In years past some of the best deals I ever got were from Bill Burger. There was a time when I was ordering stuff from him on a monthly basis, some items I got I've never seen again.

Now he wants top dollar for everything case in point. Not sure if that's an actual US version or just a JPN version in blue case but either way that board looks to have been thrown through a shit storm.

I'm sad to see the deals disappear but am glad I took advantage of them when they were around. I know Burger has some mixed feedback around these parts, some love him, others think he's the devil. I never had a problem with him myself, even let me exchange boards a couple times when stuff arrived not working. Oh well, just the end of another era I suppose.

Agreed. I've noticed that he is quickly approaching KPJ status. :loco:

yeah man, his prices are definitely on the up. Could be this hobby as a hole has really taken off and he is trying to milk the cow a little more. I also noticed most of his auctions are BIN too....

Not 2004 prices by any means, but in 2008 I can't even touch a green one for that price.

Arcade games have been rising in prices in general, from seller to seller, genre to genre. just glad i got my cave games before they doubled in price, pretty much the first time i've ever done that with anything ever. by the time i ever decide to sell them though i'm sure they'll be going for $50 each. hahaha.

That's a nice snag.... I love that one. Give it some TLC and you're good to go.

Really, you think thats a fair price. I could have sold you a phoenixed one shipped for that price last week. I'm to damn poor to even touch cave, best I can do is progear.

Only the future knows where the price will be on this stuff in the distant future.
