Not to mention it was mentioned in the same topic that this version originally went for $20, and he wants $65 for it. He has to reduce it, now.

I will be the first to admit that I do not know the value or the rate that everything is going for. That is why I like forums, so that if something sounds too high, I can fix it, or if something is not worth anything, I'll know. A forum like this is full of gamers that will be honest. I appreciate that about this place.
$65 may sound on the high side, and I encourage anyone interested in this item to PM me and make an offer. I am pretty flexible when it comes to things like this.
Thanks for the responses!

Looking at completed listings, I see 25-30 being the norm for sealed copies.

"have sold for" and "are selling for" are not the same thing. Price fluctuates. As wiggy has pointed out, sealed copies arent going for that high right now.
Also Players Choice branding does reduce its price over non-Players Choice branding.

Are Selling For : $5.99 : Rare "Become Invisible" Spell Cast
Have Sold For : $0.00 ..... has never sold
Most people overprice things. I'm not interested in this lot. Seems like no one liked your $80 price either.

Is...is this for real? ebay allows people to sell 'spells' over the internet? I mean, it's hokey enough going into a room with some lady with a crystal ball and tea leaves and what not, but wtf? People send her $5.99, she says she casts a spell and takes their money? Holy shit am I in the wrong business! At least with a shoppe you have incense and dry ice and those freaky scented candles to pay for so you have some overhead, but what expenses beyond ebay fees do you have for an e-spell 'business' (I never thought I'd ever use a term like 'e-spell'...a sign of the times indeed)?
And over the last 12 months she's had 2832 positive feedback! Assuming $6 per transaction, that's $16,992 for doing fucking NOTHING! I seriously want to get to know this lady (and she's not exactly hard on the eyes, either ;D ) because as the saying goes, 'a fool and his money are soon parted' and she's clearly found the perfect way to do the parting.
I wonder how that works regarding refunds. "d00d wtf I bought this spell and I totally didn't turn invisible!! >:( " I wonder if there are people actually thinking their Johnson will magically grow from the 'penis enlargement' spell. Actually scratch that...my neighbour is a whack-job who thinks all this kind of stuff is real (and for some reason he got the impression that I could cast white magic and has literally called me up on the phone and asked me to cast spells for him...thankfully he's usually heavily medicated and/or in a facility so this doesn't happen often). Still...almost 3000 transactions in the last 12 months. Some people just should not be allowed to breed.
Anyway, sorry for the topic hijack. Back to sealed Zelda DS talk!
