$20 is market on it right now, yeah. Buy nows are $30-45, auctions go for $12-25.

that's kinda what i thought, it didn't strike me as an incredible deal or anything when i saw it. still, the one posted above is in really great shape so i'm not trying to deter from the find

Not a problem, it was a 1-day auction so the price couldn't be driven too high, up until an hour till it ended it was at $5.50 (which would be amazing) but a few people tried driving up the bid in the last 10 seconds from $10 to $17.50 (I only said $20 cuz it's a $3 ship), so if you look at the fact that it was $17.50, it's still pretty nice, and looking at eBay again, there is a copy that is starting at $20 but it's a stock photo so you can't see the quality of the item, and the price goes up to around $70-$80 for mint now if you search for it, I thought for that kind of quality on a used item with the original case art and no labels or stickers on the case or manual, it's pretty stellar.

Prices used to be a lot higher for this game a few years ago...

Oh well, I still think it's a great find...

I don't wanna know Just glad I didn't have to go all like $40-$50

It's a fine price and a great game. The buy now's are always distracting and can add to confusion about a games value. It's def. not selling for $60-70, unless sealed and/or graded.

I think aaron was more or less asking if the game has gone up and should he grab the copy at the local store, etc.

A quick ebay search shows its selling anywhere from $13 plus shipping at auction, and as high as $40 on buy nows. If your happy, and you should be, you didn't overpay or anything, and it's in nice shape, then it's good.

exactly. $20 for a copy of a great game in that great of shape is well worth it. the one at my store has a yellowed (ew) insert and the case is all beat up.

As long as the disc is good and it still has its case, I'd snatch that $20 copy you had. This is from what I've seen one of the most highly regarded shmups of all time, and if it's a pseudo-sequel to Radiant Silvergun (which I'm really enjoying), I know it will have the same great gameplay and innovation Treasure is known for.
