Cant remeber most expensive.... but recently in last 6 months... bought SNES -- Rudra no Hihou CIB for $105 and SNES - Hameln no Violin Hiki CIB $128 both in great condition. I recommend looking into both does JRPGs from Japan if you guys dont have either. Also since you guys loved Earthbound. Look for "G.O.D. (Growth or Devolution)" for SNES from Japan, VERY rare game. I picked my copy for $80 loose... couldnt find CIB...

At long last, it’s finally here. Congrats Dan & Elisa. I’m so happy for you two for finally obtaining Earthbound CiB. In terms of the Most Expensive Game I’ve ever bought: I bought Demon’s Crest Complete in Box (CiB) for $250 off eBay back in 2020. It was a lot of money at the time but I really wanted it and I saved up for it. Also I still have it to this day. Either way Great Episode as always JRPGLife.

Awesome, you were finally able to make your copy complete. I never thought I owned a cib or even got a loose copy of earthbound, so I bought it on super famicom. Person one day was selling old consoles and some games. I overheard him saying I got earthbound cib. He was carrying the stuff in a few items at a time so after the second time he came in and again saying oh yeah I got earthbound cib I left the store and waited for him to and asked how much figuring he want a lot for it and he happened to be carrying it that time. He said $20. Told him what it was worth, and I would be happy to pay a bit for it. Couldn't get him to accept more than $50. The only time I ever did that. I know joke with my friends it my $50 mouse pad🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
