    its almost never on ebay and when it does it reaches 140 dollars or about 100 pounds lately and is near impossible to find cheaply i think it had a LIMITED PRINT RUN ! could it be just as Rare as Magic Knight Rayearth ? I think it is or could just be ! i am lucky to own a copy of this Rare Mr.Bones game

    Man, I never got the appeal of either Mr. Bones nor MKR. I have both, and they both seem like mediocre games that have been hyped up due to exclusivity and being uncommon. That said, I dunno if the PAL copy of Mr. Bones is any more rare than the US copy, but I would say that it's not worth the prices you listed.

    It is much rarer then a US copy i am always seeing US copys everywhere but PAL version is almost always never there I believe the PAL version wipes the floor with both the JPN and US versions combined in rarity

    Dude... Virgin Megastores stocked on this one beyond comprehension.
    I always got told it was a crap game, it isn't rare at all.

    Mr Bones sat on the shelves here for a long time. I can remember seeing new copies as late as 2001 in gamestation and they couldn't sell. I imagine the stock that they couldnt sell is sat in a storage unit somewhere waiting for them to be bought wholesale and flood the market.

    Mr Bones is a really shit game, rare or not. As for Magic Kinight Rayearth, well that is a fine RPG that is great fun to play in Japanese but the US release is so bloody annoying thanks to the poor dubbing, crap local slang text and I'm sure they cut stuff as well.

    only 15000 were manufactured in 1998 its safe to think that somewhere between 5-10 thousand still exist but it is rarer then most games
