Funny thing is, he's even going crazy on shipping. 30 bucks for a cd case? Come on guy...do you really need every freaking cent THAT badly??

EMS plus insurance will prob actually run close to that because he will have to insure it for the full amount it sells for. Insurance cost jumps every $50 or so value wise that you are insuring in most postal systems.

Yeah, that's just cheap.  He could just bump it to $1630 and mark it FREE shipping.

Maybe he needs all that cash so he can help build a giant Pentecostal church?

Yeahhhh....about that...


I don't get why he's showing his receipt, that he paid 7,200 yen. (About $73)

Also, insurance on 160,000 yen is only 400 yen through EMS. It should be like 1200 yen to ship a CD case. The shipping about double what it would actually cost him.

I don't get why he has "not for sale" in the listing.  Is that a language barrier thing?

He's likely referring to it never being available at retail.  To get it, one had to buy and send in registrations for both the CD and huey versions of Darius, then hope to be amongst the 800 randomly chosen winners.

His "receipt" says that "he bought" Thunder Blade, Daisenpu, Out Run and an Ave Pad 3.
