why are the panesians only R8'S?

[nintendo_man]

these are some of the hardest games to find i was wondering why they are only R8'S? imo they should be R9 or 10 since a loose only seems to be worth around $500 according to ebay.. anyway thanks for the help

R8 seems right to me. i haven't looked for these on ebay in a while, but i doubt that loose carts are going for $500 (if they are then i'll be very surprised). a complete bubble bath babes just went for $400 on another auction site this week. also, snes chrono trigger goes for more than fun n games, but that doesn't make chrono trigger harder to find.

thy are going for about $500 loose ->http://www.digitpress.com/forum/posting.php?mode=editpost&p=350352 and im the one that bought the $400 bbb earlier this week and i got vey lucky.. chrono trigger only goes for more than fun n games because chrono trigger is in high demand and not many people know a history behind fun n games or let alone want it..

Rarity does not necessarily reflect cost.

The difference between R8 and R9 to ME gets to how often do I see the game turn up in an auction or via a collector transaction either in person or online. R8's I expect to see at least once a year. R9's I do not. So far, that logic has held up pretty well with regards to the Panesians.

Why does everyone assume expensive = rare??? It's simple economics, demand + scarcity = price. The Panesians may be really expensive, but that's because so many people want them. 8-bit boobies, I've got to buy that!
