Edit: Also, what about the digimon game on this multicart? http://auction1.paipai.com/search/0/CD8C040000000000004D3AEC07640EB6-4B99.html[/quote]I can't see if it's even Digimon there, but it is most likely Digimon 3 Crystal. (common ROM version.) Why? Because I have a multi a bit like that with V.Fame games on.

Some fellow on Yahoo Taiwan's got Capcom vs. SNK, aka that Makon fighter, and a loose cart of Crazy Monopoly for anybody who's into that great game.

Bleh, it's overpriced Sky League shit.  You're better off just waiting for a copy to show up on Ruten or something.

Digimon D-4 by SKOB http://a.m.taobao.com/i10261432531.htm?pds=fromauc%23h%23shop[/quote]Although I don't think I would bother buying most Game Boy games off of Sky League or elsewhere (just don't have enough interest in them, as a whole, unless it is the two Gowin titles I am missing), I find it funny that prices are once again being brought up.  While I personally feel that some of the Sky League stuff is a bit overpriced, some of the Game Boy stuff seems to be priced quite reasonably, imo.  Of course I can only speak from a Taiwanese perspective and not a mainland Chinese perspective though.

If you manage to find someone that has Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance games in Taiwan (and that is a feat in itself), typically the prices will range from 450 - 600 or 700 NTD, which comes out to a price of about $15 minimum, $23 tops.  Now I personally find this to not be cheap, either, but you gotta pay what the seller is asking, if you want the item.  So to do all the footwork and then sell the game for only $9 profit, seems hardly worth my while.  And thus Sky League's $32 Game Boy game is becoming more and more reasonable, in price.

Not everyone is just clearing shit from their closets like on Ruten, and more than that, the idea of super cheap Game Boy / Sega / whatever stuff in Taiwan is a lie, sort of like how $1 Famicom games in Japan is often a lie.  Not that people on here really care to know that stuff, anyway, back to complaining about prices!

Sky League prices *are* usually high though, by mainland China standards. I recently bought that exact same game for 20 CNY from another Taobao seller (and im reasonably sure neither imported it from Taiwan as those weird stretched GBA cases only seem to show up on SKOB's mainland China releases). some games are fairly reasonably priced but then you see something like this-

boxed Super Robot Wars Impact by SKOB for 1280 CNY = $208 US. Unless they literally took a flight out to Taiwan just to purchase that one game that is pretty ridiculous.

(they also have kind of a bad rep around here for selling ROMs of their own private dumps for 200 yuan each)

I have to be honest here and agree with Shazam here. I would NOT pay that much just for that game. Divide that price by 10, and that's how much I paid for mine..

But it might be hard to find sometimes.[/quote]If you're patient, you'll find an amazing deal.[/quote]This is the case for many (if not most) unlicensed games.  It's rare that one's readily available, but when one is available they don't tend to be much.  After all, I didn't pay much for my Game Boy stuff (such as the SKOB and V.Fame games) but it took some time before they showed up on the website.  Collecting bootlegs is partially a waiting game, as it took years to find some of the stuff I've collected like Zook Z but that was a mere $25.

Saw some Waixing or Nanjing crap games sell for huge prices on ebay the other day, but most of those titles can easily be bought for $20 or so.  I personally feel that it is easy to judge pricing, but on the other hand, some of the prices that people are offering to pay here for stuff is quite now, and some collectors (such as I) would rather have the item than the money, at that point.  Anyway, not going to comment on it anymore.

Also, I would recommend that you guys check out Shazam's ebay auctions:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Funblaster-Pak-by-HES-for-the-NES-Boxed-Full-of-Sachen-Games-/290936947316

Here is one item (boxed HES game), but he has several Game Boy titles up for grabs, some Sachen stuff for the NES and Famicom, etc.  There are definitely some interesting things, the prices are not crazy (at the moment), but if living abroad, the shipping seems a bit crazy.  Anyway, a lot of good stuff that someone here might be interested in.
