Cheap Rakugaki Showtime
I know the seller - no problems in any of my dealings with them, and they've helped me out multiple times getting hold of stuff. Decent people.
Seller via IM wrote:Hey, I treat my games with kid gloves and kid blankies. Really, that blankie is as soft as they come, even moreso than disc wipes. I do not "drag" the disc around, I gently place it down and gently lift it up. I'm freakin' ANAL about these things, people. My 15 mo. old son is allowed NOWHERE NEAR my game collection, its behind a closed office door 24/7.

Hi all. Finally got my confirmation email 
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I will ship outside the US, we can arrange the additional payment (it will be equal to what the post office charges, I will even give you a link to the page of costs plus change to round out to an even dollar amount to probably not even cover the cost of the mailer I use but hey...).
Just for the record: my music cd library is >400 discs in size. That may be a paltry sum for some but I've had most of those > 10 years, some closer to 20 years. As far as I can remember there are only two scratches on the discs in my collection (that I'm responsible for, like the Rakugaki Showtime some were purchased used). Both of those scratches are complete freak accidents.
Edit My gaming library is somewhat vast by some people's standards. Less so since I've started selling and trading stuff off. I plan on selling a nearly all it but NOT Shooters, sRPGs or Strategy games (sorry). Many of the things I have for sale are usually super hard to find but not what I'd consider super-valuable. What does often make them special is (for the most part) their completeness (i.e. reg, spine, advert lit, etc...all usually mint). Everything content-wise is as-purchased however in a few instances the cases were chipped, cracked, scratched or whatever. I've moved 10 times since I started the collection >_< and as careful as I am with (at one point) over 1000 jewel-case ensconsed games some get bumped.
As an aside, Rakugaki is in about as crappy shape as a game that I'd want to sell on ebay. Just so you know my standards. I had to settle for that copy years ago simply because of affordability.
I'll get a list together soon of what I'm selling and give y'all a pre-view.
My wife makes fun of me because of how I treat media.
I used the baby blanket for photo purposes on purpose It's the softest blankie I could find in the house and my son hasn't used them in months. They've been laundered and have no particles that could scratch the disc (I checked and re-checked).
I went to my office to pull the disc out again (the picture was taken some time ago and I was working of memory and knowing that I generally only buy mint discs) and looked at it in good sunlight (we've had some hot ones here lately). There are two very faint 2cm scratches on the disc that I don't remember seeing before but alas, I could only see them in the reflection of light and not through a cursory surface examination. I have revised my auction to say as much. Suffice to say that I've played through the game start to finish with all the characters and it's worked flawlessly.
Let me end this by saying if there is ANYTHING you want to know about JPSX games just ask. I'm big on SRPGs and Strategy games, cursory knowledge about nearly everything else. My site had its heydey during the Sat, PSX, and DC era. I was one of the only guys with a JPSX so that machine was sort of my dept by default.
Oh, and when I refer to my "office" I don't want you to think I ever actually see it. I swear the first time I went into it in three weeks was to retrieve Rakugaki. I unpacked all my stuff when we moved into this place and just simply have not had the time or the ability. My son wants to explore everything and in that room all he'd hear would be a constant barrage of "no, no, not that...".
Anyway, I wish you all the best. I don't have much time so wrote this really fast, I apologize for grammar/typo foibles but hey...there are more important things. Cheers.
