    I think I'll see where this goes. Radiant SIlvergun Store Display Disk for sale, full game $120

    but before I say anything else look what someone else claims to have respectfully wrote:
    OMG *cries* What a horrible thing someone has gone and said about me without even knowing what price was being discussed. $100 less than these usually go for. I hope that kappas go after him while he sleeps because Corey never said that at about me, nor is it implied under being absent.

    Those were all the completed auctions for RS I found. This guy's here to keep the peace.

    Pictures? Are you even going to describe what condition it's in? From what I understand, the one you have is disc only. With it being disc only I would give maybe... $50 for it.

    let's see mint RSG goes for somewhere around +/- 10000 yen on YJ so I'd say about half of that would be a good figure... 5000 yen equals about $49...

    I'd say about $45+ mark would be the good point to start...

    Do you own a playable RS copy already? I was looking at it yesterday and noticing there was not a scratch anywhere and how it looked brand new. It comes in a case. It originally came case only like this sealed sample seen here http://img133.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/8/6/3/9/itutudama-img600x450-1083213817dx.jpeg

    I don't know too much about demo and sample discs, but it just seems to me like you are asking quite a bit for a game that doesn't come with a manual, back insert, and spine card (like all those in the auctions). I think the only copies of RS that sell for that much are the ones that come with all that stuff. I heard the demo discs are usually cheaper.

    Again, I would probably give $50, but that's me. You may find someone who is willing to pay more, but if you can't my offer is a serious one (if you don't want to consider eBay). If you do end up putting it on eBay, plz post the link as I may throw in a bid or two.

    Yeah maybe the person who it goes to matters to me, and whether they enjoy it. Maybe they do come with the paper parts I don't know, but I was under the impression that they didn't after seeing that pic that Sega_Freak_NL posted his too with 8 other samples plus this one case only, that and all the ones of other games on YJ I saw were that way. most those ebay auctions are in pounds and it might not sound a lot but it does gets up there above $200 if you don't find a low bin. I never claimed price wasn't negotiable, no one asked. $120 was only the mysterious price from before and that was the offer I recieved (not asked) before communication fell off. None of the retail vesions with inserts are selling that low and the inserts don't appear to be part of that sample set, who knows. I'm not really going to be concerned about it and could really at this time. Also the sample set disks couldn't possibly been printed in higher numbers than the retail version I only wanted to say.

    You know what your problem is Teo. You think you are a victim of everything. From GaijinPunch somehow ruining your deal to Paulo picking on you for no reason to me for giving my opinion. I've been reading all the threads you've dragged this onto and the only thing I've consistently noticed about your posts is that you (a) never think your wrong and (b) are a prick to anyone that says something that runs contrary to what you think. You have managed to annoy quite a few people in the short time you've posted here. Did you perhaps ever consider the reason is you?

    no that's how demo disc came in...
    sample disc is not demo disc but full game in full retail packaging but for shop display/etc. and generally not for resale to public...

    it seems there's misconception that sample disc is demo disc...
    for Saturn and DC at least this is NOT the case... :p

    this sample disc missing the insert and the manual is NOT complete...

    Anymore childish crap from people will get this thread locked if i dont lock it now...

    Also be abit more grown up if your going to sell something then do it properly and dont drag all the crap from the other locked thread into this.

    Also people stop posting live ebay auction links outside the ebay thread!

    this looks like sample disc though I don't think the jewel case is what this one came in originally...

    all saturn demo disc I saw came in clear jewel case with either front insert or none... sample disc I saw so far always complete retail packaging with the only difference being the sample printed on the inner ring...

    it looks like I should've sold my copy for much higher price if this thing is worth $100... :p

    just because someone puts it on ebay for that much doesn't mean it is worth that much.

    I am not interested in further response, or further offers. as it is the interested parties have been notified, therefore future postings will have no longer a purpose here and it should likely be closed. it is wise to take into consideration who might be interested in enjoying this game, I think.. This has been considered.

    That is a charming hand grenade, but the pin's missing, I think. From looking at manuals used in college writing courses, and from listening to participants in writing workshops, I gather, that it is a generally recieved idea that story is the relation of conflict, that without conflict there is no plot, that narrative and conflict are inseparable. And that comes into play when looking at the STORY of what is going on here.

    Now that something has to happen in a story, I agree ( In very general, broad terms; there are, after all, excellent stories in which everything has happened, or is about to happen). But that what happens in a story can be defined as, limited to, conflict, I doubt. And to assert the dependence of narrative on connflict is to uphold that notion in all its glory, I sadly suspect.

    And what again, failure often allows us to analyze what success triumphantly hides from us. I do not reccomend it for the soul purpose of it in itself. A rarer kind of failure is a story in which the words go careering around bellowing and plunging and kicking up a lot of dust, and when the dust settles you find they never got out of the corral. They got nowhere,
    because they didn't know where they were going. Feeling, idea, image, just got dragged into the stampede, and no story happened. All the same this kind of failure sometimes strikes me as promising , because it reveals a writer reveling in pure language = letting the words take over. You can't go on that way, but it's not a bad place to start from.

    The modesty and candor of that reply is an essential element of its meaning, I think. Yes and now you're entering one of those fog shrouded literary minefields where the wary explorer gets blown to bits before ever seeing anything clearly . It is full of barbed wire and the stumps of dead opinions. It has been a no-man's ever since the first Ebay users blundered into it all those years ago.

    Now when I, the writer, reread what it is I've wrote to you and settle down to reconsider it, reshape it, revise it, then my consciousness of the reader, of collaborating with the reader, is appropriate and, I think, necessary. Indeed I may have to make an act of faith and declare that they will exist, those unknown, perhaps far foreign folks, my dear denizens. The blind beautiful arrogance of this relatonship must grow suble, self conscious, clear-sighted. It must ask questions, such as: Does this say what I thought it said? Does it say all I thought it did? It is at this stage that I may have to question the relationship to my readers, as manifested in what is my writing. Am I shoving them around, manipulating them, patronizing them, showing off to them? Am I punishing them? Am I using them as a dump site for my accumulated psychic toxins? Am I telling them what they better damn well believe or else? Am I running circles around them, and will they enjoy it? Am I scarring them, and did I intend to? Am I interested in them, and if not, hadn't I better see to it that I am? Am I amusing, teasing, alluring them? Flirting with them? Hypnotizing them? Am I giving them, tempting them, inviting them, drawing them into the work to work with me - to be the one who completes the circle because it cannot do alone.

    The person posting, then is trying to get all the paterns od sounds, syntax, imagery, ideas, emotions, working together in one process, in which the reader will be drawn to participate. In this effort individuals need all the help they can get. Even under the most skilled control, the words will never fully embody the vision. Even with the most sympathetic reader, (*scanning horizons*) the truth will falter and grow partial. Writers have to get used to get used to launching something beautiful and watching it crash and burn. They also have to learn when to let go control, when the word takes off its own and flies, farther than they ever planned or imagined, to places they didn't know they knew. And with out further adue, that is all, I think.
