I played the snes version first before acquiring the turbo version back in the early 90s and didn't think it was too bad. So I guess my question is this: Whats the problem in getting the PCE version? Its $20 and may be in japanese but you really don't need to understand it in order to finish it properly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ys-III-Wanderers-from-Ys-NEC-PC-ENGINE-CD-/230606917912?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item35b13e5118
Its not like playing a text heavy game like Dragon Quest...

My imperfect memory thinks it came in cellophane with a peel away strip, which that auction has.

Ugh.  As much as I want to blame gougers, people are just willing to pay more. 
Gougers shouldn't get off the hook, but impatient buyers and CIB johnny-come-lately's deserve an equal share.

Thats my point here.  We blame gougers all day long but people that want to spend rediculous amounts are to blame as well.

I wouldn't mind seeing a separate "collecting much?" thread.
Somebody bump it!:

For the low low price of only $49.99 BIN, you too can own an AUTHENTIC TG16 power supply! Act now!

ALSO someone should tell the dumb ass that you can ship it for 4.90 with tracking in a SMALL FLAT RATE Priority USPS box. through USPS.com

Guess I should raise the price of the one I have for sale/trade in my Trading Post thread.  I'm only asking for $5.  Unfortunately Canada Post is a bastard and wants $12 to ship it.  Bloody thieves!

PLCards the wonderful reseller claims he has offers at 900.00 and that was refused.  Also claims he is selling for a friend.

Have no idea who this guy is but how is the auction you link to gouging? It started at .99c and there doesn't appear to be any shilling occurring.

No way that sells for $900.00.  "Rarer than Magical Chase" in the subtitle.  Nice.  :clap:
