I mean, it's NOT that rare a game. Lufia 2 is MUCH rarer and doesn't go for this much. The other clue is that there's always several dozen copies up on eBay. Nintendo put a lot of money into promoting this game and had plenty of copies on the shelves. Sure they didn't sell enough in their opinion, but there's plenty of copies to be had out there.
It seems like they're just abusing the fans at this point. I'm just glad I still have my copy.
I'll say this though. I want Nintendo to release the game on the VC now more than ever, if only to put a massive dent in this scam.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
