I have a terrible story about that game..about 4 years ago when I was first getting into collecting (I was 11 or 12 at the time) my mom bought me a Super Nintendo with a bundle of games off one of those Facebook swaps for like $20, and I was just excited because it came with Super Mario World. I didn't realize at the time it came with Demon's Crest and that is was worth something. So fast forward to a few months ago, I'm going through my old eBay sales and realize I sold Demon's Crest for $10 BIN on eBay way back then :'(. I was a little sick to my stomach lol.

When I read that "about 4 years ago...I was 11 or 12" I was a little sick to my stomach, too. ;) Especially when 11 or 12 years ago I was still in college.
Either way, that's rough. I have a similar situation with Earthbound from the year 2001. Traded a sealed in box copy (the big box with the strategy guide) for a used Chrono Trigger and Mega Man X

Oooh that's brutal. At least I can blame it on being young and naive ;)
Megatron:
Well, to be fair, Earthbound wasn't that big yet. No one had any idea how cotly that game would be, and here were two games from Square and Capcom - at the time it was a good trade. a few years later...well, it's like the stock market - hard to predict what games will spike or plummet.

I got this plus a "broken" NES with one controller, a stack of Nintendo Powers and some random other crap for 70 bucks. I almost crapped my pants in joy! ;D ;D ;D

Wow! Really nice pickup! So much RPG goodies! you got some of the best RPG of all time in that lot (in my eyes) Lufia 2, FF2, Chrono Trigger and Earthbound!
It's official, I'm really jealous!! hehe

Thanks!!! someone had some pretty good taste in games. I wanted them all luckily, even the stack crappy games for parts.
