do it
take it and run
too bad it's not half price games lmao
>>336937372
not a bad condition for that price, to be h bruv.
i have one myself. girlfriend spent 300 on it. do it nigger, 250 ain't really all that much to spend on something you actually want. you would spend more on a ps4 and have less fun with it than that game.
>>336937372
That's a rip-off, you can get them for much cheaper.
For that price you can get a Wii U and pirate it.
It's the internet's fault for making you want it so much!
>>336937372
You could buy a SD2SNES for less or a Super Everdrive for much less.
Is earthbound THE video game?
As in, it's THE video game?
>>336937372
Do you have a bit to open so you're sure that you're not buying a copy of Madden w/ a new label smacked on it?
>>336937372
What the fuck just download a rom of it why would you spend that much money on an old video game.
>>336937372
You alright, desuka?
>>336937372
Worthless piece of plastic that will literally deteriorate before your very eyes.
The game is out there is so many different forms, even a direct Nintendo release on virtual console for buyfags and plenty of roms for piratecucks.
Save your goddamn money.
>>336937930
It's the original Undertale.And just as overrated.
>Just the cartridge
Don't be a cuck
I saw it for $150 at a Half-Price Books two weekends ago.
Didn't even bother since the game isn't $150 good.

>Nintendo itself charges 10 bucks for the game
>collector cucks eagerly pay 20 times more for some godforsaken reason
>35 dollars for a GBC game
>250 bucks
why not just emulate it for 0 dollars? Or get a wiiu for 250 dollars and emulate it for 10 dollars?
Really, physical collections are fine, but when shit is so ridiculously priced for no good reason, I just don't understand it. The game is fun, but it's not a masterpiece as everyone claims it (mother 3 is far better), and frankly the batteries are probably fucking dead in half of the carts out there.
>>336938719
Welcome to the wonderful world of retro game collecting in 2016. In the last 4-5 years, the prices of fucking everything has gone way up. Just emulate shit, it's not worth paying $65 for Super Castlevania IV.

it's just an additional cost on top of an already ludicrously priced board.

The developer, Titus, already had a relatively bad reputation at the time, so the game really got buried in the bargain bins by the time it left stores. Over 15 years later, Super Nintendo collectors are trying to flesh out more of their collections and finding this piece to be a challenge to track down in good condition."

