Interesting Ebay Listing

I was just having a look at Ebay listings for the PAL version of SBK2. This never made it to Europe for some reason; it only had a short production run in Australia. Being from the UK myself, I had to get my copy imported from Australia and I recall it setting me back about Â£60.

I've had a look at many listings over the years, and the cartridge alone usually sells for somewhere between Â£60-80 (about $90-130). However, someone recently put up a listing for mint condition boxed version, and well... see for yourselves:

I've never seen a game sell for so much, boxed or not!

I remember when I was perusing a local used game store, I mentioned I had a few copies of Snowboard Kids on me for the N64, the clerk's eyes actually widened because he heard the games are actually rather valuable these days if you can find them in pristine condition. Even if you can't, the game still sells pretty well because it's not an easy title to find.

It's become a sort of sleeper title in the N64 library, one that people remember fondly, but have trouble finding.

SBK2 in particular is extremely rare these days. Whenever I see a copy at my local Gametraders it usually goes for around the $70 price range, and that's just for the cartridge. I've seen more copies of SBK1 for a lot cheaper, so I guess it's more common.
