Hey now, I'm from Nintendo Age! And if I ever got my hands on a VGA graded anything, my first instinct would be to liberate it from its acrylic prison. [-(

I'm also a member of Atari Age, and Sega-16 before that, and a bunch more that I can't think of at the moment. I actually purchased a Duo-R recently from a user over at AA (not the alcoholics one), which is what led me to this fine place.

   So i get the feeling you mean well, and for whatever reason are particular about your collection, that's cool different strokes.  And I'm sure your willing to pay the hundreds and be happy, and you've taken flak for it. We've all been there (you spent money on what?) but the chance of finding someone on here willing to sell a DEII in okay condition is going to be rare.  There just aren't that many out there and about 70% of this forum is still looking for a copy. 
    I'm just pointing out that as the price of these games has sky rocketed over the past few years, and we've watched "collectors" buy/sell and inflate the prices of what is considered rare games, the community here is a bit distrustful of people coming along and waving their rare games in the faces of people here, or buying and flipping potentially at the cost of the community. (certainly these people never add to the community in any real way) 
   Although it may be unfair to judge you as such, I just don't think you'll find your copy here, but instead will get something like this thread.  You can say a lot about the turbo community, but damn are they passionate knuckleheads.

Anyway best of luck - Enjoy the turbo.

I have OCD and I like my games mint; that is it. I was willing to pay $500 - $700 for a mint copy. I even buy over priced new/sealed games just so I know I have a mint copy or multiple copies to make sure I can build a mint copy. I just assumed being a member for a few years I could find a copy from someone. I wasn't aware it was even 'that' rare. I also apologize for asking here assuming I would be surrounded by people that would support and share in my passion rather than mock me. When I was last on here four years ago; I didn't have to catch shit for selling quality items for reasonably low prices. I can conform though and be an a$$hole, mock and flame.

I support you brother, your closer than me to having all the turbo you can ever play at your finger tips whenever, with manual ect...  That is awesome.  At no point did I flame you, I just pointed out that you might be disappointed with how things turn out here.  It's not always right, but some members take these things as just another person who collects becuase they want to be cool and wave it in others faces and not for the love of the game. (you'll find the guys here really really like playing games in general, Turbo yes but also Feka, Nintendo ect.)

For what it's worth the game is pretty rare these days to see up for sale, even on the various forums.  Personally I hope you get one in better condition than yours, it'll give me hope I might find one.

Also out of curiosity what do you mean by "mint" - becuase imo true mint would be the way the game left the factory - which would be brand new sealed.

I consider mint as 'like new' condition. No scratches/scuffs on the CD, no chips on the CD edge, manual that is cut correctly, not ripped, not folded, not faded. Very minor digs on the edge of the manual from the CD case tabs are acceptable. I do allow for some leeway but a scratch free disc is a must.

I can think of only three titles that don't have folded manuals - the three boobeh discs.  If the others weren't folded, how would they fit in the case?  :P

I've noticed that there has been a HUGE increase in cost. $20 games are now $100-$130 and there is a lot of common games that are now harder to find. Gate of Thunder was a easy find with 4-7 on ebay at any given time. Sim Earth was a $20-$40 game new/sealed. Now, I cannot even find a copy for sale anywhere.

The same going with the PCE side. It was easy to find RAU-30s and IFU-30As both BNIB. Now there are more broken 'untested' units on eBay then good quality used.

I'm not hear to make money or flip items on eBay. My goal is to complete a set of all US games (minus MC), while working on my Japanese favorites. I have a PS3, PS4, and an XBox360. I don't play any of them, I'd rather just my SGX. My wife will even play the SGX with me. She wont play any of the newer consoles as she cant seem to figure out the controllers.

I'm just curious, and honestly not trying to be smartass or anything, but if you already had a PS3 and 360 that you weren't playing, why on earth would you buy a PS4?  :-k
