I put this auction up a few days ago, expecting it to reach the usual going price for a loose Zelda cart, which is around ~AU$30. As you can understand, I was more than pleasantly suprised when I saw it reach AU$76 + postage! I mean, I really appreciate doing business with this this buyer (payed instantly, great communication etc.) but seeing that at least 2 people were willing to pay AU$75 for a loose SNES Zelda cart (which pop up often on ebay) begs the question:

What is this world coming to?

I'm telling you, we'll reach a point where we'll be able to make a living by selling Mario\Duck Hunt carts on ebay... LOL

haha, nice...especially since he paid already.

I guess the saying that a game is worth what it is worth to you is proven.

"I guess the saying that a game is worth what it is worth to you is proven. "

That really is true in some places. What I may pay hundreds of dollars for, another collector wouldn't pay $10. It all depends on what the item is really worth to the buyer. Although I think the buyer could have got a loose LOZ:LTTP for alot cheaper somewhere else, but maybe he/she didn't want to wait.

Also, if gameplay means anything, than LTTP is worth thousands!
