ChronoTrigger, Brand New! Factory Sealed!! Only $1,217.00
chief blaze | 8:50 PM on 02.03.2008 19 comments


Wow, this is crazy, on Ebay today someone bought SNES - Chrono Trigger, Brand New! Factory Sealed!! for $1,217.00 US. Insane. I love old games and think all that nostalgia crap is fine, but I think this is outright ridiculous.








I cant believe I would be the only to think this is insane.

Here is a description from the seller:


Up for auction is the Holy Grail of all video games!! A brand new factory sealed Chrono Trigger for Super Nintendo. Thats right this game has never been opened and even the packaging and outside box are in Mint condition!! This was from my personal collection and was given the utmost care. I would go as far as saying that it is worthy to be displayed in a Museum type setting. I have a 100% rating and and pride myself on my honest and reliable transactions so bid with confidence!! This item will be shipped securely to ensure that you receive it in the same condition as it was sent. Don't pass up this chance to own a piece of video game history that has been preserved in its originally purchased condition!! This game is worthy to be the cornerstone of any serious gamers collection!!! Buyer to pay $7.00 for shipping and handling. Shipping insurance is available and highly recommended. International buyers are welcome however, shipping charges will be determined by the buyers location. For this auction I will ONLY accept PayPal or Money Orders as a form of payment. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for looking and good luck!!

The most i'd be willing to pay for that game would be $30, and i absolutely love the game.

I think I'd pay $80 max for it if I didn't have other obligations at the time. $1,217 is too much

it looks like there are print scratches in the cardboard on the box. it was probably just a box that was well cared for and someone resealed it. whoever bought it is a gullible chump.

I have the Japanese SFC cart still in box but not sealed... Still one of my favourite pieces of video game memorabilia. I love this game so much that if I was a rich motherfucker I'd probably pay that much just to say I have a sealed copy

lol, this one is just 100 pounds. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Chrono-Trigger-SNES-Super-Nintendo-Complete-IN-BOX_W0QQitemZ220167369382QQihZ012QQcategoryZ112752QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I don't know why people think Chrono Trigger is such a rare item - the game sold a fucking ass ton of copies, there are millions of the damn thing out there! It's like trying to sell a rare "Halo 1" copy. OOOOH, how rare!
