I wouldn't mind paying $70 if it was the complete original big box with printed manual and inserts and it was in good condition.

Overpriced games
People who ask such high prices for an old game just do that because they know the game isn't been sold in the stores anymore.
Some stores also ask sometimes too much for an old game. CoD 4 for example was long time the same price; about €54,95. Even when WaW was out. Now since MW2 is released the price finally dropped.
For those who don't know it yet; Planescape can now be bought from GoG. For the little price of $ 9,95. I wonder if that means the same price in Euro's or that they handle the exchange rates.

I'm pretty sure they have the same price worldwide.candesco wrote:For those who don't know it yet; Planescape can now be bought from GoG. For the little price of $ 9,95. I wonder if that means the same price in Euro's or that they handle the exchange rates.

As a European buying from GOG, it'll use the exchange rate of the day the money is withdrawn from your credit card.candesco wrote:<snip>

So it is $9.95 for Europeans as well.

If I recall, the reason CoD 4 is still sold at the same price until the release of Modern Warfare 2 is because of its popularity even though it is way past the release date. The former is more to its rarity as you pointed out (and probably the owners wanting to earn some extra cash from the original price they paid for). Two very different situations if you ask me.candesco wrote:People who ask such high prices for an old game just do that because they know the game isn't been sold in the stores anymore.

But for someone to pay $60 - $70 for a game that came out ages ago, that screams desperation.
''They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
