I got kind of an odd goal. I want to get every game (boxed) that was released in europe..got inspired by:

It may sound absurd, but I really wanna do this and I know itll cost me a lot of money and will take years but I think thats a pretty nice goal. Hope its not impossible though. Im also on a limited budget so itll take even longer :p
But I wanna start with the classics of the SNES which might be the most expensive (I also want to play them, because I never did.) The only games I played when I was a child was Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Country 2 or 3. I missed titles like Zelda, Secret of Mana and many more that seem to be some real good games and real classics (according to their resale value). But Im only 17 years old so, I started playing snes in 2001 2002 or something :p
EDIT: I might limit my span a bit though. So not all europe releases, but all games with such a cult status like Super Mario or Zelda has. |
That's quite a noble goal indeed. Also crazy to see that went for over 20k. I used to have a boxed SNES collection with well over 350 games. I didn't collect "all", just RPGs and games that I thought I'd enjoy. Crazy to think how much I could've gotten selling them now instead of tossing them back then.
Anyway, if that's your goal you'll really need to be diligent about it. I don't know the PAL/EU market at all for these things so i honestly can't tell you if that's a good price for SMW. It seems a bit high honestly, but that's because I always buy cheap and will miss out on auctions if they are even $1 above my max (had to learn to be disciplined). You might be right that its the only decent condition one on there now, and if you need it now, then go ahead, but it most certainly won't be the only one EVER on there. So its all a matter of your wants/needs/budget and patience.
Something also to be aware of is that THAT seller collected these as "used" games and such over the course of a decade or so, possibly when the games were not considered as "retro" as they are now and arguably were more available than today's market. If you're going to hunt for them, be sure to look places other than eBay because you're going to want to run into some large (and cheap) sales either locally or on other forum sites dedicated to these things if its your goal.
