$18,500 USD for the Touhou Project CD-ROM

[djsheep]

And if you thought Cave cardboard was ridiculous, saw this on Twitter... fingers crossed that disc doesn't rot...

"Bought the Touhou Project CD for 1,980,000 yen ($18,500 USD). I quickly prepared after seeing news about it, and grabbed it as soon as the store opened."
(Touhou Project CD is an old rare compilation disc with the 5 PC-98 Touhou titles. Receipt is from BEEP's Akihabara store.)

In this case, thought it was just the file extension for the PC-98.

If someone else sends you $18k maybe you can finally afford the Pink Label version of Pink Sweets from the Cave Matsuri.

I heard there's an even more rare production error version where the pink is off colored because the printers had run out of magenta ink while making the kits.

Not as rare as a Yaton pube though.

Only if you're willing to underdeclare for customs.

Twitter link doesn't work. Did the dude delete his account? Trying to keep a low profile with his loli shmups, I guess.

Anyway, at some level, that's kind of cool. Is this one of those discs that isn't dumped anywhere online?

Oh... well, that was easy.

Probably not going to kick you $18k, though.

"Normal" price for the Touhou CD since years;
https://www.suruga-ya.jp/search?category=11&search_word=&adult_s=1&is_marketplace=0&rankBy=price:descending

It contains five very unique games and well.... ZUN?
Would love to buy Touhou 3 on diskette but don´t have the money
Cave is working with Zun on another Touhou game and there will be Touhou Perfect Sakura Fantastica for Arcades.
After that prices will climb up much higher...

PS
.hdi = hard disk image
Touhou ≠ loli shmups
