    Three thoughts for this:
    1) Go ahead and put the SMS copy up for auction. I saw copies going for $40+ at least for SMS when I just perused eBay a little while ago, so it couldn't hurt if you're looking for a good return. Put a reserve on there if you're going to be cautious.

    2) The amount of 1-day auctions is ridiculous...these people KNOW they're getting away with highway robbery and people are perpetuating it. I'm going to ask my mother to send up my Michael Jackson cassettes and sell them on eBay with a 1-day auction. I bet I'll get $30+ for each tape when I originally paid $2 for all of them as a kid.

    3) I wonder how much this will skew vgpc's sales?

    you have to be a serious collector to pay ridiculous prices like that. you can always download the rom for emulators. plus who wants to support someone that touched little kids?

    well if u want to spend $100 plus on ebay for a game u can probably find in regular stores for less, then be my guest. But us normal people that wokrk hard for our money would rather spend that $100 on payin bills and providing for our familes. I bet most of u are those nerds that have no life who spend all day at Digital Press when they have NAVA

    The online prices for Moonwalker have always jumped around by leaps and bounds, but this is a little silly. I got my copy at a flea market a few years ago for $6.

    HELL YEAH. The only reason I leave my shed in the woods is to spend that 1 day at NAVA.

    Crazy!

    How much was it going for 1 month ago?

    Is it even a good game? I never heard about it before!

    $10-30 just a month ago. It's a decent game, nothing too special besides having Jackson's music.

    I've sold a loose copy for € 5,- some time ago.
    I do still have a spare copy for MJ's Moonwalker for SMS. With box.

    Like I said yesterday, the worst thing is that people are buying Moonwalker, and do not own a Genesis and never will. This is simply the same stupid rubes who do this every time a famous person dies.

    You do know it might be worse when Shatner dies right? The actual Trek fans will mourn and than everyone else will suddenly want to watch Star trek and buy the movies or series.

    Star Trek fans are not going to go berzerk, besides most of us have the stuff already. Is it Michael Jackson fans, or just stupid hoarders, rubes and speculators going crazy?

    Then again, when big sports heroes like Mantle and DiMaggio died, my father made a bunch of money selling pointless plaques. But we didn't rip people off, they were a few bucks.

    In the third stage (3-1 through 3-3), a bit of Thriller plays when Michael uses dance magic against the zombies. Later versions had the music replaced. I'd like to know why, and I know just who to ask...
