When you say $300, do you mean USD or Australian/New Zealand ?

I mean AUD, probably should of clarified. So that's still something like $270 USD

I'm a little north of Baltimore in Harford County.

I know those tags. Here in Maryland I've seen them at Village Thrift Stores and Valu Villages. Pretty good pick up. Do you try to hold out until Sunday/Monday to get the color sales?

Haha. You live pretty close to me (~40 miles assuming you are in Baltimore).

Too far a distance for me to travel to hit a thrift store though. :(

Hello Wiggy, Sheep has the right idea here: uncommon price for a common game. I've snagged it for the Fiancee and to add it to my scan collection.
On the other hand, the game is uncommon outside of Deutschland, so score! I will be collecting alot of uncommon games soon...
Super Dany seems specific to the French, thus I want it too ...

Does anyone know where I can find a translation guide for these Taiwanese imports.

The Rpgs are going to be almost impossible to play without one.   And it would be nice to know what was goings on in the beatem up. Even though I beat it in like 45 minutes.

GOt mored and ventured north in to Maine and went to 2 BullMoose stores. First one has to be the smallest one they have, nothing much there. Got Offspring Greatest Hits.

 2nd BullMoose....good sweet baby Jesus....I wish it was my local store. Must be 3-5 times the size of my local one, with a nice book section too.  Got FFXIII-2 Collector's Hint book used for $12

 For those that are curious, Bullmoose is a Music, Movies and Games store....Think FYE, Newbury Comics, Strawberries, Suncoast. But with a few more gimmicky gift toys and actual Vinyl records too.

Now isn't that cute....? But it's wrong!!!!!!!!

Bibi Blocksberg is very famous cartoon here in austria/germany but the games for this show are mostly worthless junk. you can get them asily on ebay complete for 10-15 Euro. On local flea markets I saw them quite a few times for a few euros. Nothing I'd ever consider adding to my collection though.
For three euros if you're really into that stuff I think it's still a good deal complete. Far far from uncommon or rare though if you get it even on ebay bin for a few euros.
2 + 3 = 23

Lot of pretentiousness around here, eh?

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.
