Rare." I also have this limited edition Poké Ball 3DS cartridge case as a promotion for the release of Pokémon X & Y. I got it from a Nintendo employee when browsing around the console booths at GameStop one day, and now they retail for $30 - $50 on eBay. Who knew?

I'd be a little careful with that site. I looked up re chain of memories, and it said it was 80% rare and people are pawning it off on ebay for 3 bucks each.

Yeah indeed. Rarityguide gives you a rough idea but aren't what games are exactly worth.

RE: What's the most rarest video game related thing you've got? - Cheshireson - 05-11-2014

Ah, I see, thanks for letting me know. I figured it wouldn't have been exactly accurate, but it does give a fairly reasonable estimate in most cases.

RE: What's the most rarest video game related thing you've got? - Hexadecimal - 07-06-2014

I'm shaking so badly right now I can barely type. Without much opposition I managed to snag my grand supreme holy grail which I never ever though would happen.

Actually right around when my poor Scuzzy died was when one first went up for auction. I knew I was screwed because the seller was from Europe. Europe folk are huge fans of this franchise and go nuts over auctions that take place in their part of the world, so I never had a chance. Also didn't help that I was at work when the auction ended and the sniper program I tried using failed.

What really rubbed salt in the wound was when I found out a person from the internet I actually knew and hated won it. Not only that but the jerk ended up flipping the statue about a year later and made a massive profit on it.

I'm pretty mortified by how much I had to pay, but this is a once in a lifetime item that I only know of four people owning, including myself. It's such a mystery item I couldn't even find a manufacturer or edition size when I searched. I think I'd need to be fluent in Japanese and search that way to even uncover any facts about it.

So... Wait, what is it? The Eddie statue?
