How much does Ys Book I&II usually go for loose on ebay?
« on: June 16, 2008, 12:19:19 PM »
Recently I have seen loose copies of it being sold as high as $60 as of today and if it is any lower, bidding wars occur. I better be getting my money's worth seeing that all 5 diehard Turbo fans preach to people that it is "THE BEST GAME EVER". $60 is exactly what I paid. Wouldn't take a risk in participating in a price gouging war because the ending bid would most like be even higher than $60. >_>

Sorry, but $60 is way too high for a loosey goosey.  Here's proof:

Don't feel too bad though, it's still worth far more than $60 of fun.  :wink:

Ys 1 & 2 is a $20 package, end of story.

Sealed, maybe $40.

$30 is fair for the original retail version complete(disc, insert + manual, no cardboard box). Its not rare, but it is one of the most sought after CD games.

The Duo pack-in should go for $20 for the disc or $25 with the manual tops.

The Turbo Ys games market on eBay is controlled by a few losers trying to rip people off. But you can still find them at decent prices fairly regularly.

Although Ys III complete with cardboard box is usually advertised for $99, I bought it mint complete + cardboard box not too long ago for a Buy-It-Now of $35.

Ah, yes, I should've added the Duo pack-in is usually a bit cheaper and was more what I had in mind when I referenced the $20 price point.

Turbo games in the wild would be as overpriced as ebay if my area's mom & pop stores had them....

Ya, I know what you mean. It depends on the shop I guess. I buy games without regret, regardless of price. There always is a better deal to be had eventually, but I usually can't wait, lmao!

I think you can find a good deal on the loosy as most collectors wont go near it. but some idiot may throw down a high bid on the loosy you never know be patient in your search and get your best deal on the loosy. My oppinion is 15.00 max plus the shipping. I would personally not more then that.

I know what you mean. Been looking for that game ever since I had a Duo for a decent price but I gave up and here I am.
