I'll admit, I didn't bother looking up the game... I found out there was a movie version of Moonwalker... that's what I wanted to see (lets just wait for the prices to come down, and/or we see a legal release of it on DVD/Blu-ray).

This price should be falling back to earth within a few months. These buyers are people who didn't care about Michael Jackson a week ago, after all. I can't imagine them continuing to care about him next year when this frenzy is over. As a side note, Moonwalker is a pretty interesting game in terms of its weirdness.

i own a small independetn video game store that has a modest collection of the older games

i purchased this game 2 days before his death for about $1 with case and instructions

the day after the death of MJ i decided to look at the value just to see what happened...

i ended up selling it on amazing for $250

not a bad day for me :)

Oh I should say, the same table sorting system and flash charts were purely coincidence :) JSToolbox table stuff was the only one I could find that wouldn't mess up row shading when sorted, and OFC was the only tabling system that both worked with the data and I could get working without a year's practice :)

You must be getting them via eBay's market reasearch "pay us more money for yet another simple service" thing? I'm cheap, I just cURL and parse a completed listing page :)

Anyway, I just put a (not-quite-finished but relatively-bug-free) public version of my UK price tracking site up - http://www.inaudible.co.uk/games/pc

I should appologise as it's pretty clearly got this place as a basis for layout. Unfortunately I'm not too imaginative that way so without at least a reference I spend weeks figuring out where to put everything, or what to fill in where. But I should get round to changing most of it eventually, just wanted to get something up finally after working on it for so long.

If you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them, most bugs I'm probably already aware of :)

Christopher - On ebay we actually monitor every sale, not just every day so we have a lot more price points. I had to manually add some more though because so many sales were listed and sold within 24 hours. We can't always catch those ones.

thesimplicity - I was trying to think of other celebrity endorsed games too. Revolution X was all I came up with so you had a good list. I don't know if any of those would have the same drastic increase with the celebrity's death but I'm sure there would be some increase.

hah, I had a feeling that was gonna happen. how were you sampling ebay data so regularly? i though you only updated daily...

Dang. I was going to get that game sometime, back when the price was resonable (ie before MJ's death) but now it looks like I can kiss that goodbye unless I find it at a thrift store.

Damn. I used to have so many copies of this and I...

2009-06-30T16:07:05.567-06:00

Damn. I used to have so many copies of this and I pawned them all off for almost nothing.

Interesting thought: are there any other non-sports celebrity endorsed games similar to this? Aerosmith's Revolution X, the 50 Cent games, and Kiss' Psycho Circus are the only ones I could think of.
