Some serious crack pipe smoking here

[molnars]

I'm sure this E-Bay seller has been discussed here before but everytime I see one of his auctions I just cringe but this one takes the cake. And the thing is people are actually buying his games for this price.

Uhm....whats wrong with this?

Yeah a lot of his other auctions are over priced, but this one seems pretty accurate to me.

You don't think that price is a wee bit high for a dirt common game sealed??? :hmm: Think about it...if it's a greatest hits, it sold boatloads of copies...

::In my brown robe:: Who is the more foolish.... the fool or the fool who buys from him? :D

The Greatest Hits version is dirt common sealed.

This isn't the Greatest Hits version.

I've seen sealed copies of the Non Greatest Hits version of FF7 pull over $200.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy the game, but thats just because I think the FF series is overrated :/

I've seen stranger things.

I think the buyer was thinking FFVII though.
This is the norm for FFVIII.

WOW, what a difference! One sealed FF8 went for $125 and the other for $25? WTF is with that?

I actually DID buy two copies of this game when it was brand new in 9/9/99 and I'm still holding on to it -- along with a FF9 and FF10. I'm hoping someday I can sell them for at least more then I paid for them. :P

[Slipdeath]

iif it had a greatest hits version that means the original must have sold a lot of copies

[sisko]

Well, FFTactics also has a greatest hits version. Have you seen any of those original, brand new, still sealed ones around lately?

I wouldn't be surprised if it passes the $100 mark.

A lot of his games are VERY VERY overpriced. Bust a move '99 for the playstation for $40 not sealed? Hell, I think I can get that game for $5 (I HAVE gotten that game for $5)

Final fantasy 7 has a cult following, and sealed originals go for a lot. Final Fantasy 8 does NOT have that strong of a following (I personally think it's one of the best, but not many people do) and should NOT be going for that much.

Final Fantasy 8, new from $14.00 and up. (Amazon also has FFX-2 available for $37 already, lol)

I think the whole buying sealed games is okay if you are going to play them, but just for keeping sealed thats a little crazy to me. FF7 does have something going for it. I jsut sold my copy of ff7 pc version for 35.00 and that was just cd's and folder the cd's cmae in , no box. I only paid 9.99 for it brand new:)

Can anone tell me though why suikoden 2 goes for so much how low of a print run does it have?

[jonjandran]

HE HE HE HE, Guess where my FFVII PC game is going today. :D

[Balloon Fight]

I would only pay a little more for new sealed games if it was for older systems. Such as NES, SMS, or perhaps SNES. Paying $130 for FF8 is insane!
