Title: Bonk 3 Whats it worth?
Post by: hindsr1976 on May 06, 2008, 02:09:16 PM: Hi,
I have a chance to get a copy of Bonk 3 CIB (very minty) for in around $250 Cnd. So I was wondering if it is worth that much?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Rob

Going by ebay prices, the US hucard version is worth US $80-130 complete (sold for $50 loose last week!) and the cd version is worth US $100 and up (I've seen the cd version sell for over $200, lol). The Japanese hucard version is worth around US $30 and up in complete condition.

By my price list, Bonk 3 card + manual gets $89, and with box is about $99...sealed is close to $200 (all US prices). Bonk 3 CD commands a higher price because it's a low-quantity run (less than 3000 discs in the world) and I've never seen a truly factory-sealed one on eBay (seen a few "re-seals" though).

Thanks Guys for the input I really appreciate it.

The last expensive game I need is Magical Chase.

Post by: MurderDate on June 03, 2008, 03:15:58 AM: good going.. 250 dollars in any currency (well, in many currencies) is a high price for a video game. Good to see you were patient and paid half as much. In my eyes "250" is begging to be taken down to "200" - I'm a big negotiator.

Post by: geepee16 on June 07, 2008, 05:12:50 PM: you did the right thing. $250 if it's sealed. if it's in perfect and complete condition, consider anything less than $175 a bargain.

Post by: Duo_R on September 01, 2008, 06:34:07 PM: I saw the going prices a couple of years ago and sold it, I don't regret getting $300 plus for a game. Best investment ever since I paid $50 brand new. Whenever this shows up on VC I will definitely drop some points on the download.
