Only one word comes in mind when i see prices like that: Ta...bar...nak!!!
The guy who estimated the $475 price must have stepped on a banana peel
or something. I agree that having a thing in near mint condition is valuable
but this is a bit ridiculous.
When seeing these kind of prices, only one proverb comes in mind:
"A fool and his money a soon departed". Well, i'm too broke to be
a fool! LOL!!
And look at this auction:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BURGER.....53e7e8916f
or this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bandai.....19cf9a5a24
Now wished i be rich so i could be a hell of a fool!!

Definitely!!! It's on my want list as the number one of all handhelds.
But as those prices the sellers ask, i can't afford one.
Do you have one for sell or trade ?

First I looked at the usual places as well, but I found out Burger Time is not that hard to get in great condition. There is a large amount of NOS in Japan of this game, and they show up monthly on yahoo auctions japan. They mostly have a starting price of 12000-15000 Yen, but often nobody bids on them. So I was able to get one new boxed for 14000, which is 140$. Not a bad price. 45$ for the shipping, so total of 185$, still half the price americans or europeans ask for a way less good looking one. |

Hi.
Oh whoa.
It just got relisted. Now we're up to 600 bones!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120898805866
From $123.45 auction buy it now $234.56, to 595.00
Wow!
I wouldn't even say it's really a rare item, much less an extremely rare item.

@blanka: Thanks very much for the tip!
But problem is that i don't know anyone in Japan and they usually only
take Bank Transfers which is quite expensive (around $50). So add the price,
shipping plus bank transfer which totals more than $200. Still less expensive
than the ones on Ebay UK, FR, IT, US, CA, etc...
But wouldn't mind having a Burger Time with missing battery door, case
crack(s), missing parts, etc...as long as the game itself is intact (especially
the CPU and the VFD screen since those aren't replacable).
@GameWatchGuy: ??????? Are you telling us that the seller boosted up
his price around four times than his initial price and he sold it ?!?!???
Geezus! They are crazy people on this planet!
I was going to sell my Romtec Colorvision but think i'll ask $5 Millions for it...HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! (now THAT's crazy!!)

Hi.
Yea. There's a lot of wrist game watches that have horrible game play. Especially now days, there's probably only a handful that will grab your attention for more than a minute. More of novelty items.
