I've been a bit low on cash lately but i've finally gotten round to starting my PS2 shooter collection. I don't plan to buy every shooter for the system, however just the ones that I like and appeal to me.
The first game i've bought is Mushihimesama (new sealed original release, not Taito Best) with a poster. Next on the list is probably Double Shienryu and Espgaluda. It's becoming a real pain finding Ibara new and sealed. If anyone can help me track down a sealed copy I would appreciate it. |

Nice! Where and for how much did you get that original Mushihimesama? eBay?
The one I have is a Taito Best release. I have Ibara, but it is of course used. It is very hard to find this game new sealed because it only had one print run. Had there been a Taito Best release of this, you would have seen more original copies still existing in their shrinkwrap. |

Yeah I got it off eBay. Paid quite a bit for it as well  $99.99, but it was only $10 more than the Taito best version which didn't have a poster so I thought i'd just get it this version.
I lost a bid for a sealed Ibara this morning, it went for about $155. The one print run explains why it's not so common then  I might just get a pre-owned copy if a sealed one doesn't pop up soon. However the problem I find with eBay, peoples' definition of 'mint' is not the same as mine. Although Japanese sellers have been accurate in my past experiences. |

Dear god man. Thats way too much money. 155 for a sealed Ibara? Wow.
You should be able to get Ibara used for around 50-60, and Mushihimesama Taito Best should sell for 30-40 tops. I have seen mushihimesama sell for 60 with figurine. Please ask for price recommendations next time and I can help you find the best deal available. |

I'm not too well informed of how much games go for 
What I usually do is, I see what they roughly go for on eBay then try to get it at a lower price, unless it is in superb condition i'm willing to pay a bit more. But I do think eBay sellers want too much in general. Cheapest Ibara on eBay now is $70 and cheapest Mushihimesama (Taito Best) is $60, both used. |

Your Mushi, did you get it sealed? If so, if you get it with poster, that isn't too bad.
Another resource for these types of games is www.neo-geo.com Market Place forums. See the one titled "Everything Else". People sell cave shooters on there regularly. So you should be able to come across a few deals. Just have to keep your eyes peeled and PM any sellers as soon as you spot something. |
