GL. If I see some available listings
I will PM the links to you.
I believe I sold my Gunbird 2 board for $250 earlier this year.
That's not a bad price. GB2 has been around $140-$200 on YHJ for the past few years. I could see someone paying that if they didnt want to wait for one to pop up on YHJ and deal with fees, shipping or bidding wars.
+/- $200 boards it's really just market noise with +/- $20-$40 swings. %10-%20 swings is alot of the time people just recouping or forfeiting cost (at least on ebay).
I got a strikers 1999 off YHJ beginning of the year. I payed 20,000 ¥ and I was the only bidder. the listing was available for months with no takers until i just threw money at it. Another boards was listed a week later and sold for 15,200 ¥ with 20 bids.
It really depends on your timing and who else is following the same listing.
Dragon Blaze's price Swings a whole hell of a lot. Some times no one is looking. I've seen them sell a few months ago for 46,000 ¥. And I've seen money fights and it the sells For 78,000 ¥.
I thought about buying a Dragon blaze several times, but I always decided against it becasue I would have been buying it
just to have. I would rather spend time getting better at GB2 and striker 1999. Those two being the only Psikyo games I care to own.
Cool game design. The circle bullet patterns mixed with super fast homing bullets always frustrated me and I would rage quit for GB2.
Yeah, they're definitely appreciating slower than most shmups, but going up nonetheless.
IMHO they are not appreciating at all, or barely becasue they where undervalued. They are more constant. Someone would have to avoid fees and still pull the same price just to get their money back. Terrible
investment. Sorry prospectors.
I don't see much reason to change your buying decisions between 2019 and 2020.
