The definitive list of most expensive DS games on eBay
|
DS

When Julie Andrews sang about her favourite things, it was clearly a simpler time. 'Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles' indeed.

Some 40 years on, she probably wouldn't know what we were on about if we opened up with a wobbly tune about eBay and DS games, although our falsetto would have her running for the door, no doubt.

But four months on since we last investigated the world of eBay DS game sales, there does appear to have been a change that could be described as akin to the rise of whiskers on kittens.

Yes, the increasing casualisation of DS games has had a massive effect when it comes to a breakdown of the most expensive titles currently selling on eBay.co.uk, with the only traditionally 'hardcore' game in the Top 10 being Capcom's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (average price £17.75).

The previous chart topper Freshly Picked Tingle Rosy Rupeeland has dropped to the number 19 position, as well as dropping £4.66 in value. Similarly, the once high-placed Mario Kart DS has dropped 11 places to number 14 and lost £2.55 in average price.

And you'll be amazed by which game is the most expensive…

The full top 100 is listed below, in descending price order, in the form of: game title, average sale price and number sold on eBay.co.uk during the past two weeks (the latter is provided to give some idea of a game's popularity and, in that sense, the longer term accuracy of the price).
