Crazy things people sell on eBay: pre-release Chrono Rom

If you managed to get your hands on an extremely rare “pre-release” – by pre-release we mean demo samples given only to game distributors and journalists – Chrono Trigger ROM for the Super Famicom, would you sell it on eBay? Would you?

Apparently, eBay seller jqf69er (his eBay store is called SQUAREworx) will. He’s selling his for only US$ 274.95. Admit it, as much as you’d say, “No, I’d never sell it if I had it,” you’re very glad that people like jqf69er – people who are willing to sell gaming treasures – exist. Where else are you guys going to get your swag?

The guy is also selling a Final Fantasy VII Aerith chrome statue, a Cid Highwind Zippo Lighter, and an extremely rare Final Fantasy VI Tina chrome statue.

Here’s to hoping that a port of it will show up for the Virtual Console, or XBLA, or even the PS Store; that the Blue Dragon trio will let Square make a remake/sequel;and here’s to hoping that the trio will still be involved.

Yeah, we’re suffering from turn-based nostalgia.
