Man, these things have been popping up more within the last year.
Magical Chase (Hu-Card and Manual)

Seller asking for $460 or best offer.
Rather pricy for basically a loose hucard + instructions stuffed into a 'spare' case.
This guy was obviously a collector, and is now unloading his entire Turbografx collection. I grabbed a few games from him that I am still waiting to arrive. That price is definitely steep. I wonder if someone is going to use that buy it now!
Dude, I should NOT have clicked on "See Seller's Other Auctions" because it's mostly stuff I want, in the condition I want, at very reasonable prices. And I'm broke right now! AAAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!

Yeah, I have my eye on a few items. A little out of my price range for now, but he would accept best offer. So, if no one BIN it by the end of the month, maybe I'll give him my offer and see how it goes.
The last Magical Chase that I saw on ebay ended around that price. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same buyer who is now selling it.
I wonder if that is MurderDate, selling his stuff. Looking at his bought/sold history it looks like his stuff. A shame-- means he's getting out of Turbo gaming. If it is though, that Magical Chase is in primo condition. I sold it to him.

I always hate hearing about people selling off their Turbo collections. :(

No, that buyer was me :) I am keeping mine however.
I originally paid $429, but there was an issue with the manual (sticker residue) and the seller took $40 off the price. Then, someone offered $60 for that manual. So, I scored for $329...not too bad. Just the hucard, but my entire collection is loose anyway so what the hell.
It's over.
The game was sold at $460, shocking how it was also a best offer. Well, that dashes any hope I had in finding a good price for it on Ebay now that every buyer and seller will resort to it as the "norm". *sigh* :(

Ah, I wouldn't be so quick to put up your white flag. There will be other deals to be had. Just keep your eye out. BE STRONG!! BE VIGILANTE!! :mrgreen:

Someone will sell it for less eventually. Ebay is an excellent source, but you are probably right about the "standard" in pricing that happens when a game continually sells for the same (or near same) amount. Joe over at DP sold a loose one for $200 this past June, and I unfortunately missed it. I had to resort to the high price on ebay myself, but I just had to considering how LONG I waited to get even just a hucard (years). Again, hang in there, you'll find one one day!

They sure will, have no fear.
This particular copy that just went for $460 was sold to the seller, by me, for $165 for the card & manual in mint condition.

That's crazy. I would have taken that in a heartbeat. I take it that this seller was a previous collector? I purchased some of his games, and they came in great. Sure helped on nearly completing my set (4 to go!)

what???... that was yours man??... you were looking for that game for awhile nat, why did ya sell? if you don't mind me asking.
That would bug me some, selling to a fellow collector a rare game like that for a gooood price and then later it goes to ebay...
sure it happens but i would not like it.
:cry:

I got another copy, one that was complete with box and everything, so I sold the duplicate for the same price I had originally bought it for. I still have the complete copy.
well hells nat... then congratulations is in order on getting a complete one, and for being a hell of a guy to sell your spare for what you payed for it...you sir will be going to heaven!!!! 8)
Here's a fun thought.
It is LOT cheaper to buy a flash cart, put the Magical Chase rom onto it, saw off the gba-style connector on the end and paint it to look like the original hucard.

Well that's a swift kick in the pills. You should ask him to send you $150 for your share of the profits. ](*,)

Why bother buying a flash cart when you could just play the rom on a pirated version of Magic Engine. :roll:

What do you make of that? Seller had two? Buyer backed out? (although I cannot see how since it was immediate payment required previously). Odd.
He didn't have two. That's still the same one I sold him. Probably had a deadbeat bidder, considering the disclaimer at the top of the description section.

Gotcha. That disclaimer wasn't there when I originally viewed.....he must have edited the relisted auction. Well, I guess a lucky second chance for someone, although it is still starting at a beefy pricetag.

And at $460, that's almost five flash carts.
Collectors ruin everything.
Well, the previous auction ended with the seller getting this feedback:
Quoteno reply after payment, liar!!!!! Avoid!!!!!! caio24 ( 152) Dec-03-08 09:27
MAGICAL CHASE TURBO GRAFX US 90s HOLY GRAIL MINT RARE (#110306486101) US $459.99 View Item
Doesn't look like the seller left any feedback for the buyer.
Well, if the seller is just trying to steal from buyers, it'll probably be worth their while if they can sell and re-list Magical Chase 3 or 4 times under the excuse of deadbeat bidders before PayPal/eBay catches up with them. Plus they get to keep the game(if they really still have it). =D>

To bad the US Magical Chase ROM doesn't work on a flash cart as it suffers from byte swapping :( The same can be said for Cadash, Blazing Lazers, Military Madness and a few more. They simply do not work on actual hardware due to bad dumps.

Find a better ROM image; my flash cart works fine with Magical Chase (I haven't tested Cadash, Blazing Lazers, or Military Madness). :wink:
Once you change the region from US to Japan it locks up. And all the ROM images I have are exactly the same CRC's. Doesn't matter if it is GoodPCE or No-intro I get the same error from my DUO and Super Grafx.
