Did I overpay?

I have been wanting Final Fantasy III for the SNES for awhile.  I finally found a copy and I got it for 35 bucks complete.  Is that a fair price?  I kinda feel like I overpaid but I have been wanting to play this game for awhile, it looks awesome.

I don't think you overpaid, but I only say that because the only times I've seen the game complete, it was at resellers in local flea markets selling it for 90$ (and that was with a beat-up box). I bought it cartridge-only for about 24$, so 35$ doesn't sound so bad to me for a complete copy.

I would have no problem paying $35 for a complete FFIII. Seems like a good find to me!

Yeah, they go for more complete. You didn't overpay.

$35 for FF3 CiB is a phenomenal price. Not only did you not overpay, that was a steal. People's asking price online is like $200.

Yeah it happens. You really gotta catch the deals when no one is looking.

 

I remember I got a killer deal on two of the GBA Castlevania games back when they were getting pretty hot. It was like $18 or so for both, all complete.

Not crazy to me. Like Chrono said you really gotta look for the auctions that nobody has looked at and let it go down to the wire before you bid. I've gotten Mike Tyson's Punch Out for $4 and Megaman 3 for $5, and a factory sealed GB Printer for $8 before.

Wow that's a great price for a great game!

I wouldn't feel bad to pay that for cartridge only.

Is the battery still working? Mine doesn't keep saves anymore, I'll have to do a open-heart surgery some day…

Have fun!
