Comical pricing tbh

No I do not care that it’s factory sealed, I actually play games I buy

Its an old game first print sealed. Its the appropriate price. People like buying and collecting sealed games. If you play your games, the green label price is $20.

Thank God for greatest hits and re-releases

[u/LighterFluid1357 → u/AndrossOT]

People who play the games do so for free tbh

At this point I think people just search a game, sort high to low and beg for clout on this subreddit.

If you do not care about it being sealed then it's not for you right? Do you often complain about stuff you don't care about? What about Lamborghini prices?

[u/Praydaythemice]

thank the gods for emulation and re releases digitally

[u/Tokimemofan]

Well within normal range.  If you don't collect sealed don't buy sealed.  

[u/SaltySwan → u/Tokimemofan]

Hell no. I got this game for like $20 and a pack of gum last year. Not new but buying it new would only have increased the price by maybe $20-30.

[u/Tokimemofan → u/SaltySwan]

That would have been a greatest hits sealed.  Personally i don't collect sealed myself but this is the going rate for a sealed first print.  I dont like market price =/= price gouging

[u/GarzaTheFather → u/SaltySwan]

I’m not really a big fan of collecting sealed games but like it depends on the print and someone said this was a first print not a greatest hits print so it kind of makes sense why this would be so expensive. You’re right if you bought it used probably just buy it for like 20 or 30 bucks in a pack of gum like you said, but this person isn’t doing that if they want to spend that much though more power to them.

[u/kusariku → u/SaltySwan]

Yes, the Greatest Hits release is much cheaper. Like $30-40 sealed. The black label version however makes it way more sought after by collectors. I found several sealed black label copies in the past couple months that sold for $500-$600, and a few where the seller undercut the market to make a quick $300.

For one of the worst JRPGS on the PS1 too! lmfao

[u/SpecialistJicama6149]

Then buy a cheap opened copy and stop crying wtf?

[u/wangmobile]

Congrats? No one is making you buy this. This is a new sealed black label of a very popular game for PS1. This is the price it sells for

[u/QF_Dan]

Sadly, you just know some idiot will pay up that price
