Forums - Gaming Discussion - Some Ridiculous Prices for Great Classic Games on Amazon

Stats87 on 15 July 2009

I was just doing some browsing and came across

Xenogears for $200

Tales of Symphona for $108

FE:PoR for $110

Skies of Arcadia: Legends for $99

Tales of Abyss for $94

Fire Emblem (GBA) for $91

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for $67 (I got this for $15 at Electronic Boutique)

Golden Sun for $170

Golden Sun: The Lost Age for $110

Final Fantasy: Tactics Advanced for $85

Baiten Kaitos for $69 (this seems cheap comparitively)

These are all prices from the actual Amazon retailer. Would anybody seriously pay that much? Especially since some of them you can get much cheaper through different methods. I apparently saved myself $280 by downloading the Golden Sun roms onto my cpu.

I actually had an original black label version that I got when it first came out, but I sold it in 2002 for $70 to EB because I didn't think i would play it again. But then I did want to play it again so I bought a Greatest Hits version in 2005 for $35 off Ebay, which included shipping.

Those are the new prices though. If you flip to the "Used" tab on Amazon, you can get Golden Sun for $10 instead of $100+.

Yeah I saw that, but I'm just wondering what Amazon is thinking. For that price, I would expect the game to be delivered in a golden briefcase being carried by the game's director.

35? that's a sweet deal IMO.

dont think AMAZON sells those games anymore, just people who realize that these games are really rare nowadays.

Yeah, I was super shocked. I was expecting to pay $60+. It was $29.99 plus $4.99 for shipping
