Seems that there are not that many options when it comes from Indonesia - yes, Bima is the correct answer... :shifty:

I wouldn't buy a Gunnail for $200 if it came from Indonesia.

It’s hard to value a lot of older shmups as hardly any come up for sale, but IMO €350-450 or £900 next month

It's funny because it's true :lolno:

I agree, though, 450 EUR sounds about right for a nice one with seals (ROM rather than Navy).

In Japan 1000€.

In Europe 400€
In Japan 1000€.
Ahum... I disagree here about the Japan "value".

There has been one offered in the YAJ quite a long time for 50000 Yen ~425 Euro (was there still about 12 hours ago when I browsed around) and it has not sold. One open auction in YAJ for In The Hunt ended around 4x000 Yen two weeks ago. For this year the open auction YAJ prices have been around 30-40kyen, if I recall correctly. A good game, but actually not very rare.

Of course, if you buy from Japan, you'll end up having some more costs from possible proxy, shipping and customs.

More or less all games released before 1994 are like half or even less the price in Europe compared to the shops in Japan.

Yeah, but also a big question goes: what is the real selling value... What I have noted is that some (especially Japanese) sellers keep their huge prices from year to another and nobody buys and stuff doesn't move. Imo, value in price tag is not real until it sells well with that price.

Agreed, Japanese shop price isn't indicative of value.

https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsear ... 2084047781

Six boards sold for 34,500 to 57,000 JPY (295 to 485 eur) in the last four months.

There was nothing wrong with the one that sold for under 300 euros.

Where were you getting a thousand euros again?

tops, beep, surugaya etc

And if you are using a proxy and pay VAT of 20% and etc you end up 30-40% higher.

However I do not understand people prefering the Japan Version of PCBs. They are all 60hz and not PAL. :lol: (yes I know some are different)

Tops has one for 98,280 yen, which is 840 Euros, not a thousand. And Tops is always far higher than any other shops.

I checked BEEP and Suruga-ya but they don't have one in stock. I highly doubt either of them (especially BEEP) sold one for such a high price.

It's the prestige of being associated with Glorious Nippon, but to be honest I think it starts that there are **** western versions of certain games that lead a lot of collectors to conclude that all western versions are ****.
Well good luck reading your moon language.
