I guess people in Japan would pay double like 1000€ but I doubt anyone here would pay more than 500€.

I bought one with a romerror (but works fine) for 350 eur last year and I considered that a steal. A nice clean PCB is 600 euro minimum imo. Most of the system 1 PCBs look like **** so if you have a clean one charge premium for it.

No idea if it's relevant outside of Japan...but the 'New Version' of Dragon Spirit seems to often sell/be listed at higher prices than the 'Old Version'.

From memory, I paid about £440 for a 'New version' here about a year ago. However, that included shipping from Sweden, PayPal fees and whatever awful conversion rate PayPal gave me from GBP to SEK. So, the board itself was probably equivelant to 430-440 EUR or so. That said, I considered that a good price - as I'd seen one sell for quite a bit more on KLOV around the same time.

Probably KLOV and Neo-Arcadia would be your best bets to get the highest price :)

I’m not looking for the highest price. Don’t worry I don’t need money ;)
For example I bought here a namco game at the highest price ;) if I remember it was 550£ so 610 euros without shipping and paypal fees and commissions euros to £ :lol:
If I want the highest price it’s better to sell it on eBay. I don’t play anymore. So good if it’s possible to make anyone happy.
I just want to avoid to sell it to a **** who will try to sell it 3 days later in Japan for 1000€ :)
Cheers,

I doubt it would be worth their time (unless they are already living in Japan). There are only a couple of people who would sell an item for you in Japan. By the time you ship it to them (insured), pay them their cut, payment conversion fees. You're essentially getting the same price (if not less) ;)

Haha if you’re talking about Splatterhouse, I walked into that one ;)

Yeah, I’ve never sold anything on KlOV or Neo-Arcadia myself. And I agree - more important to know it’s going to a good home :)

If I didn’t own it already, I’d probably want it for sure!

:shifty: send an item to Japan for sell it oh no :) I don’t take any risks it was just an example like grinning said -more important to know it’s going to a good home .

I remember I sold a batsugun for 400 with artworks and one week later sold for 800 euros :mad: :mad:

Soon with brexit for buy from or sell to uk it will be hard to avoid customs fees :cry:

Man, that really sucks regarding Batsugun :( You should have sold it to me! Batsugun is super-high on my wish list - and once I get a copy, I definitely don’t plan on selling. Haha I plan to take it to the grave ;)

Yeah, pretty depressing stuff :( Sadly, our country seems to think the economy is a Yagawa game – and wants to suicide it as soon as possible.

Any ideas on a Konami salamander pcb? I know one has been for sale here at 600 for a long time, so I know it's worth less than that at least!

Thanks!
