Title: drum roll please....AND YET ANOTHER EBAY DOUCHE BAG
Post by: Mathius on July 04, 2009, 07:12:38 PM

Yes, another sign of the times here in retro video game land...

I don't own, nor have I even played Earthbound on the SNES, but I'd love to one day. However, with sellers like this that day won't come soon. :(

All of the prices are insane. $899 for the FF gameboy games? At least one is a re-issue. :-s

Definitely NOT rare! Not as common as Chrono Trigger, but just barely.

Unfortunately, that's actually below the going rate for a complete Earthbound, as I've seen it over the past few months. Though his definition of "great condition" is a little skewed. And I wouldn't really trust the pictures anyway, check this out: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/sflaoaknyc-in-Game-Heaven__W0QQ_sidZ14462099?_nkw=snatcher&submit=Search. Read the descriptions carefully!

Looks like some "lucky" future Snatcher owner's going to be pissed at the seller and himself for not reading that the game doesn't include the case OR manual like the picture shows. That's shady business right there. :evil:

Auction should read...

EARTHBOUND $150

Auction is actually for a Polaroid photo of the game
