thank you
The odd thing is, you don't accidentally buy something rare and collectible from an obscure independent retailer, that's limited to 1,000 units worldwide, and then give it to your child to play with, ony to then sell it on eBay for considerably less than you paid. Something is very strange about this listing...

As a buyer though, yes, you certainly got a steal there! The last time I checked on these they were making almost double their initial retail value for a used boxed copy, with sealed examples fetching between £450-£650... It could be that the value / interest in these has dropped significantly lately, or it could be that the faded artwork is what put other potential bidders off. I did notice that the words "Phantom Hourglass" weren't included in the listing title, so perhaps that's a contributing factor to the low low finishing price
