You didn't open it, did you? Those go for serious money on Ebay, probably even more so now than when I was collecting SNES games in 2000 and kept up with the prices. Nope its still in the box. How much do they go for? Is it sealed or just complete? I see a sealed one going on ebay for $1,400. (I don't see it being sold for that much though.) SNES's that are complete but opened go for much much less.

My friend wanted a PS1 and there was a trade-up offer that if you trade in 4 SNES games you get a PS1. My brother gave him 4 games to trade in so HE could get it. Not really sure why he did it, I certainly didn't want to but it still happened to some of my games :/ Best deal: Buying an Xbox 360 with an E68 error (I think) which was hard drive failure for $10. The hard drive was busted, the 360 worked fine . Included all cords and a controller too lol

Everything came from a local car boot sale. However the N64 doesn't work and has been sent to a good home. But still, I think I still got a pretty decent deal!

3DS Posts: 1,580 Group: Members Member #1,218 Joined: Sep 5, 2009	Bought Etrian Odyssey in "Like new - Collectible" condition on Amazon a few weeks ago, and the game, and it looks like it's been used a lot and has removed stickers on the plastic like it used to have for sale stickers on it. And unfortunately the stickers weren't on the original plastic. It's like it was a used game sold off as new. Really ticked me off, and I paid $46 for it, too, kinda high. But I'm not going to return it because it's a hard to find game.
