$200 is more than fair. take it while you can

I'd pay you $600 for it.

its about to price drop

>>477684
You're a jew tho

The price may drop after the initial release, for those that only want to buy it to play legally. But the pool of collectors can only grow after more people play it virtually. The price should eventually start going up again. Which is silly, it isn't even rare. 140k sales in the US alone. No blockbuster but not worth those prices.

Might as well cash-in now, prices are gonna plummet once it comes out on Wii-U, though it could steadily go back up in price after people dl it and want to own a physical copy (see Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid)

You do know that "earthbound with scratch-and-sniffs" is slang for buttfuck and rimjob, right?
You just sold your analginity to some old creeper.

>>477684
Enough with the Earthbound threads already, jesus. There's like five of them now.

OP, you're making money. I would do it if you want to give it up. Don't ask for more money if you already quoted him $200.

>>477703
The guy is kinda a jerk and a ebayfag. I can't feel too bad.

Whats a good price on a SegaCD I'd love to get one and burn snatcher.
Also anyone have experience with a Sega CDX?

>>477709

>its about to price drop

Not in Europe because it was never released in PAL regions so will always be hard too find.

VC is okay but many collectors snub it.

>>477727
Well, I wasn't trying to start a earthbound thread. Collection fag is more my speed.

I'm wanting to get some real rare stuff with the money not just something in high demand.

>>477684
Selling the guide?

I lost my copy of EB years ago but I have my guide near mint condition. Would never sell.
Not for $200, that money goes fast and then I'd have that void in my heart where that guide used to be. ;_;

>>477729
I got a Genesis 2 and Sega CD model 2 together in working order for $25 at Goodwill. Wouldn't pay more that 30-35 tops for both together, no more than 20-25 for the standalone Sega CD. A working model 1 CD will cost you even more.

>>477767
Well you started with an Earthbound image for guaranteed replies, right?

And yeah >>477771, I agree with this guy. I would sell the cart and keep the guide.

Got castlevania 4 and dracula x in box for $5 at a video store that was selling his old snes games. Got so many games that way, that was such a sweet spot for cheap collecting

>>477771
>that money goes fast and then I'd have that void in my heart where that guide used to be. ;_;

Ugh, this. the VC announcement is the only thing making me want to sell.

I got this game x-mass 95 and my mom, sister and I sat and played it all day.

But on the flip if price drops to $100 then I'm gonna kick myself for not selling for $200 and just re-buying for a $100 less.

>>477775
So, how often do they break? are they as bad as the jaguar CD? easy to fix?

>>477831
>my mom, sister and I sat and played it all day
D'awwwww. Did you name all the characters after your family? That's super cute.

>>477831
why do you have 3 copies of most of your games?

>>477828
>Got castlevania 4 and dracula x in box for $5

hnnnggg

I was thinking of buying dracula X with the earthbound dosh.

This copy of Dracula's curse is the only thing I've gotten a good deal on, it was $13 on amazon CIB.

>>477831
>So, how often do they break? are they as bad as the jaguar CD? easy to fix?

Model 1 CD's are more prone to stop working because they have an opening and closing disc tray, while the model 2 has a flip-door. These things are getting old though, and the lasers could go at any time without a little TLC. CD-X has a similar design to the Model 2 CD but they are expensive but will probably last you longer as CD-X models are generally newer that standalone CD's.

Also recommend testing the model in a physical location before the the purchase is made, just to make sure. AND make sure it's an actual Sega CD game and not a music CD, as worn out models will try reading games as music CD's when they're about to go kaput.

>>477767
>$69.99 for OoT

>>477915
Jacked up like ridiculous, but that said if that was how much the going price was,... it would still be worth it.

>>477880
Not actually my collection.
But regions, though he seems to have a few of the same of one region.

>>477843
Mhmm, we named the dog after our dog at the time. (who died less then a year later ;_;).
Mom also miss read one of the monster names, spiteful crow as "spit-fire crow" which we all thought was funny and she still remembers the game to this day because of that stupid spit-fire crow.

>>477898
Thanks for the info bub. Happen to know anything about the Saturn? I've been itching to try all the old Sega stuff I didn't get to try as a kid.

>>477767
what a shitload of fuck that store is. my local store has all those games at half the price at the most.

>tfw your local shop has a Shantae cartridge for $150 and you're seriously considering it

>>478003

>Happen to know anything about the Saturn?

Don't pay more than 40 for one with all the cables and controllers. 20-30 without as long as it comes with decent games. Make sure you get an Action Replay Plus with the 4M so you can bypass region lock-outs plus play any 1 and 4 MEG enhanced games.

>>478019
Geez, just the cart alone? or CiB?

>>478019

I don't know if it's for collection or to play it, but know that WayForward plans to release it digitally soon.

>>478045
Thanks again.

The guy i'm selling to has a few and ones with the AR.
I'm thinking he wants too much.

