Someone got a good deal indeed.

That seller must have a case of them, they seem to list one every month.  They usually go for about the same price.

Yeah, that's been a $10 game, new or used, for ages. I bought a dirt cheap new copy in 2005.

I can't think of one other game with such a large price difference between TG and PCE versions. Even the PCE version of MC is pricey.

Dungeon Explorer II had a pretty vast difference

This guy has been trickling out some decent deals on loose PCE hueys and CD games.

True, but not $400-500 difference....yet, anyway.

Not great, but better than the usual $100s

[FiftyQuid]

Is that the PCE version or the US?

[PCEngineHell]

The one I linked to is a US copy. I cant say the same for the stuff listed on Amazon, though I suspect they are all Japanese copies on there.

[futureman2000]

I bought Cadash on Amazon last year and got a US copy. I noticed that the manual insert cover looked odd- turned out that whoever owned it had cut out the cover of the box so that it would fit into the jewel case. Then manual was in fine shape too, so I'm not sure why this was done.

[BigusSchmuck]

Is that the PCE version or the US?

Looks like the PCE version. I did manage to snag a turbo copy from Amazon last year complete minus the cardboard box for 20ish. Amazon is really a crap shoot, but sometimes they do offer better deals than ebay.

This was a $10 complete game just a few years ago when I picked it up. Weak.

[JohnnyPhantom]

I just traded my Loose copy of CalyFighter Sculpters Cut for N64 That was in pretty good shape for 2 TurboExpresses (both in pretty good shape, need caps replaced, and has battery covers and wrist straps), Impossimole and Bomberman. Good deal?

as far as I can tell, its just the rental exclusive stuff thats picking up in value. Clayfighter SC I found as a mistake for $5 (the value of the normal one) and traded it for all that stuff. its worth around $150ish give or take

[bartre]

loose?
no, just no nononononononono.
god dammit.
I haven't paid attention to a lot of N64 games (i got all the expensive ones a year or more ago)
but it seems like they're all going up by crazy amounts.
i mean, god damn, i'm seeing people paying $70 for Conker's!
it's not even rare, really.

but damn, that's a good deal for you!

Selling all my N64 stuff now, thats how it works for me, I'll treasure a collection and swear I'll never sell, but once I sell the keystone of the collection (Clayfighter SC in this case) the rest is good to go. http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid=90575 I hunted down a lot of the rarer stuff as well. Now I'll keep some games for myself (like my Conkers and Harvest moon which I have had since launch day, and kept them CIB and in very good shape ^-^)

but anyway, back on topic ^-^ glad to see someone agrees it wasn't a bad trade, was a lil nervous about doing it, but decided I'd get more fun out of a TurboExpress than Clayfighter (which isn't that great of a game)

[MotherGunner]

Excellent deal Johnny.  I would take one of those TE's off your hands if you wish.  =)

I just picked up a loosie PCE Batman from China for ~$13 shipped!

Nice!! I think Batman is my next game to find. On my two Expresses, I'm gonna repair them both, keep one stock and do the LCD + AV out mod on the other. I'll be sending it to thesteve for that. Now not sure if I want to do a 3.5" LCD in it or find a good 2.5" screen to keep it looking original... hmm.....

[MotherGunner]

There is just something so sexy about a stock TE.  I think I will get another one and have it upgraded with a 2.5 LCD.

This auction went up as a bid auction originally.  It was at $2.00 when I saw it first within minutes of going up.  Then in a couple more minutes it jumped up to over $100 and was for some reason pulled.  Next thing I see in the completed auctions was this:

My guess is someone messaged him right after it went up and offered the $350 via buy it now and the seller did it.

Anyone here happen to get this good deal/steal?

That is a decent deal.  I didn't manage to get it.  Couldn't have even if I had noticed it.  $350 this time of year on games doesn't really sit well with me or my wife.

What's up with that Knight Rider game?  Is it a good game of just cashing in on the brand?

I think I see what happened with it now.  It was first put up as an auction with a $350 Buy it Now.  Someone threw a bid on it to knock off the buy it now price.  From there the auction was pulled and put back up with a $350 buy it now and someone bought it.  Lucky........  Still wonder if anyone here got it.

Given the ~7500 feedback of the buyer, it is most likely a reseller, and we will see all the items again, marked up.

$350 is a steal considering the last couple of ebay auctions on Dungeon Explorer 2 alone go for that much. A shame I didn't catch it neither. I would have bought it and raffled off my loose Dungeon Explorer 2 and Winds of Thunder.
