I had a huge craving to bust out some of my old RPG’s for the Super Nintendo, even though I’ve played them many times before I still enjoy them. I though to myself once I finish Final Fantasy 3 for the Super Nintendo I’d move on to an RPG that I haven’t played yet so I went right to eBay to search for a new game and was surprised that I could not find a game in my price range. I wanted to spend about 30 dollars with shipping.

I’m a collector myself so I expected some high prices but take a look at this. Earth Bound (Complete) was easily $350.00, yes I know this is a rare and great game but was pretty highly priced to me. I quickly moved on to other games such as Chrono Trigger which was close to $150.00, then to Lufia II which was $80.00. These games are all complete mind you and for the collector you want nothing else then a complete game.

I figured that if I was going to buy a game It would be best to have everything the game came with including the box. I searched instead for the game by itself and again noticed high prices.

Keep in mind these prices are in American dollars and with Buy It Now.

Earth Bound - Buy It Now! - $60.00

Final Fantasy 3 - Buy It Now! $40.00

Chrono Trigger - Buy It Now! $54.00

Lufia II - Buy It Now! - $55.00

With that all said and done I’m sitting here waiting for a few eBay items hopefully winning at least one of them. Still though by the time I win one of these (if I do!) it will still be close to the Buy It Now! price so I may as well just spend the extra money and get the game I wanted in the first place.

For those who are saying just “download a rom” you should be ashamed of yourself.
