honestly, im just trying to get my post count up and saw this mega thread..

 i mean i think its pretty ignorant to pay $1200+ for a hucard, that just says GOLD on it, i mean it has no significance outside japan or playability and its not even a cool looking game ? it just has a bee on it ? ..

its almost like if it was magical or something and granted the cardholder instant cool-ness, backstage access at the movie theaters, or willy wonkas chocolate factory.

I would bid on the gold famicom super bomberman cart instead of this one IMHO...
 

So you're ignorant and a troll.  Fantastic.

Its nothing personal Necromancer. Someone is now a proud owner of a

"" All-Star Power League 88""
The Price: 178,000 yen (approximately $2,174)

Compared to this one-in-a-million rarity, Time Gal is common as dirt. Power League is a baseball game released by Hudson for the PC Engine. According to the sign that Super Potato affixed to this game, the childrens' comic magazine Coro Coro Comic ran a drawing and gave out just 100 copies of All-Star Power League, which presumably has been altered to feature a lineup of the hottest Japanese baseball players of the late '80s.

With only 100 in existence and only one up for sale, this tiny lump of silicon and plastic is the most expensive game in all of Tokyo. The slip of paper inside the case is the original documentation, which has likely bumped up the price of this copy considerably.

So you managed to figure out why it's so pricey.  Fravo!

Your next task is to learn the definition of 'gouging'.

I found just by chatting with others offering input,insults,ideas & etc, your count will rise and before you know it your count will be fine. No need to force it, as people will see what you post anyway and if its all +1 crap you wont get included in raffles anyway.

Even worse is the one site that sold Revival Chase (not the guys that actually made it) selling them separately for $49.75 each with no mention of them being booties.  Those guys can go f*ck themselves.

I thought they were selling those boots before the PCE Works set came out. That's at least how I remember it. I could be wrong.

But I still agree it's shitty for them to not mention it's a boot anywhere on the site.

Either way, it's the same product being sold at an even higher price.  Boo-urns!
