iainso Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I guess it can only be supply and demand, maybe since Steam, the production of the boxed version has been stopped and all the 'new' ones have sold out? Great to see I'll be able to sell mine for more than I paid for it though! Iain AMD Ryzen 5 3600X AMD RADEON RX 5700XT
ScatterbrainKid Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 A lot of people like buying games and sims on disk instead of by download because a disk is forever..;)
dstarda Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Saw a boxed set of FSX selling on eBay for $300 (!!!?). Crazy supply and demand. Reminds me of when Apple quits selling a version of it's old OS a few months after the new OS came...price of the old OS goes thru the roof. No longer available so now I gotta have it ;-)
zswobbie1 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Have a look at http://www.kalahari.com/Games/Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-X-Gold-Edition_p_34589825 Kalahari is the largest on-line store here is South Africa, so you will be able to get FSX Gold for about £8 or $12 & about 4 days shipping!

iainso Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 I'm sorely tempted to buy all those $13 FSXs, and sell them here in the UK on ebay :o With that kind of margin I could buy a full motion flight sim! Iain AMD Ryzen 5 3600X AMD RADEON RX 5700XT
Mark Hurst Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 s/selling/offered/ Can't imagine anyone actually buying it at that price! MarkH
iainso Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Search ebay for 'FSX Gold', then click 'sold items' and 'buy it now' on the left. I see one sold last week for £65. Another one for £90 a few weeks before. There are many people who don't shop around, and only look for 'buy it now's on ebay. Iain AMD Ryzen 5 3600X AMD RADEON RX 5700XT

Pleanty stock available Good tip. I ordered one yesterday for USD$12.05 (R142) and international shipping is a flat USD$16.89 (R199). I think a total price of USD$28.94 is a great deal and it's delivered to my door.
