Most money you've ever made selling a game?

Back in 2001, I happened upon a CIB copy of Earthbound for $15 at a comics store. Obviously, I snatched it up before my friend saw it.
For years, it sat on my gaming shelf. Finally, two years ago, I was planning a trip to Maui and I really wanted to go hang gliding on the road to Hana. Since it was a family trip with my now-ex wife and stepsons, I didn't think it would be right to dip into our trip fund for something that only I would do.....so I went to eBay. I knew that Earthbound was highly sought after, but I was not expecting what I found! My copy wasn't entirely mint, but it WAS in good condition. I ultimately parted ways with it for $300, $285 more than I paid for it! Two years later, I downloaded it for $10!
What's say you?
