Most old timers of turbo are not willing to spend the current rate of turbo inflated prices. Also, most of us here are not sitting on a mountain of turbo games. Well some are. Esteban mainly.

I had a medical situation some years back during which I needed to sell off part of my collection in order to fully cover the bills (games which were acquired during my middle school/high school years, and across many systems other than Turbografx), and many of those games meant a great deal to me. (Also, I had a certain roommate who was...shall we say...less than scrupulous...about other people's property, and who accounted for another percentage of losses.)

Now that I'm going back and recollecting, I'm finding that the market has skyrocketed in several cases, but for a few games like this one, I can manage it. That's all it is.

I understand that.  Prices have gone up but it's been pretty stable the past few years. Some games affected more than others for turbo. Valis seems to be one of those.  There are ton of lurkers here to make a "deal" so you might luck out. Just know what you're willing to pay. If you've been around turbo a long time you should know how this forum works in regards to new people asking for games that tend to  be on the high side. It's a reason it's good to give an introduction and be active on the forums first. So many deals made for new members over the years only to be abused. Kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth when the horse has been beaten to death. With that said welcome to the forums. Good luck with the hunt, and sorry to hear about your medical issue.

I have a copy of Valis 2 3/8ths ill sell you. Much more rarez than 2 and three. Its CIB. I knew the developer...personally....he mushroom stamped the manual for me as his signature. I got it VGA rated too. They rated it at 1000+ triple platinum.( which is apparently their higest honor ever.) Regardless here's a pic of the cover:

Dont be deterred by the cover looking like massive pig testicles. Its just the motif of the whole game. Ill let it go for $1136 plus international shipping from Mesopotamia. Or ill trade for a Keith Courage HuCard....
