Can Older Games Still in Packaging really be worth that much more?

[Soulpepper]

I came about this on Ebay and I was wondering, how much more do you think it can go?

I don't know too much about canadian releases but it looks like a crappy home shrink rewrap job.

I know some games come in heatwrap (rallisport challenge 2 US comes to mind on launch) but that looks terrible.

He didn't say where it was factory sealed. Maybe he took it to the factory where he works to cover it in plastic wrap.

Actually, for those of you whom are uneducated about import games, I'll shed some light on why you think that looks like a "home re-wrap" even though it is in fact factory sealed.......

CANADA, which is where this listing is from, is a bilingual country (meaning it has 2 recognized launguages). This means that for the Canadian releases of games, there has to be a second manual printed in French included. For PSone titles, there was never enough room in the jewel cases for the extra booklet, so when they factory seal the games for Canadian release, it appears double shrink-wrapped because they often just take an already shrink-wrapped American copy, place the French manual on top, and then shrinkwarp over both.
