    Default MJ's Moonwalker (Gen): Get rid of it now if you need $$$

    The price jump on ebay is insane. If you do a completed listings search, you will see it jumped from the $10-$30 range to the $150-$200 range after his death.

    Insane jump.

    Yeah, I bought a copy off of eBay for $33 CIB including shipping a few months ago. And I thought it was a tad pricey then. And that was a 12 bid war as well. I wonder if demand will ever go down...

    I sincerely hope that this isn't a trend that stays...I've been looking to pick up Moonwalker, but I guess I'll try to find it locally for now. I bet I'll see some serious price-gouging at the flea market.

    I'm at work, but what's the highest price that has been listed/sold for this since yesterday?

    I knew I should have bought one at 30 bucks but I didn't see the guy dying so soon. Shit.

    this at least makes a little sense, there probably aren't millions of copies of that game out there. think about this, right now copies of the thriller lp are selling for $50-$100. it's literally the most common record on the planet.

    Good luck with that...I predict that his games will actually drop in price if that's possible.

    Just bought one a few weeks ago. I consider myself lucky. It's an okay game.

    By the way, I think there are different versions of the Genesis game. the Angry Nintendo Nerd mentions it in one of his videos. Basically he says the music is different on some of the stages.

    why not just go for it? say it's rarer than the genesis version. odds are you'll get some decent cash.

    Yeah I saw that in his video too. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?

    Honestly, and this is just my opinion, I'm a collector of many games and even celebrity autographs, but I still find it distasteful to sell an autograph or in this case a video game of a celebrity.

    Whenever a celebrity dies, demand goes up and so do prices, in this case a great deal amount. I will keep my complete copy and not sell it. I'm surprised eBay hasn't enacted something where if a celebrity dies nothing can be sold of that person unless it's charity for a certain period of time. Again, ONLY OPINION.
    I am a collector of the classics (Atari, NES, SNES, Genesis, 3DO, Saturn, etc.)

    This kind of crap always happens. The prices will peak, level out, and slowly taper off over the next few months.