>>336939270
it's on the plastic case holding the cart you retard.
For that price you could instead have almost the entire SNES library in one cartridge.
>>336939445
in the mid 2000s retro games were considered junk and you could walk into any used media store / flea market, and walk out with a box of em for $20
what happened in 2007-2009 to turn the scene into a collectathon?
also, why the fuck are n64, gamecube, and even wii first-party titles still selling for $50+?? The only reason anybody bought those consoles was to play Nintendo first-party games, so it stands to reason those games are by far the most common. I'm not going to shell out $70 for SSB Melee or F-Zero
The same thrift store where I got these at now puts all their non-sports games in the glass case at ebay prices.
Truly these are dark times.
>>336939934
>what happened in 2007-2009 to turn the scene into a collectathon?
Bazinga.
If you ever find yourself in a situation like OPs, find find someone that shops there frequently. They usually have a calendar from them, and those are filled with 50-75% off coupons. They work with games and DVD/blu rays too.
>>336939445
>No supply
There is plenty of supply for these games, far rarer ones go for less money. It is just millenials trying to reclaim their childhood since they can't actually afford to buy any adult things like houses or cars.
>>336939934
People that played them back then got older, and chase after their childhood with their extra money instead of starting new families.
![pkADJ[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/BeXraNE.jpg "pkADJ[1].jpg")
I once made a reproduction label of trip world and glued it on a tamagochi game. Sold it to a guy who had scammed a friend of mine and got his money back.
Who knew that by just placing it on a nice plastic bag and sealing it would be enough to make the guy buy the game without even testing.
He deserved it.
>>336939982
>okami
>2.99
nice.
I have a near mint copy with case and manual, tried to trade it to a local game store, they were gonna give me $7, I pulled up ebay and showed them 8 auctions for the same quality shit with all the stuff included for 40 and 50 bucks. I know they have to make a profit but fucking christ, no wonder game stores are going down the shitter.
>>336939934
"nerd culture" had a massive boom and people started selling these games for extravagant prices on ebay, it took another year or two for thrift stores to start doing the same when the mass amount of news stories started talking about it, id give it a decade or so when video games start to simmer out again, then all these games people paid thousands for will be worth 20-30.
>It's a "The Pawn Shop is smart enough to look up prices of the item on ebay or ebay-equivalents" episode
>>336939934
The kids who played them grew up is what happened. A few year old things are simply outdated, but decades old things someone out there will always have nostalgia for.
>>336940265
Fucking genius.
Makes me wonder how he reacted afterwards.
>>336940265
is this game fun? looks fun.
>>336940414
>A few year old things are simply outdate
but even Wii games are suffering from price bloat now
>>336940389
it irritates me when stores do that shit, they know damn well ebay sellers overcharge everything
>>336940389
What really sucks is that a lot of the ebay prices are thrown skyward because of chumps who got scammed by the VGA and assumed that since their "appraisals" cost them an arm and a leg that the game itself must be worth at least as much.
>>336937372
That's a terrible deal. Though I got it for 200 dollars not 250.
>>336939982
>not just getting the PS3 HD version of Okami with downsampled 4K
Y-You turdgobbler!
>>336940265
I always have to wonder how many sealed games are actually shit like this. It seems incredibly easy to rip people off since the people buying them never intend to open them.
6th gen is already increasing in prices, buy whatever you can fast or else you will see games like jak and daxter go for $60
>>336940389
and at the same time you have the phones who spit right back at you
>just because someone is selling it for $200 doesnt mean anyone's buying for $200! $20 for your copy of Little Sampson is honestly the best I can offer

>>336940767

>>336940767
What the fuck happened here? I was going to buy that game six years ago when it was $60 before realizing that's a fucking retarded price and just pirated it like every DC game.

I know a guy who makes reproduction carts of Earthbound and other overvalued games, selling them to suckers for a huge profit under the pretense that they're genuine.
There are a lot of fake games on the market.

Did you know that eBay has a wonderful button called "Show completed listings" in the advanced search options?
It filters out everything except auctions that actually sold, so you can see the prices people are actually paying for things.
>>336941085
I did that at a yard sale once. I sold tons of repro carts of earthbound with the lockout chip shit enabled for $20 bucks a piece. I had about 30 carts made and had them thrown in a box with a bunch of shovelware like ken griffey jr baseball, super ninja boy, contra 3, etc, SO many fucking scalpers.
>>336939431

he spent $1,000 on rare games at one garage sale (the owner was an ex-Nintendo employee) and made $50,000 selling them.

ARE YOU ME??
Holy shit, about six years ago I was in the middle of burning of a ton of DC games on 700mb CDs when a small retro game store opened in the mall. They had a lot of games but Cannon Spike was always one that stood out a lot for me. I never bought it, or most of the games there, since the prices were pretty nuts. The place was later replaced by a chain retro game store, which has also since closed down.
>>336940717
>exposing the EPROMs to light

no it's just proof the sega genesis was a piece of shit only contrarian sonichu fags prefer because their parents made the unfortunate mistake of getting that over the SNES which everyone else finds holy as clearly seen by the retro business booming.
>>336941823
People want it for some reason.
Meanwhile you can buy a repo cart of it for $30.
>>336941678
they can do whatever they want
meanwhile I'll continue getting sales from listing buy it nows at 20% over the average sold price
>>336941823
Fairly rare, high demand
What's not to get?
I lost my copy I had as a kid because I let my brother hang on to my old games and he sold all of them.
Picked this one up for $170 because there was a tiny nick on the top of the label.
Feels good.Happy MOTHER's day.
>>336941596
oh fuck I didn't even know this was a thing
why do a bunch of the chips have holes in them, anyways?
>>336941085
Why don't more people do this, ya might not get away with some of the more expensive ones often but you could sell some shitty ones for 20 or 30 a go.
And if they work sure whats the problem?

