Topic: Dracula X/Vampire Kiss Prototype

LOL at whoever pays that. Dude has brass balls asking that kind of money.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. The seller needs some perspective, because that kind of price tag is what a Nintendo World Championships cartridge would sell for. A Vampire's Kiss proto can't possibly have the same level of demand.

I almost don't understand why anyone would pay that much for a game that's available for free as a ROM online (in the case of Nintendo World Championship, which I don't know a thing about) And anyone WITH that kind of money laying around isn't dumb enough to spend it on something like that, right? O_o

It depends on how much money do you have.
If history repeats itself, I won't be able to aford a PS4 until its price reduces considerably, but some people are buying it on day 1.
And if I were a billionaire, I would buy every original game I could just for the sake of owning them, and I wouldn't care about spending 50.000 dollars on games, but not on the same game, not because of the price, but because what do I care about NWC? If it were a rare and unique Castlevania that never saw the light and there are only like 5 betas in the world, I would definitely pay it (if I were rich).
What I don't understand is if someone who isn't rich spends 50.000 on a game.

A "proto" of the same game (RH-042) sold for under 350$ last year or so. Still have pics somewhere around...

not sure if show-off or really believes his proto (which is most likely 100% same as the final PAL version) is worth that much.
