At first I thought it was a typo on the price, but then I found:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amiga-Game-Myth-Magnetic-Scrolls-/110770578711?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item19ca70e517

and

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amiga-Game-Arkanoid-Taito-/110694487742?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item19c5e7d6be

and

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amiga-Game-Sensible-World-Soccer-96-97-/110707096568?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item19c6a83bf8

and realised he must be bonkers.

To be fair to the guy, he has 50 odd pages of generally overpriced vintage stuff.  If he makes a few sales here and there at these prices it's probably a good little earner for him.

Shop around and you'll beat these prices easily though.

Man, no not worth it.... I wouldn't even call Traps N Treasures 'RARE', uncommon yes...not rare...
Wow, if I would have known this, I would have bought 12 copies at Software Etc. when I had the chance years ago...

Paul , in the description it says the back of the box is smooshed in a little.... For that price it better be 100% mint.

It's also sold as seen and not tested.

So after paying all that money the game might not even work.

He does say if you want him to test it to send him an email but I'm guessing he will just load it to the title screen and then say it works.
I would want him to play the entire game to the end and also run the disc through some kind of disc checker.

I think I'd want paying £179.99 as well if I was forced to complete this game.

LOL!  I can get this game CIB in a bulk deal for less than $5. The rest of the games are kinda duds, but may as well spring for the package now that I know Traps n Treasures is worth so much.  :lol:

YEEEEE HAWWWW - Traps 'n' Treasures - a crackin' game.

Bought this when it first came out - at the full price of 7 quid!!!

Mine is in mint condition and guaranteed working order - got to be worth £180.00 then.  LOL
