			About a year to a year-half ago, a company called Maximum Charisma Studios (MCS) was due to release a game called Fighting Ledgends. The company lacked 'REAL' leadership and went under shortly after the 3rd stage of the Beta testing......(on a side note i still stay in touch with Dale Lullo (at the time, Director of Business Development for MCS)) ANYWAY....I did testing for stage 2 and 3 of the beta test.........and kept the CD's..... my question is.....IF sold on ebay/etc... (to a collector or other) how much would somthing like this sell for? also i found an old link to an interview dale did right before the company went under!Dale's Interview... PLEASE NOTE: the MCS Zone site link is dead now, and so is Dales MCS email address! (not a problem 4 me tho..... I have her MSN one!)

			Why are you same damn excited? Well I dont really think anyone would be interested in paying for a beta and if so, not much. Maybe like a few bucks. What was it for?

		Gaz_2_k		May 30, 2003
			it was 4 the PC.....and who says i'm excited...........if the police said they i could raid all game stores in the city of london and they'd look the other way..........THEN i'd be excited, cupcake boy!

			are the games any good? I would think they'd be worth more if they were console games

there are probably enough collectors on ebay that you could probably get a decent chunk of change.

if it's not common and its something popular, you could be surprised how much you can get for junk on eBay

I had some old Teen People magazine a few years ago that the girl I worked with left with my stuff.

It had the Backstreet Boys on the cover. I sold it for like $20!

hahaha

start it at least under $10

the lower the start, the more bids you'll get -- getting more people attached to it.

plus after $10 the fees start going up

			fees? sorry never sold on EBay before...

listing fees

then you have closing fees

check out the "fee schedule" it breaks it down for you

worst case scenario -- you don't sell it for $10 -- you lose about $.20

			Hmmm....how they gunna get it out of me if I don't sell it?

I don't think there is an age limit

			Maybe if it was the EQ beta and if it were 10 years from now...but I kinda doubt any mmog betas will be worth much. I have the fighting legends beta also...I didn't like the game too much Beta's usually are worth something only when they are still in beta and it is a highly demanded game. Some people will really want to or need to play it asap and therefor pay a good amount for the beta. I've done it before

			Like Doom III
