Digitpress has Earthbound at a 5 rating.

It's still fairly expensive, I don't get it, it's not like it's rare, it's a GH title FFS.

It falls under the "They're everywhere but expensive for the hell of it" category.

Earthbound falls under this category as well.

Wait, Earthbound is common? Fucking hoarders

Yeah. EarthBound, as in the English version released in USA/Canada for the SNES, is common as muck. It was one of those flashy "big release" games that was designed to "introduce Americans to the RPG" and they where all released with a massive oversized display box, a full strategy guide and 'scratch n sniff' sticker book. The problem is, this priced the game way out of the market and it sold poorly. The thing had a massive run though with half a million copies being made (in English), but less than 150,000 of them sold in USA/Canada combined. As a result it wasn't even released in Europe an as we all know, no other EarthBound/Mother games have been released outside of Japan since.
