I Purchased Sapphire!

Let me join the discussion !

Actually I'm the one who bought them in Tokyo a few years back and put up those Ebay auctions now. If you have any questions, just let me know.

Since Ebay kicked one (out of ten) of the auctions and I first want to clear things up with them, I've put up a small site where you can get the game (in case you're interested).

The adress is: http://sapphire.anime4ever.de

Please let me make clear that I sell them as what they are: Sapphire reprints of unknown origin. Back a few years Hudson mentioned that these could be "waste", something like pre-production samples or a production run rejected due to sub-par quality - not illegal, but not meant for sale either. I simply don't know.

Thanks,
Fudoh


Welcome to the forums!  Nice to see you here.  Looks like everyone is excited about your box full of Sapphires.  :)

Thanks !

I almost fainted after seeing that.  Maybe I can get a 2nd one? :)  I don't want to prevent anyone from having a chance of picking one up though.

WOW!!!!

I'm glad that everyone else gets a chance at getting one of these like I did.    We'll all be playing Sapphire in a few days.  I had *no idea* that you had this many when I said you had a lot of these.  I suspected about 5 or 10, but this just blows my mind.  :)

Thanks Fudoh!

I found a thread with comparison images.  I forgot that it was in these forums:

Frankly speaking, I really don't care "if" it's counterfeit as long as it's complete and the disc isn't the home-made CD-R.

I don't have $500 to burn on this game but who cares...... :P

I think Sylphia will be my last game to get  :D

Later last week I had the chance to borrow an "approved" original from a friend of mine and do a few comparison shots. Unfortunately I didn't have access to an original manual and my digicam is quite shitty, but it should give you an idea.

(Approved) Original always to the left, reprint to the right.



I'm on holiday now, but you can always reach me via email and a friend will take (good) care of sending the remaining games after the payment has been received. (He actually put up another one on ebay as well...)
