I acquired numerous sealed DC shmups in a trade over at GameTZ a few months ago, and I finally replaced one of the sealed ones with an opened one thanks to Coryoon.

Here I am offering up a factory sealed copy of Border Down. I would say it's in 9/10 sealed condition, with one tiny crack in the plastic on the back casing, though the seal is not broken.

Pictures:

and yes I realize these aren't the best pictures, but I will SCAN the front and back for much more detail a little later today. I'm just looking to see what kind of interest there is in this. I'd be looking to sell, or trade for something huge off my want list here:

If no one is interested, I'll take it to eBay and see what it brings me. :-) Thanks for looking!


EDIT: Scans added!

Bump for you. The posts you have in certain forums don't count, like the Market, War Room, etc. so maybe that's why

I'd be interested, depending on the price. I wouldn't pay sky-high eBay prices but I'd be fair.

I had no idea there was even going to be a reprint, or I wouldn't of traded for this in the first place - or paid $130 2 weeks ago for a used one.

"Did you know they were going to reprint this?" would of been more helpful than your smug remark. Choke.

Neither I Frank, and if it makes you feel better, you paid 115$ plus "insane Canada Post" shipping for a mint prestine copy which was a good price I think :)

Oh I figured you didn't know either. I was just making a point to the jackass above who decided to talk down to me to make me look bad in my thread.

But thanks go to CADMAN2K for giving me a little more information on the reprint. :)

Uncalled for.

Don't fucking hijack selling threads.

Agreed. There's no reason to be an ass and screw the selling thread with that. There's nothing wrong with trying to sell a game and even if a reprint is coming it shouldn't effect the value of the 1st printing, nor will it make it cheaper to find and ship from japan.

Thank you TonK and D-Lite.

The item is officially up for auction now. The reserve is $200 (I didn't really know what to put it at, but appraisel via Sealed Games forums told me $180 to $225, so if I get $200 it'll cover all my fees and I still clear $180). The buy it now price is ridiculous and I don't expect to get it. :)


I will end the auction and trade this for a Super Grafx Bundle (preferably with 1 hard to find game and a common or 2 and a system in excellent condition)

From reading that article, looks like the reprint will only be available at Messe. It'll likely have some method of differentiating it from the first print, so it wont affect the First Print's value too much.

I also have a sealed copy... maybe I should try and cash in too. hahahaha

180? You couldn't get that a few months ago.

Yours went for a crazy low price. Hopefully the bidder won't pay for it and you will have another go at it.

I think you'll sell it quickly when everyone will realise that they won't get any copy of the reprint no matter how hard they try. This isn't a normal re-release and I'm pretty sure it won't affect the curent going price at all. I even think that the new buzz arround this game will make the prices increase again.

I had a few sealed game collector's look at it and tell me $180 was the median price to shoot for, so that's what I was hoping. If I have to I'll just sit on it and hope to trade it down the road for something I need. Got about $10 total into listing fees, so maybe I'll shoot lower at $160 and go from there. Will at least cover my listing fees, pay for the opened one I got, and I'll make $20.

Well that was depressing.


Hoping to get $180 shipped for this.

I don't know who told you that was the value. A lot of collectors won't even look at a sealed jewel case game that has a crack in it. I know I won't. $100 doesn't seem to be an unreasonable price for this particular game in this condition.

Well I know this is worth at least $130 - that's what a complete, mint one is worth. I was just hoping to grab a bit more since it was sealed.

It's alright. I'll just wait and hope for a good offer sometime somewhere. :-) Not like I'm dying to move this. Just was selling it since I got an opened one.