I could've gotten it when it was brand new.
I could've gotten it when it was bargain priced.
I haven't fucked up this hardbut dammit, I've come close. I sold my GCN copies of Phantasy Star Online 1&2 and Cubivore when I was more desperate for money, but only for about $40 - $60. Certainly not nearly as much as they're worth now. Life's not fair.

>>336937372

>>336941864
Ayy lmao. We know that the SNES games (that aren't fucking rare) with the highest prices are all RPGs. Absolute garbage games.
And we know the SNES used market is supported by legions of Youtubers promoting meme games like Earthbound.
It's funny how the Genesis games which command high prices are actual masterpieces like MUSHA.
>>336941953
>Fairly rare
except its not, nintendo marketed the shit out of earthbound which should tell you that they had a shit ton of copies ready for people to buy
>>336939934
I went to a used game store yesterday and looked at the Wii titles, most them, even the shitty shovelware titles, were running $30 or more. Why do people think old Nintendo games should be worth more automatically, especially when they're more popular titles that are definitely not rare in any way.
They also had a lot of "brand new!!" copies of PS1 games like Crash and Spyro that were priced at $100+. Why do all these shit resell places base their prices off what people think they'll sell for on ebay?
>>336938170

>>336940265

>>336942820
I've noticed on Amazon they have gone from 250+ to now around $170 at it's lowest so who knows. I bet that won't last though. The lowest priced ones would most likely look like total dogshit.
>>336942820
Nope, they'll only get higher as more people buy them and never re-sell or trade them on. Then take into account that carts, on average, are well over 20 years old at this point so a ton of them are going to start coming to the end of their life or in need of a repair and then also take into account people are salvaging games to make repros.
Anyone paying that much money for ANY game is a moron but hey it's their money.
The market for Earthbound is pure cancer.

just wait until you try to collect turbografx
>>336943419
Flashcards have problems because how SNES cartdriges worked.
They work for most games anyway.
>>336943419
Except for the games they can't play.
>>336942821
I kind of disagree. They had a few Qanba fight sticks for the same price as if you bought them from EightArc themselves. Of course, the advantage is that you don't pay or wait for shipping. They might've been used but they sure looked like they were in great condition.
I've bought several games from there and they were all either at or below Amazon's prices. I have no complaints, except for my copy of Bowser's Inside Story which had pencil writing throughout the instruction booklet but I guess I should've checked first. That being said though, I don't bother looking at anything SNES and Genesis or older and I will say that their N64 prices are generally way too high. That's about it though. They need better fucking AC in that place too.
I've been to New York twice and that place, Nintendo World Store, and this other small video game store run by Chinese guys are all top notch places to visit. It sucks living in a podunk town in South Florida where GameStop and BestBuy and other major chains are my only in store options.

1 is ass with no solid storytelling and a "here go wherever you want have fun having to backtrack a billion times till you find the right order :^)" 2 is fine but it's just that, fine, bland and generic with no interesting storytelling devices (besides the whole giegue is a monster woah so dark and twisted shit which is just as prevalent as EBZ and not a lick more). 3 is far from a great game but it's still leaps and bounds better than 1 and 2. It has a coherent story, the characters actually develop through the story, the gameplay is SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER HOLY SHIT, and best of all there's a real threat that isn't a fucking alien copout.

>>336943528
The amount of games they can't play is small and most of them aren't in short supply and can be picked up for reasonable prices, other than one or two.
I bought an Everdrive N8 & Ever MegaDrive not too long ago and it's been great. FDS for the N8 isn't fantastic but it's a hell of a lot better than paying the extortionate prices for games like Gimmick.

Cheapest one I found was 10 bucks but the most expensive one I came across was around 60 dollars.EXCUSE ME WHAT?!

