750? Are we talking about the TG CD-ROM in Pilot Mountain? Did I miss something? Seller wants $300...or did the they part out all the games?

Lost Ark in Greensboro finally got a Bride of Pinbot. I have a reason to play pinball there now.

Had a good larf on that one in chat.  "100% authentic because I say so!"


Looks like a dishonest seller. Any buyer who leaves negative feedback because their "mint" game had scratches all over it gets called a "terrible buyer".

...He sure gets a lot of "terrible buyers".

Which means it won't be much of a stretch for some shill bidding to be going on.

Looks like a CDR copy to me.  Nothing special looking either.  If he had some special or unique documentation to support the authenticity of the disc, it would add some credit to his claim.  I just don't see anything special here....

I know im relatively new here, but isnt this too much for what might seem a dubious copy?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ginga-Fukei-Densetsu-Sapphire-Import-PC-Engine-TurboGrafx-16-1995-NEW-SEALED-/300671833741?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item460170168d



It looks legit to me, as the colors are accurate and the peel strip is in the right spot, but I still wouldn't pay any where near $900 for it.

I agree with Necromancer, there are no signs of it being a fake. There's another real one listed in Japan for $500 but it's not sealed.

Sapphire still goes for between $200 - $300 on eBay. I'd rather not pay double for a game already going for hundreds just to have it extra mint and extra complete. But anyone interested in doing so is looking for more than a game to play. At least Sapphire is genuinely rare, but not $500 rare.

I wonder what the seller of the sealed copy would say if you asked them if you could still buy it even though you are definitely going to open it? Probably that they don't really care about preserving a collectible, only that they get paid.

This is why I won't ever understand buying games just to keep them sealed looking pretty on the shelf. Chances are someones gonna open your sealed game.

It certainly is. 

And on second thought, it might well be a fake.  The ones Tobias shows on his site now look to have more accurate coloring, but the disc is still different; perhaps that's why this guy is adamant that it shouldn't be opened.
