Yeah it's ebay but damn those prices are 4 to 5 times what it was a year or two ago.  I believe I sold my copy with registration card for $45.  I was thinking of buying it back, but now I bet elsewhere is following suit of rediculous ebay BIN's.  Is this the new "fad" mega rare megadrive game?

Wtf indeed.

Slimy a$$holes trying to sell their repros for the price of a real JP cart. These f*ckers deserve a beating with a metal bat.

[TR0N]

Wtf indeed for the price going up on pulseman

Yeah, the MD kind of bombed in Japan.  All the late releases for it had low print runs and are getting pretty scarce.  Also see: Rockman Mega World, Alien Soldier, Twinkle Tale, and even stuff that's common in the US like Hard Corps and Comix Zone.

I also slept on Pulseman and regret it =[

That seems to be the case with japan only release for the a MD.Few times i wanted to buy a original copy of pulseman,but i put it off at this point i would just settle for a reproduction instead.

Blame Europe

Blame Europe

Word.  Even ebay prices in 2013 for pulseman were in the 50-60 range.  I put it also on the uneducated (again) and all the repro a$$holes making it look like a rare title.  People also need to learn late releases doesn't always mean rare / low print run.

Europe: where videogames go do die

Just out of curiosity (and since I'm dumb), what's the deal with Europe?

That's where France is located, therefor it sucks.

You know, I used to think that the folks who paid $$$$$$ for rare Atari carts were crazy (back 10-15 years ago).

But, to be honest, those Atari folks weren't nearly as batsh@t insane as the folks now, who are are (1) less knowledgable and thus (2) more easily manipulated and duped.

Or, maybe I'm wrong and goofy Atari collectors were at the forefront of everything that we see today.

Anyway.... I still enjoy my library of 2600 carts.

Not just MD but U.S. Genesis stuff, specifically CIB items, have been spiking recently.  This has me worried that a I won't be able to afford Genesis stuff in the near future.  Needless to say, I have been trying to nab up every CIB Genesis game on my want list recently.
