I just bought a copy of Sylphia...

[Otaking]

I just bought a copy of Sylphia  can't wait to play it, I've heard its amazing 

I've also got a copy of Bazaaru de Gozaaru on its way, good times.

What'd you pay for it? It's not overly special, but the game is really fun. I love the music too.

[Otaking]

What'd you pay for it?

complete copy for £165, i was reluctant to pay so much as I used to see them sell for a £100 but the price seems to be now going up and up as the game gets rarer and rarer and didn't want to end up paying even more for it later.

Man all these rarer games getting bought lately     Only ever seen a Bazaaru for sale anywhere once or twice...nice grabs

yeh I've been waiting ages for a reasonably priced copy of Sylphia to come up but it never did, then all of sudden the price started to rocket and I thought I'd get in there quick before it gets any more expensive.

It's definitely not worth that, but if you've got money to burn it's still a cool game. I've bought and sold several copies over the years for $40 or less.

The prices this fetches these days are ridiculous. When i bought mine, mint, for £90 years back from VGI i was annoyed then, i'd be raging now! It's a pretty good game, nothing special graphics wise though. I could've burned you a copy so you could've tried it before you bought it jamie, but i think you're just well in to your collecting at the moment!

yeh thats the kind of price I was hoping to pay, been waiting ages but none ever turned up.
VGI are now selling it for £219

Sylphia is one of my favorites, but here in Japan it sells for less then half of that.  Same with Bizaaru. Considering how much your spending, I'd recommend a shopping trip here.  You'd probably save money even after the plane tickets.

Congrats hco i'm a owner of sylphia as well.I think it's a bit overrated,but a good shmup plus who doesn't like having a greek mythology for a theme in it.

what is bizzaru?

here in japan, a sylphia costs you about US$250 and bazaaru about US$220 at the moment. for my ultra mint bazaaru i even payed $260 at that time (3 yrs back).

so £165 is a quite good price at the momentan exc-rate!

years back you would have. but I guess nowadays you wouldn't anymore.

here in japan, sylphia is one of those game, which became ultraexpensive just over the past few years. among with rendering ranger for the SFC.

[SuperDeadite]

My spelling is so good, only I can do it!  

And my Sylphia and Bizzzzzaru were 9,000yen and 7,800yen respectively.  They both lack spinecards, but are otherwise in pristine condition.  I bought them both in Osaka just last summer.  Good deals can still be had, just takes more effort then the past.

but here in Japan it sells for less then half of that.

when I was last out in japan the going rate for a complete Sylphia seemed to be 13000-14000 JPY

Same with Bizaaru.

I paid £128 for a complete copy of Bazaaru

Considering how much your spending, I'd recommend a shopping trip here.  You'd probably save money even after the plane tickets.

yeh I was thinking that myself but plane tickets are £500 alone, let alone accommodation  

[Otaking]

in japan, a sylphia costs you about US$250

thats exactly what i paid
