Yeah, that is pretty bad. He cites in his
description "this is an extremely rare game". Anyone who has anything that
is truely desirable typically starts the bidding under $10 knowing that hordes
will jump all over it.
To change the change of topic slightly, anyone got some
nominations for anthologies that really are worth having? I'd toss my
personal favorite "First Ultima Trilogy" (for the Apple no less) into the ring
(and after hunting for it forever I've seen no less than 5 on ebay after getting
one). My reason, aside from being an Ultima/Origin person, is that Ultima
II is branded "Origin" instead of "Sierra". That gives it value (to
me).
One more bit... I can't help but be annoyed at the
"collector's editions" of games over the years. Collecting package
variants, promo items, author's signatures, etc. of classic goodies made it a
fairly personal experience. Now with "numbered limited editions" of too
many major titles (Age of Mythology, Return to Castle Wolfenstien, Neverwinter
Nights, Jedi Knight II off the top of my head) it seems to take the satisfaction
out of it. Warcraft III takes the cake (Gift box edition, collectors
edition, four different package variants for two sets of box sizes).
Purely for exploiting their fans (IMHO). Now THAT'S
greed.

Sorry for being a tad off topic, but couldn't avoid mentioning this. I think some people do push their greed too far?

Yup that's right. A Quest for Glory Collection for $149 with a BIN of $160. And I wouldn't be too surprised if someone'd buy it...