Superman 64 AVGN. You're not old enough if you don't recognize that.
>>336943814

I suppose I was too harsh on their store because I do go there fairly often and mostly have no complaints. I know modern games from them like, say, 3DS games are basically equal to amazon, but I did see some - you'll have to take my word for it as I forgot the titles - non imported PS2 titles that were like at 39 dollars. As you said n64 is really high also. Overall decent place though.
Mind if I ask what chinese run store? I might go check it out.
>>336941165
Whats up TX bro! I forget the name of the place. Was it Gameover Videogames? I remwmber me and a buddy went out of the way to go there just cause we were bored.
Why the fuck would they not sell it?
>>336943885
okay faggot okay
>>336941893
The repro is actually better because it removes the censored stuff from Mother 2
>>336943898
its a possibility but its an entirely different topic so who cares

Would you honestly believe I have never watched a single episode? How the hell doesn't he know what titus is? He must be around 30 now.
>>336943394
It seems to go for $40-$60 on eBay, add $20 if it's not a Player's Choice.
>>336939272
Underappreciated post, adding a +1 (You) to such a well timed meme.
is yakuza 1 & 2 complete worth $80?
>>336944064
He does, it was just a fucking joke. literally 5 seconds at the start of the episode because their logo is a random fucking fox. I'd actually recommend watching a couple episodes if you're ever bored. They're not too bad, and the ones from 2008-2010 still hold up.

>no one replied to me, so i'll do it.
>>336937372
What's the easiest way to steal a copy of this, because fuck paying $200 for a game.
>>336944369
If you have a purse or some shit, just put it in there.
>>336944318
To be honest I forgot I even posted that until >>336944172 replied to me.
>>336944271
I've been saving it for a rainy/netflix keeps fucking my proxy day, maybe I will. I've been avoiding it mostly because he seems to be nintendo focused and I went in a different direction, but thanks anon.I'm nearly 30, help
>>336944369
>2016
>being a nigger
Just download a rom or buy it on the eshop for 7 bucks
>mfw I have a SNES earthbound in a drawer somewhere
So you are telling me I can get hundreds of dollars for some videogame in my closet?
>>336944487
It's just NES-centric because that's what he had. He starts doing other games pretty shortly after the first couple seasons.
And he's like 36 or 37, don't worry about it.
>>336944449
Please be in London.
>>336944495
When it comes to Earthbound, you're either a nigger or a Jew.
>>336944369
Go to emuparadise.me and search for "Earthbound."
>>336944369
go into with a shotgun
>tfw never find any extraordinary deals online or at stores such as HPB
Uh... Are ToeJam & Earl and Castle of Illusion rare games?
it's disgusting how pricey these games are. I don't have that much of a problem with it though, there's much better games on the saturn/dreamcast that never got re-released and they can go for pretty cheapas long as they're not shmups
>>336942587
And then there's this faggot
>>336937601
Books aren't half price either.
>>336944580
Jew > primate
>>336944026
Yeah man just like all those other years, including this current generation.
>>336944842
Thank god for Pseudo Saturn.
>>336944842
>Not replacing the CD drive on your Saturn & Dreamcast so you can load games from a SD card.
Step it up.
The people crying over the prices are only angry because now they can't become game resellers themselves.
>>336939160
AVGN happened. He made retro games look so cool and fun at the same time. He just influenced the millennials to buy retro.
>>336942038
Erasable Programmable ROMs are development ROMs which are erased by exposure to UV light through that little hole
>>336940870
get a USB modded SNES controller and yes it is, without getting completely cucked out of your money by retarded nostalgiafags. NES and SNES emulation is pretty much perfect
>>336945170
Are you talking about the Saturn? on the DC you can get an SD card adapter that you plug into an unused port, you don't have to do anything to the CD drive.that means I did step it up
>>336945340
>>336940870
Just get a softmoded Wii and use a gamecube controller.
>>336937372
Anyone who pays more than $20 for that crappy game is a poser.
>all PS1/PS2 RPGs are inexpensive as fuck compared to SNES/NES RPGs
Why?
>>336945442
Yes, the Saturn.
It's called Rhea.
>Not buying a Retron 5 and converting all of your roms to ips files and then putting them all on one SD card
>>336945518
Hardmoded PS1 can play burned games, that is less than 10 cents per game, you dont need the original games at all.
Sofmoded/Hardmoded PS2 is the same.
Meanwhile, SNES and NES games need a expensive cartridge to be able to play that cant be pirated that easy/for cheap.
>>336945706
>buying an emulation machine
>one that is designed for a flatscreen at that
>>336945810
What modchip do I need to run burned discs?
>>336939160
The sellers are stupid and think that old = rare. And then there are hipster buyers who are even more stupid and pay for them
>>336945889
MultiMode3, i hope you know how to solder.
Its $2-3 per chip, really easy.
Or you could pay $10 for someone to do it for you.
>>336946056
>>336945889
For PS2 you just need a memory card and 007 to play burned games.
Or a IDE HDD.
>>336946147
FMCB alone will let me run burned PS1 discs?
Almost a year later, and the HPB near Tacoma is never gonna fucking sell this
It also doesn't help that the guys running the register near the game shit are a 1:1 representation of every retrofag stereotype in the world, and have probably pocketed the best games before they even make it behind the glass case
>>336946359
For PS1 games on PS2 you need a hardmod, i dont remember the name of the chips for PS2 sorry.
FMCB alone wont do because how lame the PS2 homebrew situation was.
>>336946390
OP here. That's where I found Earthbound.
>>336942042
I bought my Rule of Rose 2 years ago for $100. It was around $125 back then, over $200 now.

