    Hagane.......€550.......cart only :eek::D

    One of those that sees the boxed version for €800 and thinks 'Oh well it's worth a bit less without the box or the manual so I'll put it at that', not realising the box and manual are what makes the boxed version expensive.

    Also the only rare version of that game is the US version since it was a blockbuster exclusive making it and, even more so, the box insanely hard to come by. the Japanese game is easy to find and was going for about 20 about 3 years ago. The European version got a normal retail release and is hardly rare.

    It's a shame Japanese games are finally starting to go up in price, I guess it was inevitable in the end.

    Annoyed I never got a copy of Demon's Blazon when the going was good.

    Ya the European version certainly wouldn't be considered next to the US version in terms of rarity, but it's still a pretty uncommon game, and released in 1995 more than likely got a slightly less limited run. But all versions of it certainly got bumped when the US version's exclusivity got a lot more well known in collecting.

    I own the European version, bought it off adverts for 60 a few years back

    ^ Seems like a fair price, especially for a buy it now. Auctions go for 80-100. SFC version goes for 40-50 pounds.

    Ya a 100 is a fair enough market price for it now.

    The seller on adverts fell into that 'missing the box and manual so it's only worth a bit less' trap. Most even very rare games are attainable, it's the box and manual that will mostly allude people.

    Same here, that game escaped me too. I think I'm up to about 70 sfc games now, it's getting harder to get pick up cib games in nice condition. I definitely remember someone on here picked up a cib Demon's Blazon, it would have been a while ago now.

    Hahahahah thought for a second he forgot a decimal point somewhere but nope. No doubt some folks are paying over a ton for them (crazy in itself) but he's no chance selling it for anything like that.

    Like I said elsewhere, the NES mini is worth the asking price and not a cent more. Madness!

    I know you don't venture outside A&R but the Nintendo forum is being bolstered by the Mini thread. So many new faces because of it.

    Yeah, we were playing Raiden DX last night.
    Also, PSP stuff runs nicely too, although it's not as optimised, Darius Burst runs a treat but Loco Roco drops frames now and again

    Not a mention of it in the advert blurb too :D I guess it's not really necessary with the photos!

    Poker boards really are evil when it comes to the amount of CRTs they've destroyed.

    I know its a Wii but had to post.
    https://www.donedeal.ie/games-for-sale/wii/14174924

    I sent a message asking if it was a typo 400 instead of 40 just waiting on a reply.
    I don't understand how people can overvalue items to such extremes.
