Cruzway Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Lets say there is no more copies available , every copy its being sold out , except for one copy that goes for Auction , thats the only copy that you will able to get .... (No Steam Available) How much wold you pay for it ? Ive been thinking about this , considering i purchased a new laptop with the only purpose to play FM and i do know some other people whos purchased whole new pcs to play this game also... My question is ? How much is this game worth to you? I have been thinking and i think I would pay a good 400/500 US dollars. The hours of entertainment + Fun + Money saved from other things Anyone?

Wouldn't say its kudos with SI they are looking for, more to try to "show off" i reckon........... to an internet forum hehe £40 for a console game (however i always try and get pre-owned ones, more for your money etc etc) £20 - £30 for a PC game Thats my rule of thumb anyway.

I wouldn't pay £80 for no game man, are you for real lol? Why not just wait a few months when you can get it for less than half the price if that was the case?

I personally done like getting ripped off so if it was ever £80 i would, sadly, do without. Little story, when GTA4 came out, and then sold out, some guy on eBay was selling a copy for £80. I contacted him to tell him he was having a laugh and he replied saying if people want it they will pay it. It sold in the end for £80 quid. Moral, a fool and his money are easily parted.

Herter Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Impossible to answer accurately.. have to be in the situation before I can say where my limit is.. A rough estimate is probably £50-£100..

grade Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well it would highly depend on what the game would be like in the demo. if it sucked like FM08 and FM09 I would possibly give only 5 euros to none at all. If I like, No more then 35 euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkim Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I wouldn't pay any more than the retail price for it. The game is great, entertaining and addicting. With that said, never would I pay a price in the range that some people are quoting. I'd simply wait for the next installment and make sure to get a copy earlier. I'm guessing the people that are quoting extremely high prices are dependent on their parents or don't work for their money? I can't imagine one would blow several hundred dollars on a game, no matter how great it is. Then again, that's just me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal postie Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 To buy an item that is considered rare or out of print, I wouldn't pay that much more than the normal shop price . I wouldn't pay more than £40 in this instance for fm. If it was the same situation for amusic cd then I wouldn't pay more than £20. So I guess somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 extra of the rrp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I think FM is one of those games that if you have it, yes you'll play it a lot and enjoy it, but if you don't have it you won't exactly miss it which I think would stop me from bidding daftly on the last copy.

Like the questions says ; Its hypothetically , I have spent 1500 dollars in a new computer with the only purpose of running the game smoothly , why not paying more than 40 pounds for the game.

Hey chill out man, just because you would "hypothetically" pay over the odds, it doesnt mean everybody "hypothetically" would. I can also assure you that a) hundreds of people is not a drop in the ocean when it comes to sales figures for FM and b) if so many people were willing to pay over the top for the game, then SI (or any other company) would reflect this in their prices and charge more. Something is only worth what its bought for. The kudos to SI part was in reply to a post directly above where i said that, i even quoted it from there! The showing off part i meant as people being able to show off financially and be able to "hypothetically" spash 10's/100's of £/$ whereas others cant. Does that clarify it for you?

mrdanbartlett Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Depends on your personal value of money, i.e one mans £1000 is another mans £10. Personally I'd not want to play more than £30-40, I utterly love the game but I hate being ripped off or paying top money for anything. Managed to get FM09 on pre order last year for £18 I think, bargain and was happy to pay that. Would not pay more than £25 for FM10 comes out if its freely and easily available. Like others say, depends what someone is willing to pay, if it was selling for £250 and people paid it then hey so be it - supply and demand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
