Holy shit! I am getting this because I just spent $500 on a New Turbo Duo system. Maybe I should get this game and not play my new Turbo Duo. And then sell it all for $3000+. Then I'll try to find another new Turbo Duo and finally play my Turbo Duo.

Is it even worth it? For that much money, you wouldn't want to even open it. Just get one used in pristine condition for $160-$180 with spine card and registration.

The game, realistically, is worth SQUAT! It's NOT super-rare, it's not even RARE! I wouldn't pay more than $60 for an unopened copy.

Unfortunately, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

You'd think for $1200 he would include free shipping. But no, the bastard is gonna stick you with an extra $6.

If he gets even one bidder at that price, I'll eat my big fluffy hat.

I put the item on my watch list to see who bids? Should we message the winner?

It's rare to find a new, sealed Dracula X, though.

I agree that NO, its absolutely not rare. But, its rare to see them for sale. Most people hold on to their copies. So technically it IS rare.

Now paying this much for a new copy, thats just stupid.

I think this seller made a typo. I bet he intended to list it at $199. Otherwise, he's on crack.

As for prices, they are determined not only by "rarity" but by "demand". There is a high demand for this game... I'd go so far as to say that it is one of the most sought after titles, simply because there are tons of Castlevania fans who have no interest in PCE, per se, but who would still want a PCE (or magicengine) solely to play the coveted Dracula X.

i bet against! since the price for a sealed & mint ADX in akiba amounts about US$500 as well! and nearly noone who bought that game years ago keept it as seald (japan or outside).
