Title: My US UPC Sonic the Hedgehog up for auction
Post by: marvelsofindustry on December 03, 2011, 10:38:33 pm
Low reserve (what I believe to be a more than reasonable price for it anyway). On the auction it says No International Shipping on the auction but I will make an exception to any users here, but only to Canada. Thanks for looking.

Nice, hope it turns you a decent profit! I'm sure someone is bound to snag it from you.

woah, is it really worth 250$+? Isn't it just the European version with a different UPC sticker in front of the one on the box? Might as well just get the European version :P

Well, good luck on the auction, it seems to be going well for you already :P

Here is an interesting tidbit of trivia. This was the last game released for SMS in the States. Ha

Buy the UK version if you are buying this game, for some dumb reason the only difference in the two is a UPC sticker and people are head over hills for that sticker.

Do you happen to have a link? If it was posted there, it wasn't by me since I hadn't heard of r/gamecollecting previous to your post.

bump, less than 24 hours left. Not a lot of bidding after the reserve was hit (as I expected) but a lot of watchers. Hopefully that constitutes into a lot of bidders late in the auction. Thanks to everyone that had a look.
