Japan is just done with being a foreigner picking field, time to make that eBay moneys! Can't fault the seller, they are there to make money not to make us happy with "steals".
I blame Ark, his new Turbografx released game is just as bad as Kanye in bringing obey into the light of the masses.

$450 ain't that bad. I bought mine last year for ~$500......
..... but that came with a free PC-FX, Zeroigar, Ruruli Ra Rura, Chip Chan Kick, Yuna, and a dozen other games. :mrgreen:

Can I waaaatch?!

Yeah. Japanese sellers are tired of clueless foreigners coming and picking them clean, only to see the stuff reselling for double.
I asked three different shops. They confirmed this.
They also confirmed that its sad, and stupid.
One even said, why do you buy a game to not play it. Thats not how games work.
Shortly after saying this, a white dude was ebaying on his tablet in front of us.
We looked at him, his tablet, each other, and both loled.
I scored powerdolls and miraculum for 8$ total, though.

I'm kind of bummed out by this. I see people do this shit at virtually every secondhand store in CA. Three days ago, I saw Joe Dirt walking out of the Salvation Army with a stack of Saturn games and an iPhone on eBay, giggling. It was truly horrrifying. The best title he had was Battle Arena Toshinden.
After seeing the price of 3 popular games (which I wont name because they'll go up even more) quintuple in price over the last year, I'm not surprised the Japanese sellers are also pissed. It's gotten so out of hand eBay sellers have started to also gouge on shipping; last week, a seller asked me for $10 extra "combined shipping" to include a PCE manual with a game. This was after my $5 discount. No I didn't buy it.

iirc I paid 12,000yen for my Zenki. Bought it from MediaLand about 10 years ago now. I think MediaLand gave up on games entirely in the last 5 years, and I'm not positive they even still exist. Damn I feel old.

You just need to dig deeper.
the good deals are under the streets!

Yeah, some sellers in Japan ask 14$ to ship just one PCE game.

This was for a manual for a system, and I had already bought a boxed system from the assclown, and he wanted $30 extra for the manual and $15 extra on top for the shipping. IT FITS IN THE BOX.
I told him to shove it.

Gotta go slowboat, it's the only thing that makes it worthwhile for me to import stuff anymore.

I EMS stuff because I am impatient, and don't really trust slowboat. Once it hits America, all bets are off. I'd prefer if it spends as little time in USA as possible. EMS makes it land in Chicago, and then get sent to me.
Boat makes it go to CA, and then to Chicago, and then to me.
nope
