When did cotton become...

250$ is the cheapest. there is only 5 sellers in Japan.

Higher than I'm willing to go for Coryoon.

I saw one on amazing for $180 a few weeks ago I was playing with the idea of getting. Not sure if it is still there

There's a few cheaper ones there.

You are right $150 I sent the seller a question to see if it had the case and manual or not.

That's the thing I don't like about Amazon. The sellers there never seem to list details for whatever game I'm looking at. Plenty of times I've asked about something only to realize it's sold by the time they get back to me.

That is one thing I find VARY frustrating. That and it is all stock pictures so the actual condition is unknown apart from a blurb that MIT only say "good condition".

REALLY leaves the thing open to interpretation.

Because I have no life but lots of curiosity, I've been digging through the sales forum in an effort to find the first person to have done a raffle. I came across this post from 2008 which I found amusing:

I've seen it happen from time to time with records..   something is considered rare/in demand until it is found.  I know a dude in Italy bought like an entire pallett of this record, Ventura - Another Time (amazing rec, one of my faves).  Well the first sealed copy sold on Ebay for $1200.  Now about 200 copies have sold and it's hard to get even $30 for it these days.

Look at Cotton..  the financial cache on that one is falling fast.

Is it possible that games like Dynastic Hero / Magical Chase / Bonk 3 are so rare because the entire stock was never sold ?  They're sitting in a warehouse - some of the very last games produced for a system that most would consider obsolete? 
And do these Redfrog f*ckers now own all this shit ?

BTW: first person to do something raffle-like appears to be Sparky's Power Golf giveaway. Also holy crap, some pretty awesome stuff used to pass through these forums. Also at the fact that 6+ years later the same arguments dominate discussion here.

One for $250 on that one place, mislabeled:

I just oopsed, didn't realize it has the US case and manual, but the JP game. Sorry.

Yeah, Red Frog, I wonder what happened to all their stock they bought off of TZD when they closed. I recall in their online store they had a Dynastic Hero for sale, $600 or something. They weren't around for too long, because sometime later they had some sort of court case (Not related to TG-16), and that froze up certain things, and their ebay store and website disappeared.
