PCE Magical Chase?
« on: March 20, 2009, 03:59:46 AM »
Just wondering how rare the PCE MC is, how much it typically goes for, and where I could get one if I wanted to. I'm guessing $185 complete isn't a good price since this one's been sitting on eBay for weeks.

Thanks!

It is the somewhat more rare PCEngine Fan version, so maybe it is worth that much (probably not).  As the normal release, it's overpriced and only worth about half that.

They shot up in price on eBay within the last 6 months to a year or so(?). For a long time they were $100 - $150 for either version complete.

I wouldn't pay over $99 for a JP copy (either version) of Magical Chase, personally. I'm not sure what the JP MC market is like anymore, so I might be waiting a while, but it's just not worth it.

Does it matter which version?  I'm curious.... like a cat (meow).

Thanks, tats.  On a mostly unrelated side note, I beat Magical Chase for the first time last weekend on realz hardware.  It made me want to piss away a silly amount of dough on a US copy, but I'm fighting the urge..... so far.
