I think Godzilla: Unleashed would be a good candidate to add to the list - prices are ranging between 50-80 on Ebay right now, and seeing as how it's an Atari game, any further reprints are unlikely (I believe it is available on PS2, however).

EDIT: Sorry, I see now that this one has already been mentioned. I picked up a complete copy today for $8 and knew it was rare, but didn't realized it had been discussed earlier.

:mrgreen: I found a CIB copy of the Metroid Trilogy!! i had $13 of credit and a $20 gift card so overall I got the game for 39.88 Not too shabby considering they’re going from $60-up.

:( Only thing missing is the Sleeve, if anyone has one for sale pm me.

Nice find! I remember I found this one about two years back when I wasn't specifically looking for it. I saw the shiny case sitting on the shelf at Gamestop (Whiteflint one which doesn't exist anymore) and I recalled it being tough to find so I grabbed it. The funny thing is it was only $44.99 used at that point.

Did you take advantage of the B2G1 free for Wii? I purchased a few stragglers I needed for the collection. I still need to chase down a few more of the harder to find games.

Unfortunately not, I just bought Metroid and a couple of rpgs on the PSP. I found this copy in the Frederick GS (non-Fsk one)

The GS that I normally find rare titles at, is the one in Gerantown, and the frederick one (near Best Buy)

The Germantown ones are definitely awesome especially the one by Bestbuy/Target. That location is huge and stocked with tons of games.

I love that one and they always have the limited editions of games in stock and the older ones on sale or sold as used. I live like 5 minutes away from that store.

The sleeve will end up being worth as much as the game! almost like some SNES games!

Or like Earthbound with scratch and sniff cards!

You made what over $400 from doing that, stop bitching and buy it back. I had one copy I traded for a Naomi game and I am happy. I never even put it in. I do want to play it but not at the current prices and I am still happy with my trade.
