So, another Magical Chase on eBay...

[Sparky]

I personally would pay up to $450 for the box with the insert alone.

Roy just when i thought i heard it all  . you craz!!!

[mrhaboobi]

didnt have to give up a kidney.. paid what i thought was a fair price and thats significantly less that what roy above was suggestin he'd pay.  $450 for a box is a bit insane    half that is getting closer in my opinion and even then i have to question why we pay that much for some thin cardboard.. im sure i could get a run of re production boxes made for that price.. infact thats tempted to do it, make a repro which is clearly a repro and then sell them for a fair price so that collectors can at least have a nice looking collection ... kinda like sparky and his labels..

shit id rather just get the boxart and make my own box at the printing store.

Problem solved.

The monetary value of Magical Chase always overpowers any discussion of how well-programmed a game it is. That is to say, I think it's a pretty cool game with excellent art direction and some nice programming tricks. Also, one of the best music tracks of any PCE HuCard (last level).

There, found a YouTube link to the track I'm talking about.

[Senshi]

well isn't that cool. Didn't know such a thing existed. Thank ya.

That's because a VAST majority (obviously not all) pop in to nab the game and that's it.  When/if they claim their "prize" they drift away rarely to be seen again.   When you see certain peeps going all nuts "ANY price", "renting it out" etc.  you can kinda see what their plan is.

It's a nice cute-em-up, nothing particularly special like say Sapphire or Rendering Ranger, but I'm always amazed prices people pay for rarity, no game IMO is worth more than $100 unless you're talking about a PCB, of course I've bought and sold games for more, but $600+, that's just surreal to say you own a tiny piece of plastic and cardboard.  Even more amazing when you consider a JP version does exist (though not for chump change either) when we're not talking about a text-driven game like Dynastic Hero.  This is a case where I'm glad emulators exist so your average gamer can actually play a game such as this without being gouged in the pocketbook.

Im interested to know who this bidder is

l***l (169)

just wondering if its a forum member as there are some other auctions where i just want a part of two, and dont want to drive the price up bidding on the same gear.. whoever you are show your face

[TheClash603]

I could care less about the box...  I wonder how much a loose copy will go for?

Mrhaboobi, if you are looking to get the box, maybe we can combine forces?

[mrhaboobi]

nah i dont want the magical chase, unfortunately for you i now have a boxed one ( and its minty not like that auction), so not going to try and grab another..  I was looking at another auction with some manuals i wanted..   and was being outbid by the underbidder on the magical chase.. so i just wondered if that was a forum member.

You see, the problem here is, you're obviously not a baseball card collector.

I am, but only the US versions.  It's a pretty cheap hobby, since there's only one (World Class Baseball).
