Beyond Shadowgate DUO NA, what would you pay for it? (census)
« on: August 12, 2014, 10:31:19 AM »
I recently ran into someone who has a copy (North American version) and is willing to sell it to me. It is in good condition, small crack on the back of the case, and no poster or manual.

There is a wide range of final sale values on eBay NA for this item. The last two items were $100 apart from each other in final value.

What would you pay for it in this condition? I want to be fair, but I don't want to get ripped off.

I wouldn't go past $150.  Mine was just over $100 with manual and poster, but that was years ago.

Expensive as it is, I think $200 is the maximum non gouged value for late TTi releases in my opinion.

I think I paid $180 here on the forum a couple years ago. I don't think it included the poster.

Anyone know if there are any repos floating around out there that I should watch out for, since this has no manual or poster. Is there any definite way to detect a for sure turboduo game from a repo or copy? Is that a stupid question? I only have Japanese Duo games. Never owned a NA duo game.

When I was last looking around for it, seems like around 100$ for it loose was common, 160-200 with case & manny. Id say 120-150 for it with case, depending on how badly you want it.

A little off subject, but i recently heard someone somewhere is mass producing fake Snatchers for segaCD. They are being sold off as discs only but apparently the label quality is flawless, but it is on a completely blank disc!  :shock:

$100 for no manual, no poster, cracked case. Remember you're saving him ebay/paypal fees.

The only repro disc is Sapphire. If you see a SCD game and it looks like a real CD, it is a real CD.

I sold my complete copy to a friend for $150.... this was in April I believe....   I'd say what you're hearing around here is correct... $150 to $200 depending on what all is included etc.  I know it sells for what $300+ on ebay etc but meh...

Yeah, with the manual and poster missing I am definitely not willing to pay $300. Even $250 seems way too steep. I don't know what he wants for it yet, but we'll see.

I decided a while ago that $150 is the maximum I'll spend on a video game.  I don't know what I'd do for a copy that wasn't complete.  I'd still like a copy, but I don't think that I'd pay top dollar for it in that condition...

Shadowgate seems to be getting quite a bit of attention as of late.  My favorite was a guy posting in a facebook group that he had to have the game because he loved Shadowgate so much, but he didn't want to pay gauged up prices for it and probably wasn't even going to play it as he didn't have a turbo grafx.  Classy guy.

I totally want Beyond Shadowgate as loose as possible, that way there's a slight chance it'll like me. Weh Weh Weh... nevermind the "Wehs."
