I mean, it depends on whether or not you think all of that stuff would be cool to own. 20 bucks isn't really that hefty a cost, but it's definitely only appeals to a very specific audience.

I actually have a bunch of posters and wall decals sitting around here somewhere. Not the CD; though I wonder what could be ripped off the CD.

I just wanted to make a post letting you all know that I've decided to change my policies on eBay. Before, I was adhering to the Top Rated Plus seller requirements, however changes in the past two seasons have made me rethink things.
The Spring seller update required sellers to offer 30-day returns on all items, and the shipping would be paid for by the seller now, instead of the buyer.
Now in the Summer seller update, returns are automatically processed, and the money will be taken out of your PayPal account immediately, without any involvement from the resolution center.
Both of these policies lead to easy abuse from malicious buyers, and leads to the possibility of anyone adhering to the program being taken advantage of easily. The increased risk of malicious buyers isn't worth the small fraction saved monthly by being a top rated seller.
This will affect nothing on the end of anyone here who buys from me. I will still be offering the same level of care and professionalism that I always have, I just will no longer be using the automatic return system. If you ever have a problem with anything I sell you, I hope that you can contact me about it right away so I can resolve the issue. There will be no changes to me offering tracking on everything I sell, so you never have to worry about things getting lost in the mail. This post is more so detailing the easily abusable policies that eBay is trying to force on its sellers. Again, nothing will change on the side of anyone who buys from me. I just won't have a little top rated seller badge on my profile anymore.

The CD is just the video demo'ing the game. I have it and accessed it to see what was on it. Seeing that cute girl in good quality made it worth it. Though when I now think about it....that was a solid 15 years ago or so. Wowza.
Sounds like being a Top Rated Plus seller isn't all that good. Hmmm :/ Ebay...

I sincerely hope it was none of you that bought that Ura Otoko for that crazy price. What it went for was...astounding, to say the least.

It looks like a best offer price was accepted so there's no telling what it sold for. I think it was the same seller as the guy I'm assuming you bought the IGSFY from

There is if you subscribe via email alerts. It sold for a very unsightly amount. I don't even want to post what it sold for b/c the price will be skewed that heavily...:/

I never understood the hype for that card. It's unclear how rare it actually is and it's not very good in the actual TCG. There was no demand for it at the time. I think it's price is an unfortunate side effect from the hype from this forum. I see more Ura Otoko's pop up for sale than I did Yusuke, Raizen's Successor.

It's believed to have a limited number, but it's not 100% confirmed. I've been told it was handed out "like candy at a few tournaments" but only have 1 report of that, and all reports on the official Spirit Boards stated that that wasn't the case. So not sure who to believe on it. I have to go based on what was posted about it.
Honestly, 150 would be a fair asking price at this point for it since so many are secured in collections. However, this one went for...way way way more than that.
Yusuke RS hasn't had a chance to show its worth recently b/c no one has listed it in a long time. I have a feeling if one went up, it'd go for at least 100 since I know off-hand like 3 people who are strongly interested in acquiring one.
Everything else has shown up at least recently on Ebay at the prices they've been expected to go at. Yusuke RS is the only one to not have been up in a super long time (Ura Otoko was competing with it until now).

I probably would have been one to purchase it at a high price I admit because I need it in my collection. But I promised myself wedding expenses first before I spend over $20 for cards. So I guess I was saved. XD
Though it's hard going on ebay and seeing cards I can't purchase at this time.

I'd wait. I know a guy on FB right now with a Ura Otoko in his collection that he just had sitting in his closet. I think they are more common than their reputation would lead you to believe.
I did find a way to see what best offers sold at. That may be helpful in the future.

Otoko is a weird card. Most of the employees I know didn't have Otoko in the master collections but Score employees were also notorious for using rare cards as currency behind the scenes. When Score closed down there were tons of cards in the warehouse that had gotten taken and many examples of that have popped up over the years, maybe Otoko will pop up one day! ;o

I think it's extremely likely you just see a ton of them show up some day, like Mist Shinobi that couple of years ago. There's no way that Score only printed 30 some copies of Ura-Otoko, when they were available to every judge in the country as a reward.

Keep in mind, when Ura Otoko was available as a reward, so was the even more rare and semi-useful Yusuke RS at the time. It wouldn't be surprising if judges opted for that over Ura Otoko.

That wouldn't prevent them from printing a ton of them. It's just not economical for them to only print a few sheets of a card, didn't somebody sell a promo sheet of Gateway not too long ago and it had Ura-Otoko and Yusuke on it? We at least know they were printed at the same time and likely in somewhat equal quantities.

There are /probably/ tons of them somewhere.

I'm the type to not buy in until it's seen Also, talking with the seller of the Ura Otoko...he got 5 different offers from people...so it wasn't just one crazy person, but numerous. If you guys want me to post the offers, I can...but your wallets will cringe when I do.

All signs point to it being more common than originally thought. I'd be willing to say that there's less Yusuke, Raizen's Successor out there than Uro Otokos. At least with Yusuke it was given to a manufacturing entity and was likely destroyed if not used in production, or destroyed whenever they dumped all the unsold Skannerz. It wouldn't have been as easy to just take that stack of cards and walked out of the building with them.
I see significantly less of those in circulation, and at the time remember being totally unable to find a Skanner and even questioned its existence.
Obviously, Otoko is still a rare card compared to everything else, but based on the price it just sold for you could trade 2 of them for a Dark One which is just stupid.

It's certainly important to remember that it was an optional judge reward, but by the time that was offered, they would have already had them printed out. That's more the point I'm making.
I'm not denying that it's rare, and valuable (because of its rarity, not because of its quality as a card). But I feel like it's one of those things that's going to just have someone from score show up one of these days and drop a ton of them.
Though who knows, many of them could have been destroyed like the other cards on the DR sheet.

Obviously, Otoko is still a rare card compared to everything else, but based on the price it just sold for you could trade 2 of them for a Dark One which is just stupid. In a lot of cases, people did walk out with stacks of cards. I’ve been told more than once that at one point when the head of the department had changed there wasn’t much care for anything unrelated to sports. Yu Yu was doing very well but they just did not care because it wasn’t what they were interested in. This is one of the problems that caused Exile to have 0 starter decks. People would just kind of do whatever they could get away with, or so the stories go. Some stuff got destroyed, some didn’t. I’ve said it on the other forum but stuff always found a way to not get destroyed. There are definitely more Ultimate Champs that exist, for example. (Score DBZ) There were a lot of Epic Tales that never got distributed or destroyed, there were corrected cards that never got released, and there are sheets that probably would have been better off not being found out that have surfaced over the last few years.

I do think it's sort of fair for someone to jump on it. I've been selling Yu Yu Hakusho cards actively, as the largest dealer on singles for over 4 years now, and this is the first time the card has shown up in all that time.
I can't really blame whoever spent that much on it. I just don't value it that high myself. I'd pay $100 for it, but's not like Grim Determination where it was both an incredibly rare card, and an incredibly powerful card. It's not like Yusuke, Raizen's Successor where it has a very popular character on it, and it's rare. It's a bad card, and has a creature with 30 seconds of screen time on it. It doesn't hold nostalgic value for anyone, it's just a card someone doesn't have.
