My local is not a place to buy from unfortunately.
Pac-Land
Falcon
Davis Cup Tennis
TV Sports Football
Final Lap

$30 each in unboxed barely acceptable condition.  Boo-urns  :x

Well,
I couldn't restrain myself any longer.  I've heard so many good things about Ys Book I & II.
I went to this store today and picked up a couple of the Turbo games that they had.

$39.99 - Wanderers from Ys Book 1 & 2 - U.S.-released Turbo CD game complete with instruction manual and case (I talked the manager down from $49.99 for this one.)
$14.99 - Street Fighter II - Japan-released HuCard game complete with instruction manual and case
$  2.99 - Davis Cup Tennis - Japan-released Turbo CD game complete with instruction manual and case (They gave me a $3 off discount on this one because I bought the other ones, so I went ahead and got this.)

This store has picked up another game - Super Grafx - Aldynes for $29.99 complete even with outer paperboard case (which seems to be a decent price for it, but since I don't have a Super Grafx yet, I restrained myself)

  Seems like a pretty fair deal in all, from what I gathered here and looking at a lot of games for sale, That's about what they go for, but there are def. a lot of games out there trying to be sold at double those prices too. and a $3 complete in case is never bad! 

Just started YS myself, seems like it's going to be pretty good.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Spenoza: The wannabe masculinity just overwhelms.

Davis Cup in NA was HuCard. The CD was Japan-only (as far as I know).

So....do you have a NA HuCard instruction manual paired with a Japanese CD?

I have the HuCard and I actually played it and enjoyed it back in the day. And I liked very few sports games.

You are correct.  It was the Japan-released CD version.  I'll have to give it a try.

I enjoyed "career mode" despite the heavy time commitment (like real tennis, the matches can go on and on, especially if someone makes a comeback). The Sound Effects are top-notch, no joke and solid controls.

Ys 1&2 is my favorite RPG of all time. You should enjoy it.

That's a pretty good price for Aldynes.  That one is kind of difficult to find for a decent price especially with the cardboard sleeve.
