YAJ B-man Users Battle

Did anyone catch this? 5,500Yen for a PCE w/ pad and some games is fair, but a User Battle too?! Isn't that one of the sought after rarez?

(I had some financial hiccups earlier this week so I could not pounce on it, just bad timing for me).

I don't know if user battle is rare or not, but 5500 zenny seems pretty decent for a system and a couple games..... at least until fees and shipping factor in.

I think Giant Bomb uses AI to self create articles from scouring the webs...but that could just be me. I knew of the Users Battle version from Cyril's past posts on forums, with his bragging about possessing the rarez. I never bothered to look further since I'm not in the game of blowing $ on expensive collectibles. All the recent on-line searches seemed to just have the same regurgitated details (i.e. "only 1000 made", "used in kiosk demos"). We might need to find an original primary source...
