WTH Amazon!

Why is a used copy of ff7 $80 on amazon.com?

I got mine for like $20 three years ago. Did people freak out when AC and CC and DC all came out?

also is there anywhere else you could buy a cheap ff7? ff8 is still pretty cheap on amazon and I think ff9 was too.

I got mine for just fifteen bucks a couple of years ago at EB games...AC didn't come out too much later

I think I just got extremely lucky, though xD

I think with the popularity of all the new stuff, people got nostalgic and drove the price up. Then again, how many old RPG's don't sell for crazy prices. I saw a Chrono Trigger for SNES going for $60 at a video game trading place. 49.99 for a Shining Force 2 copy. It's nuts.

I got my FF7 from a friend. He bought two copies for some reason and said I could have it. Got a strategy guide too.

Your best bet would probably be somewhere offline really. If it's that expensive online, it might simply be easier to check a second hand game shop. I think I've seen a copy around here for about £10-ish. You checked eBay?

I got my FFVII for about £20 when they released the platinum version of it.

FFIX in the UK is 50-60 GBP so don't complain.

I went to a Funcoland in New York once on vacation looking for Tactics. They told me they only have one copy left, a used one which was running like 80 bucks. I was 12, laughed at them, walked away. Week later bought the greatest hits at a Video Games Express for 20 bucks.

My first disc of VII cracked somehow last year, which was weird since I try to take good care of my games. I asked for another copy for my birthday so I could play it again. My dad had to drive 3 hours away to pick up the only used copy in a god only knows how big of a radius. It came to be about $60, and with gas I'm not sure if it was better than getting it online for like $80, but meh. From what I've seen, a decently priced copy of FFVII is damn hard to find.

I'm glad I bought mine early and that they're still in excellent condition.
