Title: Aces High Software for Sale on Ebay?
Post by: Hoplite on March 20, 2014, 10:36:38 AM: I was searching on eBay and noticed a listing that raised my overly bushy eyebrow.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACES-HIGH-Combat-Flight-Simulator-PC-Game-100-BRAND-NEW-/151205052257?pt=AU_PC_Video_Games_Games&hash=item233485ff61#ht_1801wt_1125 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACES-HIGH-Combat-Flight-Simulator-PC-Game-100-BRAND-NEW-/151205052257?pt=AU_PC_Video_Games_Games&hash=item233485ff61#ht_1801wt_1125)

There's a boxed version of Aces High? :huh Is this some guy downloading the game, burning it to DVD and selling it?

Apologies in advance if this has been covered before.

Maybe I'll buy one so I can show my grandkids what I wasted a significant portion of my life on for 9+ years. :D

I do not know what it sold for. It came with a coupon to get the equivalent amount of online time matching the cost of the box. No sheep.

I hope not. Sheep smell....much like English Pies.

How hard would it be to sell this type of product at Walmart and Gamestop. Maybe even BestBuy.

I know if I saw a box like that in the Pc gaming aisle I would pick it up for $20.00 since it is cheaper than a lot of FPS games.

Just a thought.

Another thought is to have a booth with these at a airshow. THunderbirds are going to be 2 hours from the house a tinker AFB on June 21&22

HTC is not a publisher.
