Just went to probably the best stocked game shop I've ever seen. It was in the next country over in kind of a podunk town so I was surprised when the jewel case at the door enterance was all Saturn, Dreamcast, and Turbografx. They also had a nice NeoGeo candy cab. Then I looked at the prices and they were outrageous. Like the highest Buy it Now for every game. R-Type with out the box was $59! They had seriously every good Saturn title. Panzer Dragoon Saga was $250, Radiant Silvergun $250, I didn't want to even ask how much that Snatcher for Sega CD behind the counter was. Mega man X3 over 100, The best PS1 collection I've ever seen.
I left empty handed. Not sure how they sell anything. Who would go there and buy their turbo games when they could get them BIN for cheaper off ebay?

they probably got their stuff off of ebay to begin with so they are hoping that there's someone out there who has way too much money in their pocket and wants the games bad enough that they would pay a premium to get it then and there rather than waiting for a week to get it at ebay.

I once impulse-bought a cart only copy of Chrono Trigger for $75, so it does happen. At the time it was double the eBay price.

And he's unwilling to budge from that price.  Not even for reasonable offers. That's fine....he can continue to look at it because it will never sell at that price.

I haven't been on here in years and I didn't post much when i first joined, but I'm on a turbo kick again and this site is great for that and actually not blocked by my work proxy.

How much do you guys think he could get for that at auction, I saw a game/customcase/manual combo go for around 800 on ebay in January so my guess would be 2000-2500 for a sealed copy.  I have nothing to base that on other than my gut and the January sale, just wondering what you guys think.

Ironically I was looking through someone's ebay feedback he was primarily a turbo seller and he sold magical chase loose along with one other common game for $1, I want to say that this was 06, but I'm not really sure I think I could find it again if someone is interested

IMO you're overpaying by $250. But realistically, finding DEII for less than $150 will be tricky. Cotton on the other hand could be found for less than $100. Of course, I am no expert. :)
