A Small Piece of Awful Gaming History

Now here is a find that I wasn't expecting. A seller on eBay was liquidating his entire 32X lot and there were a couple of Sega CD 32X games up for grabs as well. For a little bit of history, there were only six Sega CD 32X games released in the 90s, and as far as I know this is the only one that was released as a two pack (Sega CD and Sega CD 32X discs both included). RarityGuide.com has this listed at a 51% rarity rating with an average selling rate of $14 CIB (complete-in-box). I paid $9.99 plus shipping, which I consider a score given how notorious longbox jewel cases are for being cracked/broken/damaged.

What I have found is that when the photos of auction items start to look the same they are either being all sold by a reseller or a collector liquidating their collection. Both will be charging medium to high price rates, but the collector will probably have their items in better condition since they actually had a vested interest in the item they are selling. If you can find a collector selling off their collection on eBay (for a reasonable price) it isn't a bad idea to stock up and save on shipping. I was able to get this and NFL Quarterback Club '94 for the 32X for a combined shipping charge of about $6. Not a bad way to spend an evening watching the presidential debates.
