IMO.... I wouldn't pay that much for any game except maybe air raid or like the Nintendo champions(only because they are worth more then gold and hardasses own them;) but anyway it kind of takes the excitement out of game hunting if you buy all the rare ones on ebay at pricey rates... For example I really wanted kid klown on nes but after a little time it turns out my friends grandparents own it and I will be buying it from them later this week. I traded like gen sports games and super common Atari games and got 125$ credit, then on top of that the guy had waynes world(nes) for 20$ then knocked it down for me... I love game hunting it takes mind of things and gives me something to do. butt I will say I do buy off ebay a lot, But it's mainly bulk lots of games that majority that I don't have.... But that's my opinion. It's all up to the collector like what sin2beta Said.

i agree about the thrill of hunting is fun. I did that a couple of times but you have to drive so far to do so because there is nothing near bye, i'd rather just buy on ebay. last time I went game hunting i spent over 40 just in gas. and it wasnt as far as i should have gone. if i hit up the nearest big cities or outskirts of the big cities, i would spend over 100 or so in gas. its tough for my situation and especially with no local game stores.

Lol I am in the same boat man. Nearest goodwill is 25 miles or soo. nearest fleamarket is about 20 miles and I drive a 95 suburban. gas aint cheap but maybe you could gather some peeps to chip in for gas, if not there has to be some kind of reseller of sorts or some kind of thirft store. A guy that sells furniture and novelty's around here even had a dunk hunt(he also said he had a sealed Atari not to long ago). sometimes pawn shops have them. or yard sales.. they are the best. I never go cause I never get up early enough for them:(.... Wait.... why you worried about gas when u would be spending over 1000 on a game :P

theflea:
Would I pay that much for Flintstones 2? No. I might go $500 if I had the money on hand but I just cant justify paying over that myself. I think the most I ever payed for a Single game was $300 and that was tough.
