$1,600.00 for a PCB? Huh?

Some other PCBs the seller has:

Xevious - $900
Zero Wing - $1500
Jump Bug - $1300
Sky Kid - $800
Captain Commando - $750
Double Dragon 2 - $700

Great deals, but the shipping costs are probably through the roof ...
 
It's a Japanese board so it must be in Yen. About $14.50 usd. That's more realistic.
 
glad I looked on here, I was like WTF when I saw that on ebay, there is no way that's worth it.
I picked one up as part of a bulk buy and was trying to figure out what its worth

Somebody's zero key is sticking. :rolleyes:

Back in 2009 I bought a complete working Jump Bug for $50. That's about what I'd pay for one today.

You'd have to pay me to take a Xevious or a Double Dragon II.
 
What the guy is doing is listing the item before he has the item in question in hand. This is a common practice by the many of the sellers in Japan on ebay (Whether they are french, italian or some Japanese). They get a buyer for an outrageous amount, go down to the store and buy it, profit $$$$$ without risk.

Edit: My proof is a someone I knew wanted a PCB, he saw this guy had it, I told him what store to get it in Japan directly (it wasn't a common pcb) and hours after the guy bought it, that samurai guy ended the listing early.

Seems pcbs and stocks have something in common.
