Found a copy for $19, includes the box, cart, and manual. I think there was a map or poster included originally, so is this price decent?
Thanks and lmk!

They have them (several copies) here at local game stores CIB for $20. I haven't looked inside for maps and whatnot, but yea $20 seems about on par right now.

Went to a CGX in the mall today and their copy was $39.99. That store amazes me with their pricing. I don't know who buys anything there - I sure don't! Some of the prices:
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Xbox) $89.99
marvel vs. capcom (DC) $49.99
IronMan X-O Manowar (Saturn) $39.99
shining in the Darkness (Saturn) $79.99
Their "collector" case is just overpriced "rare" items.

You can probably get the game cheaper if you look around. Not a bad price for a store tho.

Considering Shining in the Darkness was only released on the Genesis, that's gotta be an OMG RAREZ PROTOTYPE :) For $80, that's a steal! :D

Argh, you're right. They actually had Shining Wisdom and Shining the Holy Ark and I'm thinking it was StHA that was that much.

Uh, I wouldn't put a lot of faith on these prices. Pretty positive that site is run by some dude who owns a store in New Jersey. And I doubt he adjusts the prices on his site for every game on every platform based on current market value.

Are they over or under market value? Either way, they are available for those prices.

Yes, he's located in Englishtown, NJ and he actually has very fair prices.
I'd say $19 for a CIB PS3 is a good price. Not great, but you're not shorting yourself imo.

+1.
Not the best, but not an out-and-out ripoff like so many other places (and craigslist) would attempt.
