Rather pricy for basically a loose hucard + instructions stuffed into a 'spare' case.

This guy was obviously a collector, and is now unloading his entire Turbografx collection. I grabbed a few games from him that I am still waiting to arrive. That price is definitely steep. I wonder if someone is going to use that buy it now!

Dude, I should NOT have clicked on "See Seller's Other Auctions" because it's mostly stuff I want, in the condition I want, at very reasonable prices. And I'm broke right now! AAAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!

Yeah, I have my eye on a few items. A little out of my price range for now, but he would accept best offer. So, if no one BIN it by the end of the month, maybe I'll give him my offer and see how it goes.

The last Magical Chase that I saw on ebay ended around that price. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same buyer who is now selling it.

I wonder if that is MurderDate, selling his stuff. Looking at his bought/sold history it looks like his stuff. A shame-- means he's getting out of Turbo gaming. If it is though, that Magical Chase is in primo condition. I sold it to him.

I always hate hearing about people selling off their Turbo collections.   :(

No, that buyer was me :) I am keeping mine however.

I originally paid $429, but there was an issue with the manual (sticker residue) and the seller took $40 off the price. Then, someone offered $60 for that manual. So, I scored for $329...not too bad. Just the hucard, but my entire collection is loose anyway so what the hell.

It's over.

The game was sold at $460, shocking how it was also a best offer. Well, that dashes any hope I had in finding a good price for it on Ebay now that every buyer and seller will resort to it as the "norm". *sigh*  :(

Someone will sell it for less eventually. Ebay is an excellent source, but you are probably right about the "standard" in pricing that happens when a game continually sells for the same (or near same) amount. Joe over at DP sold a loose one for $200 this past June, and I unfortunately missed it. I had to resort to the high price on ebay myself, but I just had to considering how LONG I waited to get even just a hucard (years). Again, hang in there, you'll find one one day!

They sure will, have no fear.

This particular copy that just went for $460 was sold to the seller, by me, for $165 for the card & manual in mint condition.

That's crazy. I would have taken that in a heartbeat. I take it that this seller was a previous collector? I purchased some of his games, and they came in great. Sure helped on nearly completing my set (4 to go!)
