That's weird. That collection isn't worth anything near what the seller is asking for it either. Especially considering you'd only be getting three complete copies out of all those discs.

There is 6 complete copies of FF7, 8 of 8 and 3 of nine...

Exactly, only three copies of XI. There's something like 40+ incomplete games in that lot.

I'm actually missing 1 disc from 7, and 1 from 8 (brothers friend borrowed, might have returned but at least they are somewhere unknown places)
Too bad mine are PAL.

Is it water or just a reflection?
I wouldnt give this guy very much, If it was me i'd sell these as replacement discs for people that have lost one. Maybe get the really scratched up ones resurfaced.
A friend back in high school dropped one of his FF7 discs and it cracked. So I had to lone him mine till he got to the next disc.
After giving him a rash of shit about it.

anyone watch ebay auctions very often?
I am always hunting for SNES CIB collections to try to complete my raw scan collection and I can not believe what I see with these auctions. I just watched a guy sell his SNES collection today. So far, the guy has made over 1,000 euro with about 10 games (10 times what he would've paid retail.) I am stunned at some of the prices because the games themselves are stupid as far as i'm concerned. I like Spider-Man, for example, since my childhood. I collected Spider-Man items. I've played Separation Anxiety and I think it's a stupid game. I'd rather play Donkey Kong Country. But I've seen this CIB sell for 309euro today :o Doh! Damn Batman and Robin sold for over 200 euro and Spawn sold for over 200. Unbelievable. I know why I have no scans of these games.
I am beginning to realize that, unless someone will scan some of these boxes/manuals, i'll never get scans of these games. I am stunned. I watch these auctions and the prices jump by 20-50euro in the last seconds of the auction. Entertaining, yes, but disappointing too. I'd like to get some of these games to scan. son-of-a-batch. I guess that I better find a game buying job if I want to buy some of these snes games.
