While I can't say anything about Europe, in the States the "TWO" listings on eBay for Bibi go for about $20. Cart only. Maybe it's common over there, maybe it isn't. But if that guy felt like selling it over here, it could probably fetch more than 3 euros.
I also love it when people feel they're "above" having certain games and act better than those who do. This is the internet. And these are VIDEO GAMES. Anyone that gets snobby over someone else buying a piece of plastic and circuitry is either an asshole or just has way to much time on their hands.

The game never came out in the states. You have a GER copy, so it's from Germany/Austria. So yeah, it does make them uncommon in the U.S. since its... not from the U.S...

Forgot all about Dr. Chaos. Strange I don't own it, it's not exactly uncommon, but the more I think about it, I've not seen a copy of it in ages. It's a love-hate thing for most people. A lot of reviewers bitch about things in it that plays just like Goonies II

It was a completely blind buy for me. I don't think I had ever even heard of it until throwing in a bid on an ending auction. Glad that I watched a review of it though, so now I have an understanding of how to play thru the game.

Another weekend, another trip to Goodwill. :)
So I've been going there for the last 3 weeks and they have a display case up front that hasn't had much changing stock at all. A copy of super breakout for Atari 2600, a few UMD movies cased and caseless, a few UMD PSP games (poker and sports), and some new in box PS3 Motion / Navigation controllers (about 4 sets) priced at $19.99 each.
After speaking with the clerk about them for a few minutes, I offered them $15 each for one set (Motion+Navigation). They ended up settling with me at $16 ($15.99) each, which I felt is a fair deal. I still saved some cash off of what they were offering them at and the stock isn't moving (still more sets there, obviously) so I may come back in a few more weeks and offer them less for a couple more sets.
All in all, I still think it was a decent haul.
I also picked up Starfox and Starfox 64 off EBay for $10 each. Went to Paperworks and also purchased two 50-sheet packs of Legal-size semi-gloss double-sided paper. The UGC's you see are how I'm printing my games with this new paper. TCP covers with a game-related inlay.
