Cause it's rare, man.

Didn't you know? All SNES games are rare because they don't make them anymore.

That is crazy! I just got a complete package with booklet, tray, and box for around 18 shipped. True the box had a bit of water marks as did the booklet but it still is a great game and the condition of the box doens't effect that. Probably a bunch of No0bs bidding.

^love the Happy Tree Friends!

i don't know i checked other auction he has won. I've noticed that he pays more then most would for stuff... either he gets in bidding wars or some one likes shilling his auctions

[-hellvin-]

Have they been consistantly selling this high or is this just some weirdness on this particular auction? Cause if I can grab one of my yoshi's island box, throw in one of my extra manuals and spare a cardboard insert for 100$ I would love to do it ;D.

Ha, or you could just trade the spare box to me

People will pay a buttload for mint condition versions of certain games.

Yeah thats what I think is going on here as well. It's an in demand game, and its totally mint. That drives the price up.

please don't let stuff I don't have yet shoot up pricewise, crap too lates

[NintendoMan]

Yes, this is higher than it usually goes for, but it looks like it's in PERFECT PERFECT condition. So that's why.

Thats alittle high, but in 5 maybe 10 years thats the way it's gunna be.. i'm not sayin it will be $100 for Yoshis island all the time, but when collectors and the like get involved, things do get out of hand

Imagine what a mint/complete Chrono trigger, Secret of Mana, Metal Warriors or Megaman X3, will get in the coming years? Scary.. start buying now.... lol

Thats outrageous!!! Sha la la...whatever...lol.

[delafro]

Actually I'm not too surprised the game went for that much. The game is in absolute tip top condition and there are definitely people out there who are willing to pay to get that.

Crazy prices...! well look at this Mario RPG on ebay.co.uk @ link @

It's not sealed, but the box still has the shrink wrap, i guess that passes for sealed, to both buyers and sellers
