Did I get a good deal?

I have often noticed that Japanese Saturn games sell for vastly inflated prices on auction sites and import sites in the west. For example, I picked up a near mint Street fighter Zero 3 for around £18 on my last visit.

I recently got my partner to order me a bunch of Saturn shooting games:

gunbird
layer section
layer section 2
sengoku blade

and the total price was 4260 yen (just under £20). Is this a good deal? All will be complete (not sure about spine cards) and in near mint condition (as I have dealt with the company before)

Cheers for any input

Sounds good. Sengoku Blaede usually goes for that price alone.

If I could get 4 Japanese Shmups for what is approximately $40 USD Id be hootin' it up right now!

I just paid around $30 - $50 USD each for the SFC Parodius Da & Chatting Parodius on ebay. And lets not forget shipping. Thankfully it was a stateside seller who didnt get all wonky & add unreasonable fees to the cost of mailing.

4260 yen for those four games.

Good deal (except on Layer Section II because the Saturn port was crap).
