Obviously you have the original official cartridge.
my sister does

I saw a near complete one for sale in a store nearby but fuck $60?  I think it's cheap for Chrono Trigger, but still, I'm not paying that much for a game that's over 10 years old
* Rowan just paid $30 to buy Mega Man 6 <_<

Different story there, though.  I own the real carts for Mega Man 2 through 6 now, I just need the original to have all the NES Mega Man carts :-)

I do. :D

And, uh, 60? Hella overpriced. Bought a copy for $45 at the flea market a year ago... haven't ever seen it priced higher than that.

Oh wait, it was near complete. Well, whatever >_>

Does anyone here own the Megaman X3 cartridge and want to sell it, by the way? I'm on the prowl for that game :>

Nah, I think the only X game I own is the first one.  If I had X3, I'd probably sell/give it to you, though

I wish I hadn't sold my Megaman X cart :/

Also, if I was buying Chronotrigger, I would want one that's been unplayed/had all saves deleted.
This is going in my sig. :)

If I get a game with old saves, I usually delete the lowest level/worst file and save the best one for no particular reason. Unless I need more than one file for myself.

Also goddamn I really want X3.

You would be suprised.

I looked at good used copies of FF7 (online of course) some were going for $60-$100.  A never opened one was $400!

Other games I looked at (Tomba 1 and 2 for this example) and the lowest I saw was/is selling for  $65.

Yeah, but most of those are people overpricing somewhat. Granted, some collectible/rare games go for a fucking TON.

Yeah this is very true.  I hear some NES games sell for a nice 1k.

Yeah, it can be ridiculous. Buying Earthbound complete will cost you upwards of $150... harvest moon for the SNES is almost a hundred last I checked. X3 should cost me a pretty penny as well, being the rarest, best, and most valuable out of the first three X games.

I really hope that the tropical storm/hurricane hits here. I'm unbelievably excited for it to come :D

Also just spent a few hours organizing my coin collection. Should probably go to sleep...

Same, apparently a friend has an open house for a while, so this should provide a decent amount of fun. Also I really need sleep.

The reason FF7 is like that now is because no free copies exist. That is to say, the entire original release was sold. And no one really thinks to get rid of it. I'd say the Greatest Hits version is very nearly like that too. I've been tempted to sell it off a few times.

Wow, the entire original release sold? Impressive.

I got mine second hand for $34, back when it was going for about $80. Unfortunately, the third disk was unplayable (hence why the people pawned it in the first case). I should really burn a backup and play through it again.
This is going in my sig. :)