Can you burn games like you can with the dreamcast and Sega CD?

I'm curious to wonder why people think Earthbound with bounce back when the game goes digital.

This never happeend to a lot of games. Look at Marvel vs Capcom 2. Ico, Metal Gear Solid 3 - Subsistence, ect.

I know I'm listing off PS2 games but I think it would still apply. Earthbound is outrageously priced. It can only hurt it if it goes digital. Thank, fucking, god.

>>478191
because all those games you listed are still kinda pricy.

But I think it'll bring the games price down to earth like what happened with FFVII.

You still see copy's of FFVII for $70 (hurr) but you can find it for $20+

>>478003
>she still remembers the game to this day because of that stupid spit-fire crow.
That warms my cold little heart. Thanks for that adorable story.

>>478108
Burnt games -- not without a mod chip. The AR lets you play JP games on a US console.

>>477831
Horee shit, that's a lot of Castlevania.

>>477757
>VC is okay but many collectors snub it.
That has nothing to do with the price. Earthbound's prince is purely a demand>supply deal. Earthbound isn't rare at all. Once VC lowers demand the price will drop dramatically.

>>478231

MGS3 is cheap as shit now dude, it used to be through the roof before more copies were printed ala MGS Collection for PS2, and the rereleases for 3DS, PSP and PS3.

MvC2 does still have some value, especially the Dreamcast and Xbox versions, but it has dropped since people can play it on 360/PS3 now. What that other poster said is probably what's going to happen to Earthbound.

>>477831

Ssssooo you like to play Castlevania?

>>478290
>MGS3 is cheap as shit now dude

I assumed he meant the red LE. I don't ever remember standard copies being too much.

>What that other poster said is probably what's going to happen to Earthbound.

Which poster?

>>478264
Thanks for all the info pal. and you're welcome for the story :3

>>478328
I love Castlevania to pieces I've played all of them but only own physical copies of newer games and the more common older games.

I'd love to get a collection like that going though. which is part of why I'm okay with selling earthbound.

Need to shelve these someday, but here ya go.

1/2

>>478624
I can't believe i forgot the picture.

>>478629
>>478624
2/2

>>478264
>not without a mod chip
Swap trick is pretty fucking easy and you can region patch ISOs too. The only mod i did to my saturn was a pal60 switch.

>>478629
>all those sports games.

I went to a goodwill a while back and they had -TONS- of CiB SNES sports games, I just couldn't bring myself to buy them though...

I did get that NCAA one because the box art

>>478629
>5 copies of all stars

that's more copies than there are games in that compilation

>>478678
Swap trick sucks, loads the TOC for the original disc and makes read performance suck donkey nuts because it doesn't know where files are on the disc

Don't be a pleb, get a modchip

>>478752
Alright, show me where to buy a modchip for my model 1 then.

I'll just wait here.

Why hasn't there been a digital port of snatcher yet?

>>478768
You can modify a model 2 saturn modchip, some anon posted a link to a site that sells them if you contact the owner of the site directly but I can't remember what it was. He even posted a pic.

>>478791
I meant for those to be separate options by the way, the guy sells model 1 chips but you can also modify a model 2 chip with relative ease

>>478791
Just remembered what the site was.

Kill yourself.

WHY

>>477831
Dude Castlevania isn't even that good get over yourself

>>477709
It's really coming out? What about the music and licensing??

>>480204
LEL

>>480207
what?

>>477684
Earthbound for $200 is a good deal. Most sites I've visited sell it for $250 or more. Some even reaching $300 - $400.

I've never understood why this game is so expensive. Is it rare or is it just that good?

>>480223
It's not that good. It's simplistic, tedious and nearly broken. I don't recall anybody giving a fuck about Earthbound as anything but "that weirdass RPG on Super Nintendo where you can say your favorite food is pussy" until Smash Brothers hit the big time.

Oh god, the assburgers.

>>480223
>Is it rare or is it just that good?
No and no. It's because it's a good (but not $200 good), well known game by Nintendo, it's uncommon, and people everywhere with little interest in actual retro games who are picking up on it because it's trendy in whatever fucked up little circles they're part of want to take pictures with it.

>>480243
>>480250
Oh. Because my brother kept telling me to play it, so I downloaded a ROM. It's a fun game, but it wasn't all that special.

>>477713
they're most likely just gonna make an updated port if it does well on the VC
i have a feeling they'll 'update' it similar to the way they did to Final Fantasy and pokemon games on the ds
make sure they don't fuck it up. cause those ds ports were kind of shitastic to me.

>that weirdass RPG on Super Nintendo where you can say your favorite food is pussy

Just that made me want to try it

>>480243
>I don't recall anybody giving a fuck about Earthbound as anything but "that weirdass RPG on Super Nintendo where you can say your favorite food is pussy
Cute. That's because you're a 1990s baby.
