Does this game Fluctuate in price?
Snatcher has been a game I've always wanted to add to my collection. For many years, I've passed on the chance to actually own it. So, recently I got this wild hair up my crack and decided now is the time. Question is, does this game regularly fluctuate in price? I could remember this game netting some where around 100-150 complete. Now, I jump on ebay and see that it is going near the 300 range. $150 I could do no problem, but at $300....I'm sitting back and waiting and seeing if the prices quiet down.

Re: Does this game Fluctuate in price?
It's pretty constant as far as I know. It usually just depends on the seller and the condition of the game, like including the case, manuals, and whatnot. I've only seen it go for anywhere around $100~$300 for a used copy in varying condition. I once saw one go for $500 sealed.

It definitely isn't going to be any cheaper, so if you see it for 100-150, grab it. 300 yeah, it would still be worth it for me - although i'm happy that i bought it on its release for 45 or so. Should have bought more, though.

Re: Does this game Fluctuate in price?
For some reason within the last couple of months the price has skyrocketed. I'd seen quite a few less than $200 but now they're all well in excess of $300. I sold one not too long ago without the manual for $130. Prices for all these old games are getting ridiculous. Snatcher and Metal Gear for the MSX hover around $300 as well. I want to get them all but they are so pricey.
Re: Does this game Fluctuate in price?
I guess finding and buying retro games has been all the rage lately. Seems more like a sellers market. I wish I didn't wait around so long to get a copy. I kept holding out hope I would find it out in the wild.
