If you have an Arcade Card but no Sapphire, then this is definitely a raffle with your name in it!

[snickersbar]

Hey can you add me in please

[Firebomber7]

Hey can you add me in please

Sure. I haven't really seen your posts much. Are you on other forums also?

[Ji-L87]

If you're fine with shipping international, sign me, pl0x. (Of course I will cover that expense).
I secured an arcade card and everything but the other one I won 'round christmas never showed up : <

[CPTRAVE]

Me two I have been out of college for a few months now got a basic low paying job, just found out the person who I work with that does not even have an associate degree and started 4 months after I did gets paid more than I do. I work 3rd shift and he has weekends off. I have a bachelors and get paid less.

So I would like to be included in your raffle please.

What's weird is that market is flooded, at least on YAJ, with some guy selling sealed copies of the bootleg for $150-$200+ every week or two (along with Rockman and Space Fantasy Zone). He's been at it for a year or more. I can't believe people are so stupid or are just not aware of the fact the bootleg exists, but people with real copies just don't list them. I've seen one loose disc which went for around $70, and any other game site/shop will list it at insane prices. So I'd love a boot just to be able to play it on the actual hardware until I eventually find a real copy in good shape for a reasonable price.

Edit: Also, nice 666th post SMF!

OMG, you're raffling off 3 copies, very nice of u Firebomber!
I missed out when Blue was giving them away, and was unlucky T2KFreeker had a raffle...
May the PCE gods make my 3rd time a charm!  O:)
Throw me in the mix please, thanks!

I was about to say the same thing ;)

Hope Samurai gets one, totally deserves one!

[Terminarcade]

That's awesome! Id really like to join in this raffle 

[Nazi NecroPhile]

+3 TurbobKarma for giving away a great shootie, a shootie everyone should have in their collections.

I would love a chance to win a copy of Sapphire. I've been around since the end of last year and am constantly on the forum reading everything. My post count isn't very high because I post only when (I feel) I have something significant to contribute. Accordingly I'll be posting pics of my recent PCE hardware pickups this weekend. If I'm lucky enough to win, this will be the ultimate inspiration to finally land an Arcade Card Duo.

LOL i didnt even notice that lol. So thats why the Devil showed up and bribed me with complete in boxes Turbo goodies lol.

Dam i figured it would be easier to find one overseas. WOW kinda sounds like Earthbound. Markets flooded but good luck finding one thats not over $100.

This is more than likely Tobias the guy who made them in the first place.

Could be, right on if that's the case. But whoever it is is making a lot of money selling those boots!!

[Firebomber7]

Wow, at this rate 1/3 of you guys will get a copy!

[CatBoy]

Well I have been here for 5 years but only posted ~40 times.
I have a PC Engine Super CD-ROM 2 attached to a CoreGrafx2 and an Arcade Card Pro... I don't want to play burned copies and I don't want to pay an insane amount of money for a bootleg.
If I'm a reasonable exception (below 50 posts), can I be added to the raffle?  

[Firebomber7]

Catboy is in.

[Firebomber7]

Contest is now closed. Winner will be announced soon.

You might want to PM Sparky. He didn't comment on my auction, so I don't know if his offer will stand here or not.
