While Cotton, and Bomberman '93 aren't the MOST common, this is nuts.  I just won SSS for $15 a week or so ago, so the box is now worth $85?

I bought Bomberman '93 (US version) new/sealed in 2007 for $38.

Looks like 2 of those are won by same person. Over all, prob this is just due to people who simply don't know better.

to each his own. take teh CA$H from teh dimwits.

This was already discussed:

It's only the tip of the iceberg. If you think this is bad, then you haven't seen anything yet.

Yea but these are even more COMMON & different games for even higher prices..and I've def seen the prices rising for awhile now, but especially for SSS for $100 when I got mine a week before (sans box) for $15...bit of a diff.

[TR0N]

As of late with these f*ckup prices who knows.Unless these sellers are part of the cult know as gamesqaud or some thing  Glad i stuck with the jpn version of cotton and bomberman 93 since there cheaper.Not to mention the jpn cotton has the option for english language at least.Though i can't figure out why so many as of late charge,so much for a u.s super star soldier i sure don't remember being it rare.

The first two are nothing more than a continuation of the artificial price inflation found in the thread noted by Press_Run (the $100 S.S.S. was among those listed in the other thread).  Cotton didn't sell for all that much more than it normally does, though one ended recently for around $75 BIN without any takers.  It probably went a bit higher 'cause someone wanted it for a gift.  'Tis the season!

I that glorious time of the year when it's time for vultures on ebay to rape the wallets of the weak minded and quick spenders.  AH holiday greetings to all!

OMG $100 for a used Cotton JESUS people are mad! I got a factory sealed copy for $59(thats with shipping included and insurance) not even a year ago. And more recently some bafoon paid $100 for a boxed Turrican, god thats one of the most gawd awful games oout there, not even playable IMO, people really are mad! Here is a list of people who are resellers on ebay that most certainly are questionable ,in my opinion anyways
GameSquad(these guys are total donkey cocks)
Ultimate Videogame Connection-okay but definately questionable at times-doesnt ever accept best offers that are more than $5 less than his BIN price
the Lobo Jack guy is definately in need of fine retuning as well. Just plain redicoulous prices

  $100 for turrican? ... wow. Fun game, but i'd pay $15 tops for it. I got Cotton back in 02 for $26 shipped (beat up manual) and re-sold it for $38 when the I had to pay back teh student loans. I re-purchased a mint manual this year for $2, and am running the game on magic engine. Although now it's kinda like drinking a diet coke with the fake lime flavor; I miss the real thing.

Anyone notice what Cotton is going for on eBay lately?  I'm having trouble finding any recent auctions.  Maybe there aren't any?

I got it as part of a deal back in December, and I just don't like it that much, so I think I'll sell it.  It's complete and mint, not a single scratch on the disc. Any thoughts on what it could go for?

I don't think its value has changed much, so it'd probably sell in the $70-$80 range.
