I saw this the other day, and did consider bidding. However, having bought far too much other stuff recently already, I'm beginning to think it's probably a suicide mission to even consider getting involved! I'm sure it'll sell for far more than I could afford to throw at it, anyway...

No idea what the last one went for. It's probably the only game on my (ever-growing) hit list I haven't seen in well over a year.

Surely! Although with all the nutty prices these days, it's hard to know. Still, given that this will now become the ‘new price’ for one – I think it’s time I scrubbed it off my want list :lol:

Crazy price on that Squawkers. Unless the top bidder was a shill, there must have been at least one real bidder willing to pay 423,000 yen for it, and that’s their choice.

Also, I have seen a lot of auctions by the seller kumachan, and most end with one bid, even some rare stuff. Doesn’t seem like a guy who would get into shill bidding. I think it is most likely there were a handful of collectors with deep wallets aggressively trying to get this PCB.

To be fair, the last auction I won from Kumachan I won for the opening bid :oops:

This just seemed almost unbelievably high, though…but I guess if enough hardcore collectors were fighting over it, anything’s possible. I always figured Squawkers was extremely rare – but not so sought after/in demand that it could command that sort of price. I guess I figured wrong.

I have seen it on many people's want-to-buy/want-to-trade-for lists this past year, but this is the first one I have seen for sale anywhere this year.

Ended at 251,000 yen. Why did someone pay more than double for it last month? :wtf: Weird stuff happens on YAJ.

Some people just 'gotta have it now' and will egregiously overbid, it's not exclusive to YAJ
