The pawn shop where I work at.

It was really quite amazing, and my heart stopped when I saw Final Fantasy III in that condition. I would've paid $60 just for that game alone. ;)

Good for you man. Nothing like the feeling of seeing original boxes. It is nostalgic to a T, but a good feeling nonetheless. Zombies!!! Great game. The only downside to this post for me was reminders of losing my whole N64 collection in a flood, last summer--which included a very near mint condition Gold Ocarina cart/box(sliced the plastic wrap only where I needed too).

While I AM a reseller, I am a collector first. I just sell extra copies of games that I already have, it helps pay off the collection.

ya i kind of wiped my local pawn clean basically , i bought nearly every snes game i have from them , - i was gonna get smrpg but i got it on wii ,

so isaw no point in paying 15 for it,

so ya thats definatelly a sweet deal but for rpg fans of course, me i wouldnt have paid 60 for that as the only good games i saw were mariokart smw dkc 2 zombies ate my nieghbors ,but of course they were boxed so maybe 55 $ but ya good deal ,

if i ever found a lot that had the following 8 games id be happy as heck paying 60

1-topgear 3000

2 sparkster

3 mariorpg

4 zelda 3

5 pac attack

6 ren and stimpy the videiots

7 micro machines

8 super mario is missing ,

ya id be very happy , cause then id be done finding the games i once had then i can work on finding other titles like those above just for sake of owning it i wanna reach 200 , and im close to doing so at 156 large

Yes it does. FFIII doesn't even have any recorded save states. I doubt it's never been played before (that would be too awesome), but the cartridge itself looks untouched. Even the connector pins have no oxidation whatsoever.

All the games work. :)

luckiest find I've ever had was walking into a GameStop up herenear Toronto, andscooping upa brand new sealed copy of "Legend of Mana" for $4.99 in a clearance bin years after the PSone stuff had died. (I promptly sold it for over $150 on ebay)

....but NEVER have I come across such a score as you have there sir! Good on you, I'm a tadjealous, but will share in your excitement.

NIIIICE! It would be tempting to keep them but I would most likely Ebay all those for super profit since I have the cartridges already for most of those.

Unless you're really into collecting I would not say no load times on snes are worth the extra price.

Though if you have/ever get a wii the snes version is on it for $8.

I'm not a big collector, but I would rather play it on SNES. I just like playing it on the original console.

That's a great find mate. I just think it's kind of strange that someone who kept the boxes, manuals and those particular games in that good of shape would sell it all at a pawn shop for only $60. Regardless, enjoy it by playing them! Cheers!

Very very jealous. FFIII, Mario RPG and Chrono trigger... with original boxes... If sold on Ebay you're collection is easily worth over $300 right there. I would keep them though. I sold Chrono trigger and Earthbound on Ebay for a tidy sum... but now regret it. :(
