The Magical Chase thing is sad, really. It's not a horrible shooter, it's just not amazing either. Seriosuly, if we were talking real rarity, Beyond Shadowgate should be like 2 or 3 times as expensive as Magical Chase. Either way, paying that much for a Video Game seems stupid to me anyway. Just saying.
Considering you could get a ounce of gold for that much. Or a house payment. Or a cheap car. Or a badass computer. List goes on..
Someone posted in a thread here, a screen capture from Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, something like that. This guy holding a Magical Chase game, he posted a pic of him holding it, and commented something like, "Here it is, one of the rarest games ever, I paid $$$ for it, and now I'm going to sell it. But isn't that part of owning a very rare game, just to own it for a short time?"
I can't remember all the details, but it was something like that. So, I imagine there are some people out there, who just want to own it, even for a moment, so they can say they've owned it, then turn around and sell it on ebay. Seems pretty stupid. I'd say it may be like someone renting a pricey sports car for a short time, but the problem is, I doubt any of these people even play the game when they get it.
