I'm pretty sure I could figure out what the D-pad and 2 buttons do without spending that kind of money for an instruction manual (regardless of how rare it is).
Yeah most of his prices are a joke.
Lame, but on the other hand oompa loompas are awesome!

This is where some of you insane collector types get the royal shafting for a couple of sheets of paper. :-({|=
Surprise, pompousparson is price gouging. One recently sold for $32 (no reserve and started low), so he's obviously well over double the 'real' value.

Settle down, Zeta. :lol:
Hey man everything bugs that guy- I pick my pet peeves. :-"
Personally though if I had the manual- I'd get rid of it- and I wouldn't be able to bring myself to charging anything over 10$ for an instruction manual- that's just bad karma.
EDIT
Lemme edit this sucker again- I realize I'm kind of contradicting myself here as its the CD games (which Dynastic most assuredly is) that I like complete with manuals (no boxes though- that's overkill to me). The hucards I like loose of course. Still though- I'd refuse to buy a manual going for over 10$ on principle. I'd feel a bit like a mark.

I like to have the case and manual for hueys, but I can deal with loosey gooseys. But CDs must be complete (minus box). It's just not right having a naked CD.
This is too expensive.. [-X
dudes smoking some reefer.
id rather get a pdf , print it high quality, and pretend its real.
I have one of these for sale. Tell you what, I'll cut the great patrons of the PCEFX forums a deal and let it go for only $70. Go ahead and Paypal me the funds right away. You can thank me later.

I think he's the one who won it. :lol:
Not surprising pompous puts it that high when his feedback showcases the biggest list of idiots this side of the evolution ladder. (I would go far back but I didn't want to insult the monkeys. :D)
$85? Is that manual covered in 14K gold in something? :roll:

HEY! I am one of those monkeys I guess. He sold me my Turbo CD attachment W/ case for $145, which isn't too bad. I also got excellent editions of Air Zonk and Ys Books I and II together for a cool $80.
I am not standing up for the guy. Some of his prices are too high. But if you email him and get to know the guy, he'll make you deals :D

I've actually raised this point a few times. Every time I have dealt with him he has lowered his prices. You just have to ask.

He knew I wanted a Super System Card but I wouldn't nor couldn't pay what most sellers wanted. So he bid and won an auction for me and sold it to me for what he paid to get it. Cost me $59 :D
BTW-That copy of Ys was the retail version with back insert. :D

Sure, I can make him a deal he can't refuse. Give me the systems and I won't break his kneecaps. :twisted:
By the way, Mathius, you sure love using ":D" a lot, don't you? :lol:
My God, your right, I do. Oh well, no reason to stop now :D
Hey, using :D does seem pretty satisfying. :D
Look at those pearly whites. :D

$85 buys a carload of beer. Or a class at community college. Priorities.
$85 can also net you a 15" monitor. :)

More like a third of a class these days.
that's heavy!

Counting books, your right! :-k
$240 for 12 units @ $20 a unit. Around $400 or more on books. lol. These prices are for my JC. Also, per unit price is going up in spring :(
Up to 26 a unit, $312 for 12 units up here, plus $485 in books I bought online for $125. ](*,) :-k
The textbooks I buy look like the 99c Library-Sale special.
Man, I WISH I was paying California JC fees -- I just paid AUD$10,000 for my next semester's classes. (and that's only 4/5 of recommended full-time load) :cry:
I took it for granted when I went to junior college in Cali, but I've since learned that JC fees in California are beyond dirt cheap. In most parts of the world, 2-yr college classes costs about 10x times that. I paid $13 a unit when I was going to junior college there, and even that was written off because I was below a certain income threshold level.

Wow. When I attended jc/tech school in other parts of the country, I was paying much, much more for tuition. It was comprable to that in Colorado. But not that expensive.

I think it's safe to say that a good majority of students take their schooling much more seriously when they go back. I know that's definitely my case. :)

Ah, my tuition is now for postgrad stuff, so what I spent isn't comparable to JC tuition, but still, for full-time TAFE colleges (community college equivalent) programs here, one will need to spend a few grand for a year to two's worth of tuition. At least a few grand was also about what one would expect to spend for a JC-level program when I was living up in Canada (in Calgary, at least).

That makes sense. When you get to a 4-year University the rates go up exponentially. More so for the UC schools; and they require 3 times as many books plus a hefty list of prerequisites. There is also a freeze on JC transfer students due to class overcrowding and our budget crisis.
