Jaguar XJ 220 an EXPENSIVE GAME!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[evilevoix]

When did this happen? Somehow now it is a rare game and commands a high price? I had two copies and sold one with an old SEGA CD, am I missing something?

Thanks guys

Where have you been?

It's actually dropped in price... LOL

Though it's a tad higher now than it was a few months ago. But that goes with all SCD games shootin' through the roof at the moment.

Asking prices don't mean anything. If I list a copy right now for $10,000, it isn't suddenly worth $10,000+.

If you look at the completed listings, it failed to sell with BIN prices of $46 - $49. Which means people aren't buying it at the those prices because it is not worth even that much.

Here's a current listing with a BIN of $30-

Maybe they want the game to be worth as much as the actual car is nowadays?

'Cause seriously, I highly doubt the game's that f'n valuable.

I thought this was a $5-10 game. WTF?

[bultje112]

oh my god. pls grow a fucking brain. these are asking prices :facepalm: nobody is paying that kind of money for it.

it's just the typical price gouging that happens on ebay all the time, a complete xj220 can be had pretty easily for $20-$30. someone here had a complete one listed a few weeks back for $25. a cd only copy of it can even be had for as little as $5.

Yeah, and part of what drives the value for this game up is the fact that it's a earlier cardboard box release for the Sega CD. Most of the boxes were tossed after purchase or are beat to hell by this point.

[Baloo]

Yeah, early Sega CD releases like Final Fight CD, Jaguar XJ 220, Road Avenger, etc. are generally going to be more expensive complete because they're a lot harder to find complete.

I sold a complete copy on an ebay auction for $21 shipped a couple months ago.

It's gotten really stupid pricing for Jaguar XJ220 on ebay lately. I remember only a year or so seeing CIB copies for around $20. Should have picked it up back then.

[Mr Nuts]

$20 sounds like a fair price to me , XJ220 was one of the best racers i played during the 16-bit era along with Lotus Challenge

I hated the game and had two copies. I gave one away with my broken model 1 Sega CD along with Sewer Shark.

The game is one of those in which finding it is harder than the actual value. It was the last game I bought to complete my US Sega CD set. The game speculation that happening on EBAY is getting out of control.

I feel like puching sellers on egay in the face by thinking every gaming item is OMG RARE
