that has to be a record! To my knowledge that's the most, anyone has ever paid for a PAL MD game - the last game i saw that went for ?100 was Death & Return of Supes!

[kallbrand]

heh, amazing

[adam_the_browndog]

Thats quite cheap $305 for a megadrive game.

i paid about 50p for mine at car boot

[anagrama]

Jesus. Can't remember ever seeing it go for more than about £70-odd before. Think I paid £27 for a sealed copy (still the most I've paid for a PAL MD game).

[Tirian]

I think I saw it go up that high a couple of times right when I started collecting, but that would be almost 8 years ago ... and it's pretty much always Americans that push it up so high.

[anagrama]

Well, I'll take your word for it - aside from this and the ?100 Death & Return of Superman, the most I've ever seen a PAL MD game go for was when some goon paid about ?85 for SoR3 about 2-3 years ago.

I think it's probably down to Mega Man fanatics who get really excited when they realise that you can get Mega Man on the Genesis - with the Wily Tower (unavailable elsewhere?).

Anyway, here's some more insanity for everyone's delectation:

And the box is tatty!

That is NUTS for the megaman game. Anyone mind about two year ago when that italian seller found a warehouse box of around 30 copies and the price plummetted?
Thats how I got mine for £30.

Certainly do

[adam_the_browndog]

Apparently this Italian man found some more treasures,

including sealed Fifa 97's & NBA 97's

[cutmymilk]

One man's treasure is my turd in a box!

[Wolverine]

saw a copy of the infamous Mah Jong / Mak Jong for the Master System (PAL) go for £150 the other day! Ok it was boxed (no instructions - not sure it actually came with instructions) BUT £150!!!

[anagrama]

Yeah, I saw that one. It's sold for more than that in the past complete, but I think that's the most a box/cart one has gone for (and the person selling it paid a fraction of that price just a couple of months ago).

There were a couple sold recently on ridiculously low BINs too - about €30 & €50, I think. I paid about £55 for a complete one a few months ago (second highest price I've ever paid for a videogame!).
