I have a sealed ESPgaluda and DDPDJ for ps2, I bought them a while back to collect, any idea what they are worth sealed?

I see them typically go for $50-55 used... can't imagine anyone would pay much more for a sealed one.

DDP DOJ

I would say they're probably worth up to 80$ each if you sell them offline.

As bucklemyshoe said, they're both still sold new for 50 Euros and that already defines their value.
Logically, sealed prices only tend to increase when the object ran out of print, like the fucked up Ibara port which went for just as fucked up 250$+ a couple of times in the past months.

Eight billion dumbass tokens. They're worth that.

Best to spend that hard-earned $$$ on a real Ibara PCB...then you wouldn't have a half-assed PS2 Ibara port but the opportunity to play the way it was originally was meant to be. Yep, some folks can get caught up in a bidding war and easily go overboard monetary-wise. ^_~

The thing about tokens is that they are worth whatever a single credit is worth. Plus they can't be exchanged for real currency once the monetary transaction is completed at the arcade token machine. Nowdays, some arcades use their own properity plastic debit card system where all the credits are subtracted from the remaining overall total loaded into it -- depends on how many credits are needed to play said game (like how it is at Gameworks and John's Incredible Pizza). For some modern day arcades, arcade tokens are considered a relic of the past...perfect momentos of a bygone era.^_~

Nah they're probably worth less unless there's a guarantee that they're fully convertible with regular coinage (and thus a form of coinage themselves); a billion tokens you paid $.25 for are worth less than a billion quarters.

This is also true of coinage and currency, of course, with the effect of inflation, but there by definition the face value of the money stays the same (just the real value has declined).

It's crazy how the less than stellar Cave ports published by Taito go for $150+ used on eBay, even the Taito's Best reprint of Mushi!

As great as the Arika ports are, I doubt they'll ever fetch the insane prices PS2 Ibara and Mushi seem to attract. Glad I picked them up on release...

Pretty sure these don't actually "go" on eBay, but rather "sit" there.

how about a mint donpachi for saturn?

DOJ and Galuda are still in print. Now, if you have Ibara, Mushi, or Triggerheart Exelica (DC version), those are each worth around $150.
