SNES Chrono Trigger, Sealed

**digitalpress** · 03-01-2008, 09:19 AM

Here we go again, this time it's my turn to test the market!

at the $9.99 offer (and the 150 'dollers' ...)

I think that you should accept the latter offer on the basis of an exchange rate of $10 to the 'doller'

This game in this kind of condition is EXTREMELY RARE

Despite the truth to that, that's totally the "Ebay game."

The two people trying to test to see if you're a sap.

**gepeto** · 03-01-2008, 11:01 AM

I was looking at your other games for sell and I saw the chipshot golf for intellivision. I don't think I ever heard of that one. That one seems at least to me to be indeed rare.

**PrototypeFC3S** · 03-01-2008, 12:01 PM

I wouldnt be suprised if it went past $15XX. It being sealed is a thing of beauty.

**TonyTheTiger** · 03-01-2008, 12:19 PM

One of two things could happen. The publicity of the last sealed CT could mean that people now accept $1200 as the average worth or people consider that an anomaly and would never think of going that high. The latter isn't unheard of on Ebay. Every now and then you see a used Panzer Dragoon Saga go for $250-$300. Sometimes a seller gets lucky and puts something up at just the right time when a number of people are looking for just that thing.

A sealed CT, though, is probably a different story as nobody in his right mind would bid on it with the intention of cracking open the plastic.

I can't believe some chic tried to get you to sell her this game for $9.99. Whatever version of crack they smoke/drink/sniff where she's from must be some really potent stuff

Anyway, good luck with your auction Joe. And who knows, you may beat the last high price of $1,200. Oh, I just remembered, it's not about the money

**gepeto** · 03-01-2008, 06:24 PM

On that chrono trigger one I would almost change the disclaimer to do to the rarity and the unability to reseal the game. This is an as is auction.

I know, right? In all probability it was a DP'er playing a joke or an African money scam.

Feel sorry for the guy who sold this gold brick to Joe instead on Ebay.

Hopefully, he won't come storming in

and start accusing Joe for cheating.

Well that would be weird since I specifically asked the guy to name his price since (at that time) I wasn't sure what the value of the item was. He got the exact dollar value he asked for.

Call me a "cheat" if you will, but I do have to pay for the lights and heat, etc. and I always do my best to please sellers, especially when they bring in quality items.

900 dollars with 7 days left this should be interesting.

shouldnt feel sorry for someone who has the same options as everyone else to sell thier stuff. Today everyone has access to the internet, take a day and do your research.

Everyone should cut out the middle man and then we can kill off any stores like the one DP operates.

**Press_Start** · 03-02-2008, 12:25 AM

Question is did he know he had the option? I know family who have the internet and haven't heard of Ebay. Let alone know that there's a market for classic games.

There are people that still think video games are kid's toys and don't value them as much as we do.

ya ya and people have sold million dollar paintings for a couple dollars at a yard sale.

like I said, anyone should know they have options. If you haven't heard of ebay I dont know what to say. But they knew enough to take the game to a retro game store instead of sell it on a yardsale or throw it out so they are aware it held some value.

anyways, dont want to get off topic. Good luck with the sale!

Yeah but there's usually a plateau with these things. You'll see it shoot up quickly but the higher it goes the fewer people you have bidding so it'll slow down. 1 day or 100 days, whoever put their proxy bid at $1200 or more is gonna win regardless if it goes up or not.

**Press_Start** · 03-02-2008, 01:42 AM

Like I said, I feel sorry for the guy. If more people weren't lazily hesitant in taking that extra step, they would have been better off in the long time.

Back on topic:

$935?!! Wow! With a week ago, this could possibly break the $1200 price left by the last one. Wishing you the best on this Joe!

This was a young adult who specifically cited eBay during our transaction. Why he didn't want to use eBay I'm not sure. Maybe he didn't have time, maybe he needed the money. Maybe he DIDN'T need the money. Regardless, I played fair by him.

Side note: I'm disappointed that there were no silly questions from eBay'ers on the auction when I got up to check this morning. I found those most entertaining.

Maybe he figured that the price he quoted you provided him enough of a profit over whatever he had paid, and would rather have a quick sale then drag it out to milk every last dime out of it. (I have been known to do this).
