Always tough to say it is a "gouge" when people are bidding, but that is a high price.  I haven't seen a boxed copy of that game...  ever?  That is surely the cause.
A copy without the box sold for $80 a few weeks ago.

I don't think it comes up very often CIB, though.  I bought my CIB copy together with 4 other CIB games (Galaga '90, Takin' It to The Hoop, TV Sports Hockey, & Vigilante for $135 shipped about a year ago, and felt it was a decent deal.

I had no idea that it was rare either until I went to buy it and way over paid. Then a member here sold his for $50..... Talk about missing the boat....    ](*,)

Did anyone see this BIN? The seller does not list titles bing sold and you can't even see all the titles being sold.


$10,000 for some video games, no matter how rare/desirable/awesome/badass/looksgreatonyourshelf they are, just baffles me. . . Dudes and dudettes are definitely free to spend their money on whatever tickles their fancy, but sweet lord. . .

Ok, I am beginning to feel better for paying what I did on the Jack game. I have the same thing with box and it is already at $245! Still way too much though!....

Wow!  I wonder how many are buying Jack Nicklaus golf cause they really really really want to play it?  I would just rather go play Power Golf.  I like Jack and have owned it since 92, but for a golf game Power Golf is where it's at for me.  I will still always say it pays to be an early Turbo adopter.  So sad that people gave two shits about the Turbo back then and now it's all the rage with new gamers, gougers, and resellers.

I would say that people that pay $250 for a golf game are not buying it to play it.
