Yeah, Earthbound has been fetching some ridiculous money lately. That, however, is very unlikely to be sold at that price. 6x the price of the highest CIB I've seen in a while? Quite ridiculous.
jcalder8:
Considering how much Earthbound has been selling for I'm actually surprised that it isn't higher than that.

Ridiculous? surely you must be kidding, after all it does have a VGA rating of 80 (I am kidding  ;D)
At least he is offering free shipping  ;D

It always makes me sad to see stuff like this.

I love Earthbound and I want everyone to be able to play it that wants to. At a price point over $200 CIB, and even over $100 cart only, I know people that have an interest in actually enjoying the game aren't always able to get a copy.

As probably my favorite game ever, I'd rather have more people playing and enjoying the game than being able to flaunt my own CIB copy of the game (although I do that from time to time  :P).

And then I see this copy, trapped forever in its plastic, and it's like Stinky Pete in Toy Story 2...it doesn't know real love because it has always been just a collector's item.

I think I've just convinced myself to never by a sealed retro game again.
