    You're right. Ave's price estimate was accurate for the PSX copy of Aqua GT. The PAL DC version is worth a little (but not much) more if complete.

    If it's in collector condition (no cracked case, mint disc and manual) expect around 20-25 Euro.
    Average condition, 10-15 Euro.
    Disc only, 5 Euro.

    It's a fairly common game in PAL land, so it's not exceptionally costly.

    25 Euro for a mint copy, really? I bought and sold it 2 times for less than 5 Euros each in around 2008.

    Blame American collectors. There's been a recent uptick in PAL exclusive DC games over the past half-year or so in the US. Part of it is the fact that DC collecting is still relatively cheap in the US and consoles are readily available. PAL DC cases are stupid fragile, which doesn't help things. A year ago I would have agreed with you Ave (and to be honest, if you're talking exclusively about the EU, then your price is probably closer to the mark), but when dealing with international sales, 25 Euros shipped for a mint copy is about right because you can probably find a US collector willing to pay that much. If it's not mint, then price drops quickly as the game isn't that impressive in and of itself. Its main draw is that it was EU only.

    Honestly, if you're an EU based seller and have easy access to a used games shop, you can probably make a little cash flipping the common, PAL only DC games to NA buyers.

    From what I understand this is currently one of the top 5 rare PAL Dreamcast games but as we all know being rare doesn't always mean its desirable. I checked ebay yesterday and now there's a few for sale in Germany & Italy with "buy it now" prices between £17-25. Its not a great game. I might just keep it and wait and see if its value increases.
