    Default I think this guy has people bidding for him!!!!!!

    I'm really into Dreamcast and would like to get some of these games, but some of them are very unrealistically priced. I think that either this guy has someone shilling for him or there are some rich bidders, come on $50 for Aerowings 2????
    Cheers

    Aerowings 2 is rare. Its not a total surprise to see that much. Ebay tends to make stuff cost a little more than it should, but thats not much higher than what they tend to run.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    Aerowings 2 is actually rated a 4 in the DP Guide. What's funny is that every one of his Dreamcast auctions have decent bids on them. Are Dreamcast games starting to increase in value recently?

    Dreamcast games are a dime a dozen. Well maybe not a dime depending on how much 12 CD-R's cost at your local dollar store...lol..

    I've often wondered this sometimes when bidding on items myself. So I got smart and put it on the watch list and waited a while before I bidded on it.

    I need to update my spreadsheets. DP Advance has it listed as R2, and I concur with that ranking. Not sure why it got bumped up to R4....

    $50 for this game is entirely too much, though I don't believe this is shilling. Look at 6217ben's bid history. Looks more like a n00b gone wild.

    Yeah, the prices on his games are quite high... Aero 2 is rare (I agree with an R4), but it's not particularly valuable. A lot of the other auctions he had up looked to be going for too much.

    R7 is rare.
    R4 is barely uncommon.
    R2 is quite common, and for me, every place that has DC games, seems to have this game

    Aerowings II is considered rarish, as it was one of the latter games released. I recently sold a sealed PAL version for about £28.00 GBP

    If you also search what else the bidder was bidding on, it shows he has been biding (And winning) a lot of other DC stuff from all sorts of sellers. Obviously a DC collector with a lot of cash.

    Also, if it was the only Aerowings II on eBay at the time... Depends on how desperate the guy was to obtain it.

    As I see this game, its one of the harder (harder doesnt make rare) to get DC games out there and R4 is worth it. Worth 50? Hell no. That there's no argument with. When I checked the auction last (it was riding at 30) and I could honestly see that as a going ebay rate for it.

    Sisko if ya WANT you can pick me up a complete copy if you'd like. That would be great!
