New copies of EarthBound are now worth thousands of dollars apparently, but did you know the game used to be $5.99 new at Best Buy? It sounds like in the late 90s many stores were trying to unload the game for super-cheap prices. Little did anyone know… Anyway, in some recent comments, EarthBound Central reader west_haven posted this: I work at Best Buy and I’ve been meaning to look in our...Read More »

pk_stan, an avid EarthBound/MOTHER collector, sent this in the other day: Hi Mato! I just received this in the mail today. It’s a Mother 3+ Piano book that has sheet music for 7 different Mother 3 tracks. Up until when I ordered this a few days ago, I didn’t even know such a thing existed. It seems to be a very new release, with a release date of September 2011! It’s weird se...Read More »

I’ve noticed EarthBound prices getting really crazy over the holidays – people were trying to sell complete sets for over $1000! The craziness is slowly starting to subside, but not entirely, as there are still many prices $700 and higher. I’ve noticed that EarthBound prices get especially high over each holiday season and then slowly drop afterward – although never fully g...Read More »

A few weeks ago a rare EarthBound poster hit eBay and it sold for a whopping $1225. It was bought by a fellow named CB, who even posted in the comments on this site shortly after. It sounded like the poster was going to be a part of a big EarthBound display on CB’s wall – and now we have a shot of it! Behold! The rarity and price of this collection brings onions to my eyes~ If you don...Read More »

A few weeks ago LucasTizma was telling me about some vector graphics he was working on for some sort of MOTHER-related project. I just recently found out what it was: For Christmas, I had some custom MOTHER items hand crafted for me. I got a sweet messenger bag, a MacBook Air sleeve, and an iPad sleeve. I think it turned out really well! The guy did a great job with the embroidery. Anyway, just wa...Read More »

Michael sent this in the other day: By accident, I clicked on an EB ad that took me to amazon. I saw that there was a new copy of Earthbound for sale and is currently going for $1000. The description is correct that the game was never shrink-wrapped or sealed when it was sold. New copies of EarthBound have sold for that much in the past, so it’s not TOO surprising that it has such a high pr...Read More »

A long while ago I remember seeing a strange MOTHER 2 VHS tape on a Japanese auction site. I guess I completely forgot about it until now, because now it’s showed up on eBay! MOTHER 2 In-Store Promo VHS Tape – selling for $233 Apparently this video was played in Japanese game stores to promote MOTHER 2 way back in 1994 or so. I’ve never seen what’s on the video, hopefu...Read More »

The Great Morgil sent this in a little while back: About two years ago i bought an Ocarina of Time replica from the company Songbird Ocarinas. If you haven’t heard of them, they’re the ones who’ve been advertising in Nintendo Power for the last decade. Anyway, ever since i bought from them, i occasionally get emails about new products and stuff. I just got an email from them abou...Read More »
