a stupid "what's it worth" question (with a twist)

[Lord_Santa]

not sure where to put this, so I'll just throw it in the off-topic section:

thing is; I have a retro-game-store in my town
that is... I have 1 retro-game-store in my town

the guy running that particular store knows he the only one in town
hence... he's an ass-hole

he buys my games for ridicolous prices; or should I say "trades" my games for ridicolous prices

but he has games which I seek

now, some time ago I bought Bahamut Lagoon and BoF 1+2 from him (JP/SFC) and payed about 35€ all-in-all

I thought it to be a fair price

now apparently this ass-hole (forgive mah repeat, but he really is) is selling Final Fantasy V (JP/SFC) for 15€

I looked at it last time I was there, but didn't pay much attention to it, since I thought it to be rather common

turns out there's another store opening up in my town that trades Final Fantasy V (JP/SFC) for 140€

and in turn they sell Super Nintendo (the machine) for 80€

now (in theory) it would take me about an hour to make a profit of 125€ and since I don't have an SNES, but been desperate for one since.... release... I figured I could make a trade here

but I have no clue as to what Final Fantasy V is really worth

I don't think I'll be able to sell it on-line at any higher price than that, since the store I'm trading it with sells it for 180€

but just to make sure

how much is Final Fantasy V (JP/SFC) worth?
as far as I've seen it has the box and the cartridge, I am not 100& sure if it has the instruction-manual, but I am almost certain it does (my other games I bought there had it)

is it worth trading for an SNES (and a couple of games, I gather it), or should one hold on to it, etc.?

I mean, the guy selling the game (the ass-hole) knows everything there is to know about PAL prices, but (apparently) nothing about the rest of the world's prices

I sincerely, deeply hate the guy and would love to rip him off, laughing all the way from one store to the other, but I don't want to make any mistakes here

so what do you guys think?

I bought FFV CIB for $12 shipped on ebay...

I bought FFV CIB for $12 shipped on ebay...

I figured it'd be something along those lines

damn Swedes don't know a thing 'bout pricing

oh well, I'm going to phone the "other" store (the one I'm trading it with) first and see if their prices are legit

thanks for the info

As for the condition. It's complete and in very good shape.

That and it's a very cheap game in Japan too. About a dollar or two.
Go for it!!!!