The retro-gaming market bubble is going to burst sooner or later.
The problem is that the market at this point is replicating the comic-book market back in the 90's and if it isn't careful, a lot of sellers are gonna suffer the same way many comic sellers did back then.
Retro-gaming, like with comics way back when, has turned into a market whose product values are increasingly becoming pure speculation. These so-called collectors will eventually be forced by circumstance to pawn these games they're collecting for far cheaper than they purchased them if not just give them or throw them away, we already starting to see this with the NES game market.
The problem with the retro-game market is that it is too full of trophy collectors. These faggots buy the games just to have them and put them on their shelf and stand in front of them in their youtube videos. As more of these people purchase the games and don't trade them in, the carts become scarcer and it becomes harder for those who would get them game to actually play it to get it. Luckily for the actual retro-"gamers" though, without easy access to the original cartridges they pursue other methods of acquiring the game for the purpose of playing it, bypassing shelf-collectors and shekel-hungry retro-game sellers: flashcarts, emulators, virtual console services, cartridge repros, etc. By the time the shelf-collectors & sellers are ready to let go of these items, they'll find there won't be much of a market for them. Eventually, they'll find that holding onto that copy of Detective Comics issue #1 that is too sensitive and precious to open was a waste as now everyone who wanted to actually read it but couldn't without getting an original copy from those collectors can read it now. The guy who bought 3 Earthbound carts for 800 dollars may find suddenly when he is forced by debt or home expenses to sell them may find he has to sell them for extremely less when the market finally crashes.
>>336937697
I want Earthbound so god damn much but I can't bring myself to spend 200$ on one game
>>336946459
What if I own the PS1 disc but it's from another region and want to play it on PS2? Do I need a hardmod for that too?
>TFW Fighting games are one a genre with reasonably priced games.
Except for Clayfighter Sculptors Cut. But that's just cause it was rental only
>>336946641
Probably, PS2 Softmod only controls PS2 games, not PS1.
Its cheap anyway, shouldnt be more than $6-10.
>>336942876
PSA 85 Boxed Chrono Trigger is currently up for 11,000$
No box, no worth.
Mine
>>336945236
i went to a resale shop a while back and they had a copy of Seaman going for $100, i doubt anyone knew or cared what it was til he did that episode
>>336946586
So basically, just gotta wait a bit until these people's purchases come back to bite them and but it from them when they're desperate for cash to get a legit copy?
