Over $200.
over 9000!
I got my copy there for about €20, if I recall correctly. Maybe less.
Unless this thread is about showing the highest price you can find for the game, in which case feel free to ignore this post
Over $10,000!
Crap, shame I never played these games when I had the chance, guess now I have to wait for more special editions to come out(come on Lechucks Revenge or curse se)
GMan,
I'm not sure if you are actually looking to buy Curse, or if you're merely curious to know how much people are trying to sell it for.
If the latter is true, then Amen, because Curse is an awesome game. However, if you really are looking to buy it, I found a NEW copy of Curse being sold at Overstock.com for $26.

God bless Google. I found it when I did a google shopping search for "Curse of Monkey Island" (add the quotes to search for the phrase, not the individual words)

Oh, and make sure to use ScummVM when installing/running the game. Doing so not only guarantees compatibility, but also runs the game such that you don't need the CD's inserted.
read the scummvm wiki for instructions: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/The_Curse_of_Monkey_Island
glad i got my copy as a gift around 10 years ago.:)
You don't necessarily have to wait for a special edition, you can find copies on ebay for $20-40.
That seems about right for a game about that age. And there are plenty of others around that price range. Also wow, epic necro.
But I've already got my copy of Curse off eBay, so I don't really care
I still don't like stock photos though. "Condition: Excellent" doesn't say too much, I'd rather see the state for myself.
Also, what does the seller mean with "Complete with artwork"? That the manual is included, or was there some sort of art book included?
I bought The Neverhood at a computer fair in the UK for 50p knowing how rare it was and trying not to let the seller know! He had a stack of about 10 copies, just the disk in the jewel case with instructions. Looks like they were originally planned to be bundled with new PC systems or something. Perfect condition, only thing missing was the big box.
Anyway, I recently interviewed Doug TenNapel (the game's designer) on my site AMO and it is a shame that he worked so hard on the game and it was a relative flop. Having said that it managed to get two sequels on PS1 I think!

It says that $10 copy is ONLY the user journal book. It does not include the disc.
