With Papy finished, I suspect that N2003 is going to go the same route F1C
is going once the supply starts running low.
You'll see copies going for big bux on ebay and scarce, if not obsolete,
everywhere else.
I say grab 'em while ya can!

I was thinking the same thing as that other person who said you were the one
hording them all. You are not preserving anything. Are you selling them for
$8.99 a piece? No, you're not. You basically went out and took the rest of
whatever as left took them off the market. Because of your greed you made it
basically priced the items way out of anyone's price range. Thanks, Tiny.
You're a real pal...not!

Believe me, my life won't change because I don't have the sim and I'm
certainly not buying it for the high price you'll probably be selling it
for. It'll be interesting to hear if you get the $41 extra you're looking
for. Then again, you'll probably tack on $20 for shipping if you're selling
it on Ebay. ;-)
If I see the sim at a store for $20 or lower, then I'll get it. If not, oh
well. Such is life.
Have a good one!

I don't think he should plan on retiring on his F1C sales, alone,
though. Because if you've played EA games for a while, you now that
they invariably re-issue their old games in a "shovelware" form, after
they pull the boxed ones off the shelf.
They did that with SCGT, F1 2000, F1 2001, and F1 2002. I bought SCGT
as "shovelware" at Wal-Mart. It even came with NASCAR Road Racing
attached (pweee! what a stinker!) But I bought F1 2001 and F1 2002 in
the retail boxes and still have them, too!
Anyway it's only a matter of time before EA does the same with F1C.
Then anybody who missed it in the box for $9.99 will be able to buy it
in a jewel-case with the manual in PDF form on the CD...for $9.99 or
so.
When that happens, Tiny's hoarded F1C games will be worth less than
what he paid for them, when shipping is included.
As you know, sometimes prices are higher than they should be, due to
artifical demand, but they eventually right themselves again!
