Just got Earthbound on eBay due to curiosity (think I may have overpaid at $160 shipped). Is the game really that amazing or is it just a collector's item? Looking forward to getting to the SNES games I never got to play.

Way overrated. I simply cannot fathom how anyone could pay five times the amount of some of the best SNES RPGs like Final Fantasy IV/VI, Secret of Mana, Breath of Fire/Breath of Fire II. What you paid for that one mediocre game, you could have purchased these five top-notch games.
Well, at least I can resell it for a simlar price when finnished
And I thought $160 was nuts to pay for (I assume) a loose cart. Ebay surprises me yet again.
That it, I'm going to sell my copy and buy a CIB Ogre Battle 64 with plenty extra leftover for other goodies.
And this is why 600 plus RPGs later I still don't own a copy of Earthbound. I want it, but I'll find it for the right price eventually.
If you think you overpaid on your copy of the game for $160, than I have something to tell you. I once saw the cardboard piece that goes on the inside of the box alone on ebay for $112, buy it now. Dunno if it sold, however.
The price spike in the past few years will come down. Look at Final Fantasy VII now and then a couple years ago and then five years before that. If you wait awhile, affordable copies will be plentiful. I do wish I held onto a copy of it though as it's a fun game to play through. I used to sell loose copies for $30 - $50 when I would come across one and I think I sold my last complete copy for $200 to a member here.
That karma will come back around eventually.
I'm still holding out hope for some sort of official re-release in any form, if that ever happens.
