Some guy is asking $150 for a CIB NES Zelda. http://cgi.ebay.com/Legend-of-Zel...
 This is really only worth $20 or $30 at most, right?  Does any want to do a Purple Ganon 2.0? The seller doesn't seem to know alot about games, most of his other items are womens' leather clothing. The topic of leather could make for some funny conversation regarding picture requests.

Is it just me, or does that box look like a repro?

I compared it to the scanned box on NA; it looks the same to me. It could be legit, but I'm not 100% sure. The only things I'm sure of are that the manual looks like absolute hell and $150 is the douchebag price.

You are telling me. I thought this last holiday sale was an amazing start for me to really get into collecting. I got everything under value and have actually gotten some amazing things for much lower than value when you add everything up. It was quite amazing actually. Games that normally have 2 or 3 cib copies up for auction at a time had like 30 and I probably should have bought more(I bought alot), but I stopped myself. Now it will cost me a descent amount more for alot of SNES games I have been after.
