Seriously, what gets into these sellers' heads? No one in their right mind would pay that!

OK, well maybe this guy! :shocked:

WOW... That's skipping the paint in coffee and going straight for the paint thinner.....
Looks like unhealthy amounts of turpentine.

The most expensive Amiga game I've ever seen actually sell in an eBay auction is: Castlevania... that auction ended for over US$1,100.00 I never saw it again so I believe the sale was successful.

Interesting idea of using ziplock bags to protect games... I may actually use it for my own collection...


Cheers,

I understand that having something rare (kind of) is cool, but to pay that much money for a game. I don't know.

BUT at the same time people pay thousands for this yellow metal... I think it's called gold or iPhone. I'm not sure anymore... :)

I refuse to buy anything from international-retro-guide. He charges way over-the-top prices for the items he has. How many new "sealed" games can one guy have? At the end of the day he can charge whatever he wants, but unfortunately there are clueless dim-wits out there that feed this guy his over-charged prices.

um, the way I see it now, the most expensive (Amiga) video game is the one you've wasted most time on.

There is a button to make an offer on those items. I suspect he dont expect to sell them anywhere near those prices, but just sets a high number there so he dont have to sell unless he is pleased with the offer.

Oh, he for sure "expects" to sell them at those prices.

One from the rock bottom of the looney-bin.

According to WorthPoint (they record all eBay sales) - Myth was sold for $1208 in april 2012. So I think it's a contender for most expensive Amiga game.

Damn, and here I sold my copy of Castlevania for $20 USD (boxed and everything).
