wow the sd3 sample set is damn sexy.
i'd give my last cents for this thing ;)

[databoy]

wait a sec...are these for sale?
please give me the url to the seiken3 auction,i cant read japanese but i really need this set ;)

[badinsults]

Yes, I would like the link as well... I would like to ask the seller if I can put these scans on my website...

[databoy]

ok i found it:
http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c37560201?
and its at an incredible low €66.
so heres the deal:
if you live in japan and have a yahoo.jp account and can buy this thing for me,i'll
pay you $350 for it.
sadly,this is my only option to eventually obtain this set,cause i currently dont
know any japanese with an yahoo account :(

i guess they would not understand anyway.. most of japanese people on yahoo speak very very less or zero english.. :(

[databoy]

ok,i dont think anyone wouldve bid for me anyway,but i now have someone whos gonna buy it for me,so that 350 thing does not apply anymore.
besides,i learned that these sets are relatively common in japan,so it wouldve been a total waste ;)

[Li Wang]

Yeah, that set as well as similar ones for Chrono Trigger and Romancing Saga 3 are pretty common. Definitely not really worth going over $100 for.

[rbudrick]

I will gladly pay someone $200 for that gRadius 2 proto...sigh...

while we are on the topic of rare sfc games,i was surprised how often they appear on yahoo.
i think there isnt such a big collector base for the sfc yet as there is for the fc/nes for example.thats why im currently grabbing everything i can as long as its cheap,i just love the sfc and i think in 5 years i would be really sorry if i wouldnt have bought everything already :>
here are some rare games that i found,what do you think on the prices,are they reasonable/expensive?
unfortunaly there dont seem to be many persons around that know
about the rarity of sfc games,when i checked here at dp,i was told the sfc guide is still in the works,any ideas when a preliminary version with rarity info will be released?

far east of eden zero shounen jump no shou: ended yesterday or the day before,starting bid about $1100, no bids.
this appears to be the most expensive sfc game available.
a special edition of far east of eden zero,that was probably given away at some competition.related to the japanese shounen jump magazine,the game is basically far east of eden zero,the only difference is that there is one additional building somewhere(never played it and i dont know japanese)
that has various information available on shounen jump,thats what i was told.

momotaro dx jr presents around $200 mint
a special edition of momotaro dx.
looks like it was given away as some of sort present in a commercial campaign.

sample sets of various games,relatively common are seiken densetsu3,chrono trigger and romancing saga3,around $50-$60 mint

some shitty beatem up that was given away by a noodle company if you sent
something in(a number of stickers or something included with a each noodle cup or something,i presume) i dont remember the exact name.
i noticed there are two versions of it around,one with a handdrawn image of the hero(some kind of japanese superman with a noodle pot on his head;)
on the box and one with a photograph of that hero on the box.
the carts seem to be the same however.
goes for around $5-$20 mint

there are alot of other interesting and weird accessoires available, i have however no idea whats rare and whats not. :>
