Ibara for $15...no manual. the catch-- it's only open to people who have bought from him and those who email him. He had 3, he's down to 1 and has 145 views-- anyone who knows about shumups knows that those 3 would be gone instantly if he was simply making sure the person knew what they were getting (like he says in his description.)

He has sold bootleg boxsets before...seems like he is trying to keep it on the DL by making sure the fuzz doesn't sting his operation (or something...)

he also has a bunch of other imports for $15 with the same rules.

well, I sent him an email to see what's up...I just acted like I wanted to buy and told him I had a modded ps2. doubt I'll get a response.

It looks really iffy. I wouldn't bother. Too many things that look suspicious...


How the hell are shmups so expensive anyway?

The seller also uses the phrase "If you want a shoot em up game from the Taito then this is the game for you." AKA: He should be shotted up. By the Taito.

very hardcore fans I guess. they pretty much always deliver the fun, but get super low print runs.

Yeah, he's close enough. We should schedule that sometime. I can get the poop.
