So if TFM and Lofenloc get into a bidding war for one and it goes for $1000, you think that should be a good indicator of what a copy should go for even though the rest of the population of the planet that wants one is only willing to pay $200?

Kingofpain89 wrote:I think my opinion on the matter is pretty clear. Paying $400 - $500 even for a sealed copy of this is asinine. Is it worth $300? Perhaps....but I seriously doubt most people would consider spending that much even on a copy as nice as that one.
