I feel like it skates that edge between common and uncommon. It makes me cringe whenever someone claims it's a rare game, not even close.

how can something that's a maximum of only uncommon be that high in price?

If that would be the case wouldn't it have the same price range as say secret of mana 30 ish $ for a lose cart let alone the insane prices of a cib copy. should be way lower. we all know that sought after games that have enough copies either have some decent value value or low affordable value but not insane value such as earthbound that doesnt make any sense.

seems to me like high value items end up on the market allot more often since people need money resellers just like with examples such as panzer dragoon saga little samsom but being less rare than those 2

everything can be made common on ebay if all people decide to sell the same items.
dreama1:
How are you defining common anyway? Do you mean in the sense that it's rare but can you can find a fair amount of copies listed online?
Do you mean listings barely show up? or do you mean if they printed a few million copies? If so Earthbound is hardly common and it sold like shit when it came out.

I'd go with Final Fantasy 7. It's pretty expensive for how common it is.

if you're asking me then I meant a few million copies slightly less. Also in my opinion just because a game is expensive cheap or common or rare, often times that don't increase the quality or the price of the item, it's sheer chance and YouTube influences that drive a lot of prices up

I kid you not, I once saw a seller on Amazon selling a PlayStation 2 phat for exactly $1,000,000 US dollars and someone might have bought it too. or it went down in price because it is long gone from amazon.com

(edit)
Mickey Speedway USA for the N64 is a Mario Kart clone and it's an excellent alternative for a kart style racing game but because it's not mario related it is not as popular and is way cheaper, at least when I got it
