Big ebay sealed auctions ...

and you also cannot say it the price will stay the same.
Simple as that. The noobs do all the stuff.
I've been searching for Morrowind Collector's Edition for PC recently.
A couple of them ended at 100$. Then some noobs appeared and the auction ended at...what? 300$!!.... there is a big difference between 100 and 300$. They kept fighting till the end. It was ridiculous.
And then another one also ended at 100$.

yeah right, its called market fluctuations.
but variations in market prices is different from overpays!

Any bets on the final price?

I say at least 300$ USD.

Anyone can tell me why this game is so freakin expensive???

- It's the final game made in the Marvel and Capcom collaboration (Marvel and Capcom have since broken their contract, leaving a bittersweet tastes in gamers mouths. Other games they made together include Marvel vs. Capcom 1, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes, and even all the way back to PSX w/ X-Men Children of the Atom, and EVEN SNES w/ games like X-Men Mutant Apocalypse!). Note that all of these games are rare and also fetch a high price!

- It's considered by many to be one of the greatest 2D fighting games ever, and considered by almost everyone the last "real 2D fighting game". Now most of the games are 3d like Tekken, Soul Calibur etc.

- The game itself is extremely fun to play! A whopping 52 characters, 3-on-3 tag team competition, unique special moves and larger than life hyper moves, all 3 of your team can do their hyper combo at the same time and the combo meter goes up to 999, and you can see dream matches between your favorite Marvel and Capcom heroes. It was also (and may still be) in coin-op arcades (do these even exist?)

- The game is unique in that there are TONNES of infinite combos, making most of those 52 players unplayable in high level competition, yet still keeps the fun for everyone whether they are new, or competitive players.

- And of course, it's rare and out of print.

Now i see. There is a slight possibility this can be better then KI

Any 64 gamer should jump on this. I would but got no money with petrol hitting $2 a litre soon

Yeah, no shit That's all he does is flip games on ebay but sometimes you know what, someone who invests that much time on ebay deserves to make a few bucks. Case in point - I just purchased Sunset Riders from dvd galaxy for $79.99, so he's making a profit because he bought it from that same original seller for $56 or so. Yeah, I'd rather pay $56 but guess what, at $79 I still think it's a very good deal and I missed the original auction so he wins. And I win too because I get a game I have wanted at a good price.

Ouch. If only I'd bought some from the bargain bin way back!

First, it's not Sylvio,it's Andre. Sylvio is my twin,and don't post on forums for years.

$40 game,for a factory sealed Final fight? I already won 3 of them,it never was for less than $100.
Correctly advertised of course.

And again:condition is everything. This one has perfect shaped corners,sides,etc.
That make a difference with 95% scrappy factory sealed copies,with rips,holes,tears,scuffs, bumped corners.

The guy bought it for cheap,but there was NO photo.So he could have received a perfectly shitty condition one.
That's the price of the risk.

But i'm willing to buy 10 of your $40 Factory sealed Final Fight,please. sell them to me.

thats right!
the value of a perfect sealed copy is different from a sealed copy with scuffs!

Totally agree on that point but still, $200 for Final Fight? Wow. Thanks for setting a new bar for us Adol

I think you can find a cheaper one but maybe not in that condition so its not overpaid! And I think there generally is no overpay because the price which people pay for any game is the price that set the current value !

Adol's copy was purchased the week before for $40. Overpaid!

rarebucky wrote:Adol's copy was purchased the week before for $40. Overpaid!

Hard to say overpaid here. Adol knew what he's paying for. However i cannot understand why he could not buy it from original seller.

rarebucky wrote:Adol's copy was purchased the week before for $40. Overpaid!

Since it was stock photo,no. And to answer to darksol:i don't buy from stock photo.
And you can't even prove you're talking about the very same copy,then.

To be overpaid,i'm still waiting you provide me an URL of an uaction,with factory sealed final fight in SAME condition, for cheaper.

hey Adol and why couldn't you ask seller for real picture? That's how i did.

I've just never seen sealed FF go that high, but it's not surprising Adol since you always pay top dollar Cool though. I have a sealed FF (mint) that I bought last year for $20...

Waverace officially beats the price I paid for Metroid II back in November! Are sealed original GameBoy games now going to rise in value?

Perhaps, but that was a very very high price, obviously.

It's charity. I guess that's either Abramovich or Bill Gates bidding.
