Sigh.  The game and Granzort are the two titles that interest me in a Supergrafx console.  Obviously I should've jumped on it years ago but either way, that price is straight up ridiculous.

I completed my SuperGrafx collection late last year. My copy of Aldynes cost me 13,500 yen (with a beat up cardboard sleeve), and my copy of 1941 cost me 19,900 yen (without the sleeve). I honestly feel that I got a pretty good deal on both of them given market prices.

But yeah, $300+ for Aldynes seems pretty excessive. I can see a copy for 14,000 yen from an online store in Japan, and you can probably save a good 20-30% by finding a copy on YJA.

The pricier SuperGrafx gamrs demand a premium when they have the cardboard, just like TurboChips.

I bought Aldynes with the cardboard less than 60€ 3 years ago, it was the usual asked price then.

My annual tax return splurge last year was SuperGrafx games.  I purchased 1941, Daimakaimura, Aldynes, and Granzort for less than 1941 sells by itself one year later.  I can't figure this shit out.

And that shitbag set a reserve price.

And those idiots bidding like crazy.

And Fudoh being venerated on the shmups forums.

That shit starts to really get on my nerves.

From a few months back: https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=21312

I still think it's neato but would be better 4:3, and $750 seems rather steep.

Bidding on that can make it a very expensive toilet paper

This is the brilliant part: "good for anyone that purchased theirs through other means and wants peace of mind in know that they have a receipt for it."

Brilliant.
