Ok, I thought it might be a fun thing to keep each other posted on MSX auctions on eBay/Yahoo Auctions/Marktplaats/whatever that are worth checking out. Naturally, these auctions can be classified with three types of R-ratings

Rare, Ridiculous (highly priced) and Recommended

now, I do realize a lot of you bargainhunters would like to keep those 'recommended' auctions to yourself, so this is probably going to be a 'cor, look at those high prices'-topic. Equally fine with me.

I'll start with the first auction

Rare: Aleste 2, including papercraft, sticker and postcard (are those disklabels really black&white? :/)

who's next?

Ok, I'll throw in a free Ridiculous thread as well. Anyone care for Metal Gear 2, for a mere $439,99 ?

But shipment costs are included, you have to consider that.

I always wonder if people know that they are buying imitations:

I was once trying to order Space Manbow him, and luckily he said that it isn't the original one. So, it doesn't feel like a complete rip-off, because he tells how the things really are without tricking.

Not that I'd want to have that game (or the Frogger too). :P

Huey - WTF, that is some nasty stuff indeed :/ Perhaps we should introduce the rating Rip-off as well?

@akiguchi - Perhaps the seller is in for a "2 for the price of 1"-deal? ^_^
