Castlevania OSTs do all the time, and same for Gradius and Contra (I've never seen an actual pre-PS2 Contra OST on eBay, however).

p.s. somebody sell me Dracula New Classic

All PlayStation stuff or later, and even those are approaching $50.

I'm talking about older OSTs.

champ_des_pins has a pretty good reputation among the game music community, mainly for having a nice selection and for CDs that actually are not bootlegs.

I don't see anything wrong with the shipping prices either. You've got SAL (very cheap), Airmail (cheap), and EMS (good enough).

Edit: Never mind, relatively old thread. Was linked here from elsewhere.

Adol (the seller here) is a well trusted and respected guy in the communities of collectors.
This DC collection is just one of his many collections.

His stuff ought to be taken seriously, although in this case I know (as he said so) he put it up (low admittance fee day on ebay) just to see what people were prepared to give.

And though the price MAY seem high, consider the fact that all games are sealed and perfect. Dividing the price with the # of games comes down to a bit above $30 a piece.
It may seem much now, but there are multiple games here fetching well over $100. They are collectable. Price is in US$ (a joke atm for ppl outside $countries). Trusted seller. And a complee collection in one buy (instead of YEARS searching auctions for the right game AND in sealed condition).

If I had the disposable money, I'd seriously consider buying.

Unfortunately I don't have it.

...now that just begs the question: Why would you have 606 sealed games?

FIL · Post by **FIL** » Sat May 10, 2008 11:52 pm

Wouldn't you just love to buy those and put a video up on youtube of you ripping open all the packaging so all the sealed game collectors could see it?

Yes. Yes I would. In fact it would be heaven itself.

Fenrir · Post by **Fenrir** » Sun May 11, 2008 10:45 am

If I had $20.000 I'd probably snatch it right this instant. DC is one of my fave systems ever.

Insane low price: full set of Ibara figures + soundtrack.

1 pence.

£35 postage, but still. £35.01 is pretty bargainous.

Yes, I was watching it. And yes, I did forget all about it until two hours after it'd finished.

That's pretty absurd stuff. Videogame Imports has it for roughly half the price.

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 2:08 am

Nothing to do with the price here, but this was just too silly to ignore, yet didn't quite deserve its own thread.

Anyways, someone thinks (or wants others to think) that this is an Odin Sphere promo item?

WE CANNOT LET THESE PHOTOS GO CHEAP. THEY ARE FAMILY JEWELS.

I am disgusted and bemused in equal measure. I can't even think of anything to say.
