    Default Since when did Skull Monkeys (PSX) skyrocket in Price?

    My friend found a copy for me in a Gamestop dumpster and it had some initials in marker on it, I was looking around for a case and manual for it and noticed a copy on ebay, game and manual only for $41. I'm not really looking for a price on it so I don't want to list it in the roadshow but I was just wondering if there are any strange trends on it like FFVII or Silent Hill. Just seems bizarre.

    PS: If anyone has a manual or rear insert I will buy them.
    If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?

    Dude, it's a sequel to an incredible game. I've sold several game-only copies of The Neverhood for more than $50 each!

    I don't think it's ever skyrocketed in price. I think that's what the value has been for a while.

    I had no idea it was so expensive, I was just talking about this and the Neverhood a couple days ago with a buddy of mine. I have boombots, has this value gone up as well? I thought that was a pretty sweet fighting game, different than most things I have played. I miss those Neverhood games.

    I think now that the major stores stopped selling used psx games you are going to see alot of higher prices now that the games are becoming harder and harder to find.

    Finding complete psx games in good condition is rare the disc is either scratched/ rental / written with a broken case or missing manual. The next few years should be pretty interesting for the psx sellers and buyers as gamers try to relive the past and get that fix.

    Wow, didn't know one was going for that much. I just picked up a copy for about $3 on friday.

    Is the game any good?

    The first cutscene, the "beans" one, is worth owning and playing this game alone.

    The hell? I just picked this up at eb about a month ago because I saw the neverhood on the cover and got REALLY excited. It was only 5 bucks.

    Wow. This game was at a local GameStop for months and I kept thinking I would pick it up just because it looked weird, but never did for some reason. It was probably only $5 or so. I should check back sometime and see if it's still there.
