Again, I've seen them go for as much as $25K new and sealed, but that was a number of years ago. Magical Chase is pretty darned rare. It's rare I see U.S. copies on ebay at all, and they're never at an attainable rate.

I almost owned this game once... Got out voted and we bought Motoroader instead... It's a bit of a sore spot these days. I would have never sold it, but I would have liked to own it.
Ebay completed listings only goes back about 3 months. So sure that's the only magical chase that sold the last 3 months, but on the years I have been on ebay I have seen TONS of magical chases included many complete in box, in recent years. Whoever paid for that copy with just case, 5 grand, well they overpaid by a lot. A LOT. who knows maybe they never paid.

Neo Geo and TG 16 people overpay the hell out of everything... Oh well. its a sickness.

things have gotten stupid in the last few years on ebay. too many NON gamers are trying to cash in on old rare video games. And I think quite a few rich investor (and foreign) types are getting into buying valuable games and most of them are stupid and clueless about classic games. Oh well.

that's the price I guess for retro gaming becoming extremely popular. I guess many people finally figured out most modern games are crap and generic compared to the golden age of gaming, the 1990's.

I also partly blame the birth of video game grading... (gag). responsible for people now trying to get way too much money for certain games.
