    I think that's just the money they are offering you for those games. They're fucking ridiculous, total rip-off compared to Yahoo, let alone their own shop. They'll resell them for like three times that amount.

    8000yen for new releases is tough, but it still does sound affordable if you look at some Super Famicom boxes or price stickers. Most of them were retailed for 9000-12000yen at the time. :DOH:

    I remember some guy on the turbo list tried to make resellers look like cocks by posting the "price list" of Trader 2 which was, at the time, the best retro games shop. Of course, it was their buy list.

    No. You'd probably shit your pants if you knew what the starting wage for a salaryman in Tokyo versus the cost of living was.
