Someone in Japan- WTB Phantasy Star Zero DS

[walrusmonger]

Hi everyone, long shot here-

Me and my friend are looking to get copies of Phantasy Star Zero for the DS, all the usual online places are charging $50+ for this game.

I know there are a few members who live in Japan, what is the going rate for the game? If it's $30 to $35 USD, I would be willing to pay $40 to $45 per copy for your time, plus the shipping.

If the game retails for more please let me know and maybe we can work something out.

Feedback on the forum (or an ebay user name) would also be great :)

Thanks!

I can't help you out specifically, but the suggested retail of the game is 5,040 yen. At an approximate 90 yen per dollar (guess based on last number I read), that's about US$57. Unfortunately thats the going rate for DS games in Japan.

For whatever reason the Japanese game market doesn't charge any less for their handhelds. Some games have hit in the $70 range before.

Now, if you could find someone in Japan to pick you up a used copy, it may be a hit under that. Japanese used copies tend to be in quite the tip top condition.
