    Default Rarest Turbo Duo import item...

    Bar none.
    This is not a fluke, it generally clears 300,000 yen Yahoo Japan, and looks like it will once again.

    For some reason, TV station promos are just stupidly expensive. There's one like this for the Saturn as well.

    Dayum! $300! For an AD! Gah! And yeah, WAY rarer than Sapphire or even Darius Alpha I'd guess!

    30,000 would be just under $300.

    GAH! I was off by a decimal....and that's WAY frightening! $3000+ for an advertisement is beyond insane! I did the conversion in my head and for some reason I was thinking 30,000 yen, not 300,000! My bad there!

    But HOLY GODS. Yeah...that's THE most expensive PCE item EVER. And WHY? Why would anyone pay that? I don't get it......

    Don't feel bad Max. I took a 178,000 yen game to the register once, thinking it was 17,800 and that I was getting it for a steal. I was rudely awakened.

    As much as the PC-Engine market has died down, the diehards are still diehard. I dare say a PC Cocoron would pull in close to the same amount, even though it'd only be a CDR.

    The thing is rare, and that's the only reason it's so expensive.
