Well to draw a parallel to for example stamp collectors when they but expencive stamps they do not use them neither will this buyer play a game he pays over 2000 dollar for I mean it's straight to the bankdepossit.... #-o  [-X
And thats just what the makers of the game intended in the first place......... :^o  ](*,)

PRICE:  Too much....

Seriously, I am really looking to complete my collection and I am willing to pay the going price... Loose is fine, and I will be playing the shit out of it, and I can personally guarantee (on my honor) it will not be resold, but willed to my unborn children, or next of kin...

Thank you.

Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!


MasonSushi

i know that one ended at 550.00, but was wondering how much the loose one before that went for?

Does anyone know how many copies of this game were produced? I apologize if it has been answered already. . . I'm just curious.

I think 2000 seems more likely.

Either way, it doesn't factor into the selling prices. Equally rare and even rarer Turbo games go for far less.

Is it just because it's a game of (from what I hear, I haven't played it) pretty high quality and had a limited production run?

SignOfZeta

I'm pretty sure any production count you may have heard is just some bullshit someone made up.

No, it's only because of a long running manipulation of the market.

Although it is a high quality game, the gouging has only turned people against it. If it usually sold for $5 or less, people would only have good things to say about it.

It didn't have a limited production run. At least, not compared to any of the other late release games. Exact production numbers are probably impossible to come by, but I do know a guy who used to work for Hudson that claims most the late release games (MC included) were produced in the same quantities. Magical Chase is no more rare than, say, Order of the Griffon.

The actual reason for the inflated price is as Black Tiger stated.

Except that OotG isn't available to buy very often, unlike the often seen Magical Chase. Going by the logic that rarity guides use, many Turbo games are rare, but Magical Chase is maybe uncommon.

It's simply a pissing contest to see who can lose the most money.

If I had a spare copy, I would only trade it. Even if what I got in return could be worth a lot, it would at least prevent one more high profile sale and purchase. Both of which are damaging to the market.
