I paid $30AUD for an original copy of Final Fantasy VII, new and sealed. I lost it and ended up paying $20AUD for another copy a few years later.
Around the same here. Although I paid in UK currency.
The price of a "new" FF7 on auction sites is ridiculous. Sometimes if a game is rare and it costs a bit more than retail price I might fork it up but $250 to $300 is insane.
