This game is currently selling in the 20 to 30 Euros range ($25 to $40 USD),
depending on country and retailer, but I was fortunate enough
to snatch up a new & sealed retail copy of the game for the price
of 3.5 Euros ($4.5 USD).
How is this possible?
Because someone in Germany was selling the French version of the game
on Ebay.de, probably without realizing that the market for games
in French in Germany is severely limited, so nobody else bid on the auction
and I got the game for a steal.
I am in the fortunate situation that I speak five languages fluently,
including French, so it matters not that the game is not in English.

Lesson to learn: always check foreign Ebay sites for good deals.
Also, if you can get the game cheaper in another language
that you are maybe not fluent in, go for it and use the opportunity
to improve.
