I've been hearing the same thing about Earthbound. Some rumors about too much music sampled from copyrighted songs makes for the game to not be released on Virtual Console.
And Chrono Trigger is just Chrono Trigger. They could probably re-release that game 1000 times and it'd STILL be worth a lot.
Chrono Trigger imo is second only to FFVII for beloved-RPG-fandomitis. The only difference is there are probably 2x the amount of copies of FFVII and it still is coveted beyond belief.
I dunnnnoooooo, what about Kingdom Hearts? Persona 2 is in the running too...the fan base more than makes up with their small size with sheer intensityOriginally Posted by portnoyd
If I had to do an estimate on that full collection, I'd say ~$400-450. I'm sure you could squeeze more out of it by selling on ebay and chasing every cent, but that's just blah.
btw, I sent you a pm about the games. I'm interested in some (or all if you cut me a deal on the lot).

Neither of those are even close. When KH or Persona get a US released DVD movie or 3 rereleases, then we can talk.
$450? Are you kidding? You're not, because:

I'll be the one guy in this thread that says DON'T DO IT! You'll regret it later. That's too beautiful of collection to let go.
lol its worth 450, pm sent, haha, Ya the lots worth way more than 450.
Autobots. Roll out.
Earthbound by itself is worth about $250+.
You're suppose to save joke post like that for April 1st
ALL HAIL THE 1 2 P
This is going to end badly. No matter what you need the money for, you're going to regret selling those games in the long run. I'm drooling at that lot. DROOLING..LIKE AN ANIMAL.
well whats an snes 2 then? I was thinking $20 on zelda, $50 on secret of mana, $65-75 (sounds high but for some reason I think he could if it's mint), $50 on mario rpg...You're suppose to save joke post like that for April 1st
oh, I guess I'm putting earthbound too low if you guys are sure about $250. I saw someone with one the other day that hadn't sold at like $200, so I had it at ~$150.
Even in a bundle that lot would sell for a minimum of $500 as long as he properly advertised it on sites such as this. You can see that he's already received quite a bit of interest in all of the key titles. Priced seperatly on ebay he could very easily reach four figures for that lot, though probably more than that. See my first post(the second post of this thread) for a more accurate estimate for what this bundle is really worth.
ALL HAIL THE 1 2 P
ah, I see. Where was I off is what I'm wondering...is an SNES 2 worth that much?
I dunno though, I still don't think $450 is way off unless I totally missed a game or something. In a bundle sold on DP, it would probably get what, 550-600 TOPS?
So don't laugh at me
Besides, I wasn't gonna buy his whole lot, I'm not that rich...I could just really use a Mario RPG copy soon.

Earthbound = $200~250
Chrono Trigger = $80~100
Super Mario RPG = $60~80
Secret of Mana = $30~40
Final Fantasy III = $30~60
Shadowrun = $30~40
Chrono Trigger Strat Guide = $30~40
Secret of Mana Strat Guide = $30~40
SNES 2 = $50~60
Everything else is around $20 apiece (a few maybe $30, but in a bundle I think $20 is fair).
Yeah, see, that's about what I ahd in mind mobius...I had mario rpg at $50 tops though, and earthbound at 175. I'm not thinking of top-end ebay prices, I'm thinking of legitimate DP forum prices.
You may be a little low on secret of mana, although I agree it's fallen dramatically.
I guess I'm just confused. You guys laugh at my estimate, and then basically agree with my numbers?I didn't count those strategy guides as anything though, and $30 is a little high on a lot of those games. Mario Kart is $15, Mario All stars $20-25, and that's about all I can think of for the lesser titles. You guys might think earthbound is this huge game because of a few ebay sales, but I've seen copies sit around for a bit at ~200

Uh, no. mobiusclimber quoted $480 for six games, the system and the guides and that's on the low end of his estimates. That doesn't include the 10 other games in the lot. Even at $10 each for the others (reasonable, it's SNES after all), that's almost $600 on the lowest end of the chart. Your estimate was $450 for everything.I guess I'm just confused. You guys laugh at my estimate, and then basically agree with my numbers?
The point is you made a post saying 'Oh this isn't worth much' and then immediately after saying that said 'PM sent, I'm interested!'. You telegraphed poorly a move to try and keep evil_genius's expectations down. That's what we're laughing at. That, and your backpedaling.
there's no backpedaling here, I stand by my answer pretty much (maybe add $75-100, I didn't know the guides were worth anything), keep in mind I only put about $150 on earthbound. That may account for discrepencies. I don't see FFIII at $60, not feeling chrono at $100, and when I bought my CIB Zelda, it was $15, and I think that's still reasonable. I just needed a copy of mario rpg, so I pmed him. didn't I even say that he could get more than that? that was by no means an offer.
I'm not trying to get in on the cheap..it was pretty obvious he was going to wait for other opinions. Whatever, I'm not even going to try to explain anything, this is just stupid. I may not be here all the time, but I'm around enough to not pull a dick move like that, and you accusing me of it is frustrating.
OP, if you part if out, I'd buy mario rpg from you.

I stand by my estimates. I am a reseller, I know what this stuff's worth, I know what it sells for. OP doesn't even sound like he's going to be selling it on DP, so skinflint resellers like me who wouldn't give full value on this stuff are not even going to be a consideration, but even if we were the low end of my estimates would apply.
