Interest check: Rare boxed pirate games

[nintendodork]

Really?  I guess I didn't figure many people on eBay knew what pirates were

[nurd]

I think when he said that he wouldn't get it for $30, he was saying it would cost much more thatn $30 

[nintendodork]

Yeah I know, I meant that I didn't know that so many people on eBay knew how awesome pirates were

[nurd]

I'm wondering where the Somari came from

The cartridge, plastic thing, and box look near professional.

The other ones just look like pirate boxes

[nintendodork]

Yeah..it's almost like it's a real game  


Good ol' piraters

I think he had/has a contact in Hong Kong. That's the only place I've seen CIBs, with some rare exceptions in Argentina -- saw a BIC CIB -- and Taiwan -- saw a couple Chinese RPG CIBs. Since I don't like boxes and manuals, I hardly ever buy them. But, I have about five unlicensed with boxes, not counting disks like Hacker and Super Pig. The most professional are BIC's releases, which look like any licensed release.

Somehow I envy you.
Really.
I always try to convince myself that I don't need the boxes, but I'm always looking for CIB.
Cart only is so much cheaper and easier to get...

That's why I'm even interested in this Somari. The box looks very appealing.

I never understood the fascination with Somari, it plays awfully, so does SMW but I find that interesting at least to see a comparison of how a port COULD have turned out if rushed to release.

But yeah, 70 bucks for a pirate is alot to me, even if it is new it's still a bad version of a great game in my eyes.

[madman]

I got an offer of $45 for Somari...you guys think I should take this or put it on EBay?

[JC]

I think you shouldn't let it go for less than $65. I'm surprised it's not selling for more than that offer.

[Paul-FC]

put it on ebay

[nintendodork]

eBay it.  Definitely

[madman]

Looks like I'll have to..but I'll be putting a reserve on there, so if anyone thinks they're gonna get it for $3 or something, that's not happening

[FamicomFreak]

Sounds good can't wait to see what it goes for.

[L___E___T]

A reserve?  reserves are auction killers, just put a starting bid at 30 or something.

Did you decide anything on the SMW mate?
