I know...I saw that also.  Who in the hell would pay that much for Dracula X? 
 It has to be some sort of illness.  It's a travesty that people pay $100-200 
for the game when there are a ton of copies out there to be had.  If only I 
had known when I bought my copy back in 1993, I would've plunged for a couple 
more.  I know a guy who keeps his copy in a safe.  That's ridiculous only 
because he doesn't play it.  I bet if I broke the shrinkwrap, he'd start 
crying.  I'm a pretty heavy-duty game collector, but there is nothing I have 
which is still shrinked...I play ALL of my games.  That's why I started doing 
all of this in the first place...because I enjoy gaming.  For awhile on eBay, 
you could see amazing amounts for both Gale Racer and Groove on Fight for 
Saturn.  Gee...both games suck...hard.  When I was living in Korea, you could 
find both not only NOT SELLING in massive quantities, but also sent to the 
comparable of a bargain bin.  Man, I could've picked up copies of both for 
cheap, saved them, and killed on eBay.  Still, in defensive of the weirdos 
who'd rather have shrinkwrapped games rather than actually playing them, I 
can totally symphathize with leaving your copies of Strider Hiryu for PCE 
completely sealed...forever.  After I played it the first time back in 1994, 
I wished I could have sent it back to NEC Avenue.  But, remember, on eBay, 
Strider PCE is "a great conversion," "better than the Genesis or arcade 
game," "ultra rare," and "a hentai masterpiece."
