How much did you pay for your FX?

Just trying to get an idea of what an FX is worth.

I bought mine about 3 years ago.  Boxed, mint for $140.  But I live in Japan and  didn't have to pay shipping.  So if I lived in America that one would come to about $200.  You can get them cheaper now. 

Rising Stuff sells loose one for $99

I received mine thru a trade so hard to gauge a $ value.

The most I ever spent on a single FX was $65. I bought a bulk lot of them that were "broken", fixed them, and re-sold them at $40/piece for just the loose console. I didn't take a loss, even at that price.

I paid about 110  (before shipping) for my boxed FX when I bought like 5 games with it from Hit Japan over a year ago.
I paid 44 dollars and about 11 shipping for a loose one with issues from GeePee which I am currently tinkering with. fully working :dance:

About $120 for a mint boxed unit, but it also came with a BMP already installed.  Bought here in Japan, so no shipping.  (Though lugging it on the rush hour train was a pain in the ass).

Don't really remember how much my PC-FX itself cost, but I paid $250 I think for the boxed system and five games (including Yuna FX, a pricier title). If you do enough searching in the PC-FX sales forum, you'll be able to find the seller's thread that I bought from in person.

I was always under the impression that it was in the $50 range. I'm not up to date with PC-FX prices, so I'll take your word for it.

Most stores in Japan sell Yuna for $2.00-5.00.  The game is common as dirt, only FX game thats usually cheaper is Team Innocent.

I picked up a boxed one for $125 before shipping almost a year ago. I did purchase Yuna with it & I paid $17 for that game.

Really?  Where do you shop?

Are you confusing it with Graduation 2? 

The normal going price for Yuna is around $20-$30

But I would love to be wrong on this one.  $5 for Yuna would be great.

The Osaka SuperPotato has a stack of them for 500yen each though they are kind of buried and really hard to find without digging.  I've seen them cheaper in a lot of the local non-chain stores too.  I don't think there's much demand for that game (or most FX games in general).  Even the big 4 (Zenki, Zeroigar, CCK, TMCP) seem to be priced for less recently.  Lately Zeroigar seems to be the most expensive here, but the price is still much lower then the typical "rare game" prices for the popular systems.
