Haha.. Sold by me, for a member on this very forum.

[geotrig]

probably to ship all the way back across the world !

[rancor]

Nope - high bidder was Japanese.

[geotrig]

nice price for everyone so !

I love how everyone, including the Japanese, seem to think that YAJ is just a bunch of foreigners bidding against each other.

I've been tracking this for awhile, and for the Cave stuff at least, I'd estimate at least 80% of the time it is just foreigners bidding against each other. When it comes to old cardboard boxes it is at least 90% foreigners.

Surugaya just got absolutely flooded with CAVE ****:

I'm guessing a collector died, or an arcade chain just went out of biz...

Seems like it was a japanese arcade collector (alive and kicking) who sold some of his stuff. Here's a picture of the stash:



And link to the Twitter thread with more pics of the CAVE kits now available at Surugaya: https://twitter.com/bentouya/status/1035657706588106752
ケイブ基板を手放すので記念撮影をしました (Google translated to: I took a ceremonial photo as I let go of the cave substrate)

I wonder how much Surugaya paid him for that loot

This also seems to be a collector? selling all their stuff:

Items are sexy, but prices are not.

Nope, samurai07 just posts boards from Surugaya and other PCB shops and add some to the price.
Uses the same pics.

good luck with this

[Jan]

tempted to bid on this only to see how far People are willing to go

[SuperPang]

WTF.
I bought a bunch of toresetsu but eventually stopped because they're a bit useless. Should've bought a stack of Ibaras I guess.

30,000? I'm out!

[monouchi]

30k is too much...
Oh wait, people buy games with paper for $8000 and even offer more.

[Jan]

I‘ll send you a good offer once it arrives

Mate, that's just nuts though. These were $25 each sealed from rancor just a year ago. I'm sure there are loads of these floating about.
