Why does Exile 1 remain so cheap? Is it that common?
New copies of Exile and CF2 remained in stock at Working Designs right up to the end ('05-06). Game Quest Direct bought most (all?) of the remaining WD stock and still sell them new for $49.99. Telegames USA also had a boatload. Their copies were picked up by a lot of European dealers. $5-12 was the going rate for sealed copies on ebay for several years, maybe '07-10.

There are many other games that you can find on ebay, sealed and with a reasonable price, just like Exile. Just saw Yo', Bro, Dragon Spirit, Shadow of the Beast, Prince of Persia, etc. for $29~49... not that I would pay any extra for a disposable plastic that I would rip off and throw away but they're a far cry from the gouged prices on other turbo games.

I guess I'm not sure why, but I'm always surprised that Sherlock Holmes 2 can be found sealed for $30.
I can't imagine it sold very well and would be harder to come by. So odd which games command the higher prices sometimes.

After reading about CF2 being so cheap new, I thought I might find a used one for very cheap. Strange enough there isn't a used one on Amazon, and Ebay only had one used one for more than the new ones, plus it was from Canada.

Nothing strange about that.  Who'd ever get rid of Laura?  :mrgreen:

Well, I'd get bored with her and kick her out of bed after a few weeks and go back to my regular woman, Scarlett Johansson.

Sounds like an invitation to get beaten and robbed. Most Craigslist transactions these days are sketchy to the point where I'm only doing public location pickups.
