Yeah, I love having to track down stupidly expensive PAL format NES/SNES games like the Mega Man series.
I can hardly wait until people on eBay start selling shit like the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man for upwards of $100 or even $1000 for its "nostalgia" value (bonus points if it was dug up from the landfill site), however you need only look at the dickheads trying to pass off their "graded" sealed games for tens of thousands... You can apparently buy a second hand Mercedes-Benz for less than a sealed, graded copy of Super Mario Kart.
