there's a copy at a local retro game store in my area with a label that's torn in half and it's priced at 329.95 lol.
Our 2nd hand store Cashopolis is selling it for $249.99. They always seem to have 2 or 3 copies of the game. Which is insane but it has a complete intact label.

I love SCVIV. The music is beautiful, control of your whip is fluent. I'd kill to play a good Rom-Hack with re-designed levels but unforutnately I don't think people have cracked the games code and reverse engineered it. I'd love to see a rom hack of SCVIV.

Dracula X on the SNES is a hard game. I can at least say I beat the game back when I used to own it. But I hate the price on the game. Over recent years I've wanted to play it again on a legit platform.

But I can't now because I'd be paying Earthbound prices on it. And sadly, if you look on ebay, you can buy a repro cart of the "Evil Trevor" hack for wayyyy cheaper than you can an original copy and that is messed up! ]]> Why is Dracula X for SNES so expensive?

Super CV 4 smokes Dracula x by a long shot

Disagreed 100%. Super CV4 looks and sounds hideous, and it's full of dipshitted/boring design choices. Dracula XX is designed like a true classic Castlevania game, and beautifully so. Plus, subweapons besides the cross are actually good, and it has a real Dracula fight.  ]]> Why is Dracula X for SNES so expensive?

SI don't think demand has anything to do with this. I think a set group of ebay sellers drove the price up on this game because it is selling for nearly the same amount of money as Earthbound and more copies of Dracula X exist than Earthbound that is a given.

I don't doubt it. I think many games are in this situation where resellers have deliberately bought up all the readily available copies to 'corner the market' and inflate the price.

I'm a Castlevania fan and I'd pay $30 on the high side for it.
 


I think it was the collectors who deliberately drove up the price. That way if you wanted to be part of the cool club, you'd have to pay admission.

Gone through two copies of this game in my life. Probably 3. Not going to buy it for a fourth time because of the insane price hike. About five years ago it was only a 110 dollar game.

Dracula X was a highly promoted release when it frist came out in 1995. I remember seeing copies at Blockbuster and more than one as well!
