Did I get a good deal?
 
Hi! I was just wondering if the item I bought off ebay was pretty good for $30.

I bought the Japanese version of Pokémon Yellow in the box, near perfect condition with the instruction manual and all. Is that a good deal? and is the game rare?


just wondering! ^^

It dosen't look fake what so ever. the box looks real, the instruction manual, the map, and the fact that it's from Japan. It seems pretty real. :P

Well I bought a used version of Yellow at Gamestop for 14$
a few years back. Although it was just the game catridge.
So maybe the box and manual brings the price up.

Thats not a good deal. lol I would of gotten a english version since there is a lot of people who have that language for the game on ebay. Well thats me when I look on it... lol But yeah $30 is too much. If I was going to sell my yellow version. I would sell it for $15 and there in nice condition, but w/e hey if you're rich then your okay..... xD

Primal_Dialga May 30th, 2009 5:03 PM

if you keep it in a good conditions it will be worth more :) I still have a game and watch game which I have and I'm keeping good care of it to sold it at as a collectable :)
I think that's a good deal if it is good condition i got mine for $23.(English)

Mmm. I don't know. I may have paid onyl $20 or $15, since we have Nintendo DS games these days. But the item you got is a collector's unique thing.

Pingouin_7 June 6th, 2009 2:25 PM

Yeah, it doesn't looks fake. But I'm not sure about the sticker on it, but the sticker could just have been torn off, then the previous owner could have printed one to stick on the game.

Just got my copy in the mail, and I'm pleased with it, and it is infact real! There are a few minor differences between english and japanese version, but it's still great! :P

thedestinedblade June 6th, 2009 5:04 PM

That seems like a good deal. Imports usually go for quite a bit no matter how old the game. Any reason you bought the Japanese version?

BHwolfgang June 7th, 2009 11:33 AM

I don't know. You just purchased a Japanese Pokémon Yellow in almost perfect condition. Are you sure that everything works perfectly?

Pokemon12345678901 June 7th, 2009 1:01 PM

Depends do you think you got a good deal.

If yes: Then it was a good deal.
If no: Then you were scammed.

It depends on what you think.
