Dear Lord, I hope that's a typo.  Perhaps he meant $119 or $199 and not $1199, or mayhap he's just a retard.

Slowly but surely it is happening to the Japanese version as well. [-(

Looks like i'll never complete my collection (Magical Chase) unless I stumble upon it at a yard sale or flea market (3720-1 odds, i know). Nonetheless, I still think there are deals on ebay, if you're patient... really patient, but they're there.

So, um, that Cotton sold for over $500. It sold for more than Dynastic Hero did. For better or worse (probably in this case better), I didn't bid on these.

I honestly had planned on bidding on a few of those guy's games. I was going to bid $200 for Cotton, $350 for Beyond Shadowgate, and $600 for Dynastic Hero. I meant to wait until near when bidding ended to see if the bids were still under that, but I screwed up. Oh well, I guess the only one I would have won would have been Dynastic Hero and I really shouldn't drop $600 on one game.

I guess whoever bought that Cotton for $570 didn't see the Cotton that sold for $40 two weeks ago.

Oh my......... [-X
...and why do they spell grafx wrong (graphx) on the label? The spelling doesnt change in another country like color/colour or centre/center. It's spelled "tubografx" no matter what country it's in....hahahahaha.
You can make a home made converter but you can't make a home made rare game.
How come china hasn't produced some modern $10 converts for us yet? ...Probably not enough demand to pay for the plastic molds.

This "born-invincible" guy also had Beyond Shadowgate go for $400 plus, when just a few weeks ago a complete one with poster (which I missed again due to my son, dope!)  for only $120.  Someone is clearly fockign with that seller.  No way cotton is worth $500.  I mean I had my eye on another auction (but lost track of it during the birth of little Tokei last week) -> and it had Cotton US PLUS Dynastic Hero US and it only went for $500. 

Again - I had pointed out this Born-Invisible guy seems to be rigging it (see my post where he was conjuring up bids even on PAstel Lime)... seems like it to me for sure.
