Nice find! Congrats, man.

Running a game store must be an awesome job :)

It's an awesome job for sure but I haven't play any of my current gen consoles in months. It does really burn you out though. You work 8 to 10 hours a day at the shop and the last thing you want to do when you get home is play video games.



I'm jealous, not of the game, but of your way of making a living. Good luck dude, and don't jack up the prices too high for the rest of us

What? I had no idea this game was that rare.

Reminds me of being at a friends place and seeing a sealed copy of Suikoden II and explaining to them it was worth hundreds of dollars. They just shrugged saying may need it if other copy broke some day.

There were two sold in the past 3 months one in July and one in August. One went for $450 and the other $750. My is more rare because most of the copies there have a hole punch barcode. My barcode is not hole punch.



Congratulations!

I see.  Had no idea games had that element to them in terms of collectors.  Glad you got something you wanted.

 Someone traded this in the other day. There is only like 10 known sealed copies and 50 copies total out in the wild. This is 10x better then when I got Earthbound and Demon Crest traded in.

 

you got those boxed?
