True. The most important price for future market value is the third-highest bidder's price, barring new people entering the market or price expectations changing.

it's like always the same 5 albums that are listed for lolzi prices
donkey kong whatever, super mario rpg and a bunch of others

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/q1061435379

for 200,000 yen i expect it to be flawless, i know it's an old item and all, but if you can drop 200,000, wouldn't you want to wait for a perfect copy? it's not like they don't show up, at least a good copy every, i don't know, 2 years?

Yeah that's the other thing, a lot of these albums aren't even *that* rare seeing as there's usually 3 or 4 listings up at any given time. At those prices you'd think they'd be like Elemental Gimmick Gear or Evergrace levels of almost non-existent, but they clearly aren't.

Those Nintendo albums are only so expensive because of the allegedly very limited print run they had, in comparison to the high demand they create (it's Nintendo ). Noone cares for the Elemental Gimmick Gear soundtrack (except us), because noone ever played the game. I bet an auction on eBay for the EGG soundtrack would turn out as a disaster for the seller.

I predict a very high price for this vinyl:

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/1061387269

Edit: never mind, it only brought 14,501 yen.

Whew, someone must have wanted this album very hard. What the hell is going on? 53,055 Yen final price

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/n1065829618

It already sold some days ago for 12,800 Yen (link) which I thought was quite expensive... I bought a complete copy some weeks ago for 3,200 Yen

Edit: lolz and one week later there's the next offer for 50k Yen

Considering there's only 50 copies I would've expected a higher price but that's a lot to spend on a CD-R

I never would have thought I'd ever see one, and certainly not on ebay

Looks like the same copy as what's been up on Mercari for a while (or someone just stole that listing's photos).

Foolish to buy now that Takenouchi has said he's going to do a pressed CD (non-CD-R) version in the future.

Apparently, Maxell want 20% of the price as manufacturer's fee for that lovely cd-r

I should've said it would be a reasonable price if it wasn't a CDR, would never consider buying that album and it doesn't surprise me it's a duplicate listing either.

It's great that they are planning on printing a pressed version.

Indeed incredibly how fast it spiked in price.

I recently wondered what's up with this CD?
https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/f1072404769

I'm not into Touhou, probably this is some first print kinda stuff. But the price is beyond good and evil

They actually got a helluva deal on it, considering what it has sold for in the past, and what Suruga-ya's asking price is for it: ¥3,280,000! Thought that's still a ridiculous price to pay for literally any CD.

It should be noted that the version with the black label is eminently more affordable. Like 20-30 USD.

Another one of these just sold for 1,200k Yen. Which is just a mere 400k less than the last one. Weird prices

Interestingly, the one that sold last week was a fluke. Someone bid and then didn't communicate with the seller, so they weren't able to collect the money. This is the same seller relisting it. Hopefully for them the person who bid this time actually pays them.

This looks incredibly easy to fake compared to a "real" mass-produced album. Can't believe nobody's done it already.

Yeah, it's just a CD-R. I wouldn't be surprised if several fakes have already been made and sold. I sure wouldn't risk that much money unless I bought from a seller with impeccable provenance going all the way back to the original purchaser who got it right from that first convention (or whatever it was) that ZUN sold it at.

91k Yen in the end. At least it didn't get pushed anymore. But I wonder if the buyer even read the description? The records are rated D which is the second lowest rating according to the seller. In other words just right before the junk bin. Ys II was even missing the insert.

People just have too much money, really. There's no other explanation

Nothing. Plenty available for cheap here.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B000058AAW

That copy is sealed, but that's it. That seller is a bit too optimistic, I think.

Is the 2nd print run of Super Metroid Sound In Action considerably more rare than the 1st print? The price difference is quite huge imo considering the just 1 day distance between the two auctions below.

Maybe a guy who had the 1st print and was tired of waiting? In my yahooing, I would say both are very scarce. But it fact I know from my PS1/2/3 collecting that some reprints are much scarcer (also much less desirable). I think this kind of reprint that is close in time to the original print has a very high chance of being a smaller total print run.
