Not the worst price I've seen for an SMRPG soundtrack nowadays, actually not bad compared to prices of ¥ 100k and beyond for this album in slightly better condition.

Not nearly as expensive as some of the other CDs listed here recently, but a few months ago I snagged the Ace Combat 2 Original Soundtrack off of Yahoo Auctions for 34,000 yen. Seems to be fairly rare. Not surprising, considering it was a Japan-only special edition goodie. Took me well over a year to stumble upon a copy, and the case was scuffed to heck and back. The CD and everything were in great condition, luckily, but I can't help but wonder what a copy that's virtually pristine would go for.

Also, if you read the negative feedback comments from any of these types of sellers, a decent amount is about the item being defective/non-working. Being charitable, I'm sure some of them are buyers not being aware of regional differences so it's their own fault for not doing their research. I'm also sure some of the claims are valid. Think about it. You set up a script to automatically convert Yahoo/Mercari/Rakuten listings into eBay listings. There's absolutely no way to personally confirm the item conditions of 1000s of items (and in some cases, tens of thousands). Hence the negative feedbacks about non-communications from sellers. And your script probably can't differentiate between junk/non-working items and used/working items. So what ends up happening is defective items being sold as working. So there will be the inevitable refund which I assume will just be considered a "cost of doing business". Last edited by layzee; May 10, 2022 at 05:07 AM. |

I'd say this one won't hold it's value anytime soon. Considering the 10% Yahoo sales fee, the seller will take a big hit anyway. A realistic price would be around the 150k Yen mark imo.

Either way, I find it highly insulting to sell something at such a price without more detailed photos of every part of the set, and photos of any defects, even small ones that are hard to see without the right lighting/angle.
I make more detailed photos for my 10$ PS3 sales. |

137k Yen for a SMB3 LP. Not as much as I would have expected but still a solid price. Last edited by suicider; Jul 10, 2022 at 07:58 PM. |

Another expensive CD. Well known composer, quite rare and in complete condition (though the obi looks a little damaged but maybe it's just the pictures).
51,000 Yen for Star Command https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/l1056390449 |

yes obi damaged (see photo 5) and the spine part is sunfaded, blue turned to green

I know it's not going to sell, but the fact that someone has a face thick enough on Yahoo is sad enough. When Yahoo turns into eBay, well, sad sad.
https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/x1057086372 this is even worse, the thing has just been sold out on preorders and voila, triple price for ya https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/p1057049708 more like 'Frontier Spirit of Scalping' |

Whenever I buy new VGM factory sealed I never open it and find it online and download FLAC or MP3 files. I wrap it in shrink wrap, second layer of wrapping paper, and third layer of aluminium foil. Just wait long enough over several decades and these albums WILL increase in value significantly. I mean a sealed copy of the original NES Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Brothers both sold a while ago for around US $1,000,000. Keep these things long enough and preserve in their original state and my great grandchildren will be multimillionaire...

Because of market manipulation that artifically drove the prices up, yes.

A copy of Dragon Quest Special just sold for 72,000 yen, without obi:
https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp...on/o1060768531 It is a pretty rare album, but I was surprised at the price. |

Dang, 82 bids. There must have been a bidding war in the last few minutes.

tbh a lot of these are just impassioned bidding wars between people with way too much disposable income and once the same item pops up again it often doesn't go for anywhere close to the same amount.
