Looking at F17's list compared to my far less authoritative ist it makes me realise why all those DC sticks locked down in the UK market aren't leaving the country!
If a game is £20 here it's about $20 there, when in reality these days the $ so bad you can get nearly $2 to £1. I've got to start importing the rest from over in the States. That said, I've still seen eBay prices push on the ones I listed.
Love the 'stickied' response (or lack of one) to the sarcasm. But you're right; even so it is a good list.

The point of the list mate is for a good (and quick) price guide of the Saturn shmups to people who are new to Saturn shmups. Getting ripped is not a good feeling. A copy of Hyper Duel with no spine card went near $200 a few weeks ago on eBay. Now that was too high for a copy of Hyper Duel since a copy goes for $100-$150ish in Japan.iatneH wrote:Perhaps if I posted some of the subcategories of "and more", the sarcasm would be more apparent.
Though that list is pretty decent. Not really my interest any more though since I'm done with buying Saturn stuff and just about done with selling too.
Once again mate you got lucky with free games, but those prices are shit in England.spadgy wrote:Looking at F17's list compared to my far less authoritative ist it makes me realise why all those DC sticks locked down in the UK market aren't leaving the country!

The problem is that people actually buy them for that price. Those prices are not the going rate in Japan. Importing is encourage.

Sadly for us UK shmuppers you're dead right. But I don't think it's that shop. It's this bloody country!Fighter17 wrote:The point of the list mate is for a good (and quick) price guide of the Saturn shmups to people who are new to Saturn shmups.
