I think it's been stated at Assembler that it's overpriced by at least 50,000 yen (and that's buying in singles).

Can someone please tell me why Cave's logo on Delisoba Deluxe? I knew it was a scarce game, but Cave is in on it too? Geez...

Not insane but maybe there's a good game in there or two.
Nah, judging from the titles with a legible font, it looks like a pile of mediocrity.

OK, I'm editing this thread's title to include auctions other than ebay, too.

Yeah, looks like only cheap/crap stuff. Considering how expensive shipping is going to be it's probably not even worth the starting bid.

Zanac for the MSX

Went for $293 before shipping and it's not complete. I thought the EX version was more sought after.

What in the f***ing f***? Not even brand new these items would reach this price. (500 at the most) http://cgi.ebay.com/PSP-System-8-Games- ... dZViewItem

Don't have links handy, but I saw Dracula for X68000 go for ~$960

Then mine went for $146 the week later.

Probably my fault for not milking the crazed bidder enough. Didn't want to get stuck with a huge fee for the listing, though, and it almost covered my purchase of Nemesis '90 Kai so...it was a wash

Still, the indignity...of it all...

My copy of Hyper Duel went over 200 dollars. Never seen it go that high before. A month earlier, I paid around 145 for it.

It's long-gone, but I saw an auction for a PS3 with a bid of $21,000,000.50 while it was still new. I doubt it was a serious bid, but still funny.

Indeed :roll:
Collectors will stop at nothing to have this RARE game in their complete NES collections. From a game playing stand point all it be is the original version of what Nintendo repackaged as 'World Class Track Meet'.

I recall one of our fellow members here having this game? I am sure he would have like to got 1k for it :wink:

Yeah, I read up on it. Pretty insane that a loose cart is going for that much. Interesting also that so many people seem to know about this game.

Not insanely priced at all. But just read the descriptions.

Guess they didn't notice the little letters that say that the system does NOT read discs. It's not outrageous, but I'll be damned if I paid over 100 bucks for a broken PSP.

The owner of this mass has to be about 300 years old if he really engaged himself with every single game.
Alone this sending needs a very big ship/plane I guess.

Wouldn't it be better to break the lot apart? (The Neo Geo MVS was VERY popular in Mexico, and carts can be had for cents on the peso. Yes, on the peso.)

These are the weirdest auctions ever. Thinking about this creeps me out. What's going on here? Is this some arcade supplier for the entire South Americas? Who will buy 500 copies of KOF '95. Who would buy 2 copies of KOF '95 for that matter. Is this guy mad? somebody enlighten me. I'd love to hear the background of this, but I wouldn't dare make contact with him. Like I said it creeps me out.
I'm gonna double lock my door now...........
I heard that if you look at his auctions for more than 4 minutes and you don't buy it, he will come.

No weird price here, but I had to post it just for the sake of the subtitle under the auction name.

Must be unlockables.

Haha... yeah, his other items are porn. He just forgot to change the subtitle. Time for a little abuse...

Asked this:
How do I unlock the 28 Girls, 24 Scenes, 4 DVDs and over 6 Hours of Footage. I assume these are not on the Dreamcast version?
