How much is too much?

**Avarice-ness** · 08-31-2007, 03:21 AM

NOTE: This isn't an FFVII hating thread, it just conveinently shows the point I'm trying to make.

I was just running around facebook and stuff for my college network and between old used cars and school books I find this.

This crazy lady payed 300$ for an unopened FFVII, then to make it better her son didn't even want it because he wanted FFVIII.

How much are you willing to pay for a mint copy of a game that you like? In general just a mint copy in general?

Would you pay 300$? I sure wouldn't.

God no. I'm a collector, but I'm not crazypants.

id give someone $20 for that but then id probably open it and play it. afterall thats what a game is for. im a collector i understand not opening something but i always buy for regular price and sell myself for crazy prices that i know people will buy for.

Wait.. What? xD

But yeah, she spent 300$ for her kid to play it. Like... I'm sure she could have wasted her money on something better.

I'll pay $50 or $60 bucks for an unopened game, and for Disgaea I might pay $70, but no higher.

I'm also a collector, but I wouldn't pay the price of a console for a videogame. I might pay as high as $90 to get Suikoden II, but that's the extent of my crazyness.

I'm buying the Legendary Edition of Halo 3. I don't want to comment.

Well, you're getting more than the game itself so it's worth more (and hopefully the games good, I shelled out an extra $10 for the special edition of FFXII and was thoroughly disappointed with both, BITE ME FANBOYS).

My friend bought that game for 50$. Why pay 6 times that much?

Yeah, at least with Special Editions you can pretend you're paying for something worthwhile. I don't think there are any games out there I'd pay more than the MSRP for.

I second.

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.

Who in their right mind would pay $250? I don't care if you collect

or not, the extra $220 or so is not worth it just for an 'original' copy that will play the exact same as the platinum or greatest hits copy.

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.

Maybe $50 at the most out of my own pocket and for old games I really want, like Xenogears or
Vanguard Bandits.
