Video Game "Look what I found"

[jay_red]

Picked up complete copies of Alundra and Metal Slug X for the PSOne for $2 a piece at the flea market today. Almost got FF7 Black label CIB for $2 as well but the sellers son showed up and while he was fine with all his other PSone games for $2 he insisted pretty much market price value for FF7 so i passed it up.

Just curious as to what he though "market value" was? Some people still seem to think that VII is rare or something, and that it should command some stupid value. If he wanted like $20 or so that wouldnt be so bad.

you got better games at a way better price, anyway. nice pickup. i always think it's hilarious that every joe schmoe at a flea market knows that Final Fantasy titles are "worth a lot on th'ebay" but you could sneak a persona or breath of fire III out from under them pretty easily.

I've noticed this too...you would think that people who sell video games to supplement their income would have a better grasp on the market price of their games. Usually, however, they mark Mario and Final Fantasy games up to a price well above market and let some truly rare and expensive games sit in a bargain bin...I guess they know what sells, however...

When i say market value I usually mean Amazon value which is a little more inflated then eBay but usually there are more copies to be had there and its easier to estimate the price range.

The price the kid threw up was $40 firm . Figured it was going to be a pretty big leap when the first words out of his mouth were "that's extremely rare and really expensive".

Reminds me of a recent conversation between my girlfriend and one of her coworkers. She told me she'd ask around locally and see if anyone has any old games they'd like to sell. Here's how the conversation went:


Her: "Let me know if you or anyone has any old games they'd like to get rid of."

Him: "Ok I'll ask but no guarantees, those are expensive and rare."

Her: "Not really."

Him: "Old games from Nintendo surprisingly go for about 100 dollars."


Then he links her to an active listing for a sealed VGA graded copy of Kid Icarus for NES that someone is asking like $40,000 for. As if the most ridiculous listing he could find is any indication of how much games in general are worth. haha

Why is it illegal to kick people in the face like this?

Also this further proves my point with how stupid grading video games is, sure if its a coin/stamp/dollar bill/baseball card, go wild, grade the shit out of it!

VGA fail.

Picked a NTSC-J copy of Street Fighter III Double W (Double Impact) for $4. It is missing the manual, but in great condition. eBay.
