Bargain at two times the price:

Sonic Spike sells for $20 MIB on eBay.

It sells for $10 sealed on Amazon.

Everyone knows that Monster Lair was overprinted and that sealed copies are easy to find. But what about a much less common dirty/worn sealed copy? How about $350:

Hah! I kind of regretted my purchase in the 90's for $39.99, but it works fine.

I bought a nice Avenue 6 and a loosie Street Fighter II CE for $30... on this very forum!

Found this great price on Jack Nicklaus Golf today:

The BIN price is a joke, but the starting price isn't very surprising.  The huey is cheap, but the CD version Jack has sold for $100 repeatedly for years.

[johnnykonami]

Same guy is also selling JB Harold for $150... tell me that's not the going rate on that also, is it?  I always wanted a JB Harold.

[Necromancer]

Hell no, that's a cheap one.

[johnnykonami]

frown.

The CD version has been getting crazy prices for years now.

Yeah, now that I posted it I think I vaguely remember something about that.  Shame, I looked up the Japanese version and it's like 10 bucks.

As for JB Harold, I saw on one page that the Japanese version of JBH is in English... can anyone confirm?

[Lost Monkey]

Just tried the following process on my Japanese copy - worked fine  - plus once you have the text in English, you can see an option for the voices to be in English too...

1) Start the game. You’re at the screen where the woman says, “Hi, JB!” Press Button I to bring up a menu with five commands.

2) You want NONE of those commands. Press right on the D-pad to get to a sixth command. Select this one.

3) Now you’re at a screen with a gun. Press button I to bring up a menu with five commands.

4) You want NONE of those commands. Press right on the D-pad to get to two more commands. Select the top one.

5) Two more commands come up. Pick the bottom one.

6) The menu disappears. Press button I to bring it up again and voila! English text.
