There is 1 or 2 members I know of willing to pay over 300.00 for it. Plus if you count all the newbie here who are just collecting the "gotta have it US collection" you know all the ones who want to know what this or that game is worth.
Games currently in play:
PS3: COD Ghosts

I see terraforming is up on eBay right now at $202.50. Seller has 0 feedback and a copy of beyond shadowgate up also.  :-k

So..., how many members here are looking to get this game?  (and are willing to pay $150+ for it?)

Just curious.  I'm also curious as to how good of a game this is.  In other words, should I be bidding on this too?  :P
You want strangers to tell you if you should spend two hundred dollars on a game you know nothing about?

Sure, why not?  I mean, it's just money, right?  In the world of obey, who takes frivolous considerations like money seriously?  If one must obey, then money is no object.   8)

TG-CD w/13 common games for $700 BIN.  0% feedback seller.  I'm guessing it's a young kid, but still...

At least it comes with mostly good games instead of the usual collection of blah sports titles left over after all the fun ones were sold separately.
U.S. Collection: 98% complete    157/161 titles

That's ridiculous, not even a best offer or buy it now option.  Seller is starting the auction at $700 and is probably hoping a bidding war will ensue.

Well, I would have loved to have gotten it, but my money was far better spent elsewhere getting me a very nice copy of Dungeon Explorer II and some other goodies.   8)
(And no, I didn't buy one of those two or three copies that just recently went for $400+ each.  My copy was much more reasonably priced, even though it still cost me some.)

I'm just happy that I now have my most-wanted TG-16 game, and I'm hoping to get several friends together soon to play it multi-player.

OMG, Awesomeness. Congrats, that is my fav TG game, hands down. I've been trying to find the (J) version for cheap, to fill out my collection.

Multiplayer is a total blast.

If someone were in Japan, certainly they could get the games for less, but seeing as how they are on this hemisphere, starting bid of less than $10 ea seems reasonable to me.  It contains a bunch of games I already have or aren't interested in, so it's not juicy enough of a deal for me to bid on, but I wouldn't consider it gouging. :)

Agree, not gouging, just trying to help him out.  Actually thought it wasn't too bad a deal myself.

If this will make you happy :lol:...
