Cart only, drift sells here for about $8-9 and the listings for skypatrol that are actually bought average $20-25 (a few BiNs @ $25 and one just ended around $20 last night that i'd been watching to see how much people would realistically pay for it)
TBH, none of the GG imports except MAYBE GG Aleste and Power Strike II/GG Aleste 2 are super rare, while on the other hand some US games such as Megaman, Tails Adventures, and Shining Force Sword of Hayja are legitimately hard to come by, though way more GG games are harder to find CiB due to both the cardboard boxes often being thrown away and the lack of popularity for the system.
