What the hell is UP with all of these games getting increasingly inflated prices? Earthbound is approaching $200 and Shantae's getting up there too.
I literally just closed my Ebay tab, where I was checking the value of MML2. What a coincidence!

I too have noticed how a lot of great games have suddenly started ramping up in price over the past 4 months or so. I have no idea what's going on, but I don't like it.
It's always tough to wait it out, although prices do fluctuate. I imagine some will fall.

Did this copy sell at $80? If not, then this isn't really news, people over-price games all the time.

Hell there are completed listings of copies selling for $90!?

Of course there are quite a few completed listings in the $60 range, but geez. If people are willing to buy it for crazy high amounts, it can only mean that sellers will just start pricing things higher.

Yep. Even if someone knows its worth $60, if $30 isn't a lot of money to them, they are going to jump on whatever they find.

someone over on shmups just bought a DDP DOJ board for over $500, when they are priced at $350. They were totally ok with that, as none had popped up for sale in some time. When another one does, lets hope it isn't $450+, but it probably will be.

Can't say the game isn't worth it.

Sorry to break this to you, but running away from home at 35 isn't really rebellion.

Rayman Origins has become my favorite platformer of all time.

All right, if you are certified cootie-free.
