EarthBound Worth a Small Fortune

Wow, they really just keep getting rarer, aren’t they…?

I’m still surprised that Chrono Trigger is that much. Sadly, I also had that game. Too bad I lost all of my SNES games.

i have a space distorter made mato! right now, it only goes one hour in the future and takes an hour to work though.

No thanks to me for point this out a good while back? 🙁

You didn’t have scans 🙁

But I do thank you for telling me though.

Hi, Mato, I have other scans from NGamer Brasil, one about the Mother 3 translation and a “History Lesson” about Earthbound, can I send it?

In better quality, i promise. (lol)

Yep, just send to tomato@starmen.net.

Cool.

But… but… but… I took a picture! Very blurry but, hey, not everyone can have a working scanner.

Weird, I only got your message and not the pic then. The contact form has been eating attachments the past two weeks all of a sudden. I wonder what happened. I better fix it before more cases of this happen.

That stinks. I’ve recently started looking for the game, and it looks really hard to get.

Oh no Mato, I referred you to a thread I posted on SM.net, from a post in one of these blogs, and linked to the picture there.

Thats a lot of links

I should’ve bought a pile of these when they were in the bargain bins…

Yeah, no doubt. I remember seeing it all the time for $10-$15. Mine doesn’t have the box – but not planning on selling it anyway 🙂

That makes my wonder that a person should buy things twice if you know it’s going to be rare or not?! You have to wonder

I haven’t looked at prices for these besides the cartridge, but wouldn’t it be cheaper to “build” a fresh EB set and buy the cart, guide and box separately? My game was about $70, and I can’t imagine the total price of the other stuff would approach the cartridge price.

Well they’re harder to come by. Also, there’s a big price difference most of the time between a cart+guide+box set and a complete copy (that only add the publicity, a white cardboard and some cheap stuff)

I never owned a copy. I used to temporarily trade Chrono Trigger for it. Now I have no SNES games except for Super Mario RPG. Is that expensive now?

I saw 2 copies of EB in mint condition in a electronic store in jamaica, back in 2003. I was really confused by that… but sadly I did not spend my j’s on a copy. I also remember when best buy and the now-long-gone Camelot music store (great lakes mall, mentor ohio) had dozens of mint copies of EB long after they got rid of their SNES games and were only selling N64 and PSX games. That was probably 1998 or so.

what should i ask for complete package(game,box,guide)?

Depends on the quality, but realistically, I’d expect it to go for $150-$200 if you actually want to sell it. You can try to sell it for higher, but you’ll be a lot less likely to get a buyer.
