Insane nerds bid war for a sealed Chrono Trigger

[Hobo Xiphas]

Well, Xiphas Classic (as TootTootTheRiotBus on YouTube) had told me that Marty Goldberg, who most on here probably know about through Tatsujin's "The 'How Do You Look' Thread", was the one who had made this discovery, and Xiphas's own copy was evidence of this. This may or may not apply to all casing types, however, especially tougher ones.

Toot Toot.

I doubt Marty made this discovery by himself.  I am saddened that apparently he didn't discover the peanut butter trick himself either.  Oh well, yet another hero has been brought down to earth.

ANYWAYS, I have seen this happen without a doubt.  My copy of E.T. for example has had shrinkwrap crushage.

I meant to say that it was your copy of E.T.: The Extra-Teresstrial that you've told me what your proof was, but I forgot to type it in before (in was corrected in the previous post).

If it wasn't Marty Goldberg, then who could it have been? Like I said before, this may not apply to all casing types, especially harder ones.

A factory-sealed TG game won't crush over time because the shrinkwrapping isn't very tight. If you have one that did cave in on itself, it's a rewrap. It makes me wonder if NEC deliberately shrinkwrapped games in this fashion; to stand the test of time.

This isn't exactly calculus or evolution, it's not like there is extensive documentation on this sort of thing.  It's not very important after all.

Maybe you should make this your life's work.

Neither the buyer nor the seller have received feedback for this transaction yet.....

I've never played through Chrono Trigger. I remember renting it once when it came out... but I got bored with it and returned it before beating it. I recently fired up a game via emulation. Haven't played it in a few weeks though.

The buyer is from Belgium. This had to be some sort of rich boy bid war or some sort of price drive up maybe. No one would be stupid enough to pay 10x of what the game can possibly be worth. Also, I hope something like this doesn't give people ideas on a Buy it Now option of $500 or something retarded like that.
