No way someone is selling a legit sealed Dracula X for $100.

Are prices THAT HIGH? I'm so glad I'm done hunting for legitimate copies of games I want to play.

It seems it will cost you at least $150 for a CIB copy without the spine.  I don't even know what a sealed copy would go for.  I'm guessing at least $300.

Just buy Drac X on the Wii Virtual Console and be happy.

I am happy.

How much did they "hit" you up for to relinquish that to you?

This is probably it...

Asking $280 with free shipping but OP probably made an offer.  Wonder how much?

Getting a sealed Drac X for less than $100 is...not easy, and really never has been. Even when it was new most importers were charging $90-100 for it. It's never been an expensive game but it has never been cheap either.

I offered 220$ to Hit Japan and he accepted. But I also made offers to him for 4 more games offering 20% -30% less than his "Buy it now" price and he accepted all of them. Had all games EMS shipped for 25$.

220$ is not cheap but it sounds reasonable considering I trust him for his description for the games. He also ships next day and makes very strong packing.

I also bought one a few months ago from Hit-Japan with a $220 offer.  He was asking $300

It arrived absolutely mint.  I've always had good experiences with them.

I still have to receive my copy. It has stuck in customs or lost. It has been almost one month since it left Japan by EMS  :-k
There were five more PC Engine games in that package

Received my Castlevania X today. Very happy with the condition. Tested my Duo R CD rom player for the first time and works flawlessly.

Introduction is in German? WTF? I was expecting to hear Japanese...
German reminds me of PC Engineworks. I hope this is not a bootleg made in factory from pro bootleggers

It's not German, it's Germongo.
