It better include a real life Knights of the Round materia when you purchase it.

Looks like a brand new, sealed copy of the original release.
I’m not going to say it’s a steal at that price, but I’ve seen higher prices for “rated” copies of the same thing. That’s the thing about rarity: It only goes up.

I sold an opened played one like 10 years ago for over 100$ so maybe?

Looks like it’s a factory sealed copy. Probably why they only have a photocopy on display to keep the actual product safe. As sad as it sounds, there are recent sales of factory sealed (black Label) copies on Ebay that sold for $1500. To each their own I guess. Fans of the franchise who have disposable money.

This could just be more of that garbage they tried to do with Nintendo games. Artificial inflation to rob the speculative buyers.

I mean, if I saw it in someone’s house, I’d be impressed. But I downloaded a copy for somewhere in the neighborhood of $5-$10, and that works fine for me.

That’s almost the same amount of money Blockbuster wanted after I didn’t return this game a week or so after its due date. I realize they were losing money every day I kept it, but I hope they understood that I really needed that gold chocobo.

How do you know it’s authentic if it doesn’t have the case crack that every actual copy got immediately?

factory sealed original release, black label not green.

I clearly remember when my local Best Buy had about 100 of these lined up, taking up half their PS1 section.

Just time travel and steal it from your 12 year old self.

I initially saw (or maybe it was confirmation bias or my mind tricking me) that as a yen sign, in which case it would be very reasonable!

Retro game prices are messed up these days because that’s just the price for the photo. The sheet protector isn’t even included.

The thrift store isnt thrifting

This shit right here is ridiculous.
You know what is free? A pirated copy.

Are places like Goodwill and Salvation Army trained to look out for pieces like this? Genuinely curious, I went into a Goodwill and found several N64 games ( Legend of Zelda, Golden Eye, Rogue Squadron, and a random Japanese game all CIB for $5 a piece. This was about 4 years ago. Now, the rarest game I will find is Wii Fit or NBA 2k2.

That’s so dumb.

Damn you rich, can I borrow a dollar?

I still have my black label copy on a shelf, not sealed of course but in near perfect condition… Tempting.

It’s probably the rare misprint variant that sells for a ton. Either way. Rip off.

I have a day 1 copy in perfect condition, is it worth something?
