Is an import of Metal Slug (the original) for the PSx worth picking up from a pawn shop for $25?

How did a pawn shop figure out it might be worth $25?

Of course I'd play it. Why else would I buy it? I enjoy the series and was thinking of picking it up if its still there when i get mt next paycheck. But since I didn't actually buy it today I checked ebay when I got home to see what the going rate is but didn't see another import copy of the original. This just made me more curious. BTW, the pawn shop had a few import games which were all marked a little more then the regular US releases they had in stock. I guess he figured imports were worth more.

Well if you want to play it and you think it's worth $25, go for it :)

er, what else did he have, import-wise? if there's a harmful park or gunnm martian memory in there, :shock: GRAB THEM :shock: for yourself, and sell them if you don't like 'em- you'll make more than you paid. metal slug usually fetches a bit more than $25, so if you talk him down to $15, you're getting a bargain.
i got my princess crown (saturn import) for $5 at a flea market a few years ago; the guy had a bunch of japanese saturn games stuck in with some asian music cds, and sold me the 8 games there for $40! other stuff in the deal:
street fighter zero
willy wombat (sealed)
darius gaiden (sealed)
biohazard
gt24 (sealed)
shin-shinobiden
