i would even buy the Bootleg. the fact that the bootleg is out there and well known makes it a collectable to me.

Or, uh, you could get one directly from the source for half the price.

I bought one from "the source" years ago for something like $38. At that price was totally worth it, but paying $100 or whatever for a fake is just stupid.

Now he seems to be selling open ones for that price, and sealed ones for more than twice that. Whether of not 'sealed' means anything with   f*cking pirate soft...is up to the buyer to decide, I guess.

I sold my bootleg version for £30 a while back.
I thought it was a fair price, although I do feel bad about bootlegs in general.

Yeah me too, it seems shortly after I got mine he jacked the price up to $65 or something, which I thought was ridiculous. Now it's $100 which is insane. However, the $40 for an "open" copy is a decent deal if you're just looking to play the game without spending insane amounts of cash.

At one point I had a genuine and a bootleg copy.
Now I have none: both sold.

I should really get another boot just so I can play it now and again.

Hey Henry - yea, Sapphire complete mint w/spine card, registration card, legit can be had in Japan for about $275 to $450 brand new sealed.  I've bought 2 for $275 each used.  Re-Sold it the first time (since I played it on a crappy TV, I was not impressed by it at all), but the one I bought recently, I really was blown away since my TV is upgrade and man, Sapphire's effects are ridiculous and it's a great shooter, even though I hate overhead shoot em ups!   

Best way to tell fake / non-fake is looking at the inner CD band.  IF it doesnt say HGCD, it's a fake!

thanks for the link nat
