What are the rarest JPN demos/hibaihins?

Postby ave » Mon May 07, 2012 8:17 pm

I was wondering which are the rarest hibaihins there are? I know some of them, but I also occasionally stumble over entries on the database that indicate an extremely high rarity (i.e. 9/10) although no one ever talks about it (unlike Delisoba etc).

I think Madroms will help me with this list quite a bit, won't he :mrgreen:

The ones only 1 is known to exist or at least there's only 1 copy that showed the existance of a new entry to the database, so it's definitely really rare. The only one of this kind I know is Yanoman Puzzle Catalog Vol. 1, but I know there's more.

Then there's the pretty expensive and rare ones such as Voice World Sample, Soul Hackers Extra Dungeon, Sakura Taisen, and Delisoba/Waltz/Eyeful.

What I just found yesterday is the demo of Monster Slider! It's supposed to be 9/10 on the rarity but price is 1/10, is that really true? Is it this rare?

I think you got the sakura taisen demo last week right ? :D (or someone else used the same middleman as you ;) ) [ and you lost this big lot of cds only yesterday ? :mrgreen: ]

Yes, a lot of demo are really rare but don't cost a lot.
Yanoman demo is one that was discovered lately by Tatsujin (thanks to him) but there are others I discovered myself last year that nobody talked about as they is tiny to none interest on them, like J.B.Harold Blue Chicago Blues Auto Demo CD, Monster Slider Taikenban and The Hyper Golf ~Devil's Course~ Sample-ban.
One new demo not already on the site is the harukaze sentai v-force demo (i am waiting to get it shipped).
I only saw 1 (or 2 for monster slider demo disc) copy of these 4 over all the last 5-6 years. Same apply to other demo discs like the gaia breeder one. I had it on the database from the beginning but just managed to see it in "real" and bought it immediately.

I only put a 10/10 rarity scale on:
Voice World Yume Talk Sample (despite seeing another copy of it for sale 2-3 years ago)
Yanoman Jigsaw Puzzle Catalog Vol.1

The rarity scale is based on my own experience and may not reflect the real rarity of every demos according to the number of pressed discs. Some rarity scale must be a lilbit outdated, the monster slider demo for example must be more 7 or 8 than 9.

Yes, I got the Sakura Taisen one, finally :evil: Not sure which lot you're talking about though. Do you have a link by any chance?

Voice World Sample is probably my #1 most wanted item. The others you can always buy in Japanese game stores, but I've yet to see a Voice World boxset for sale :(

I just bought a Monster Slider taikenban this morning. Sealed: Image
To be honest I didn't even know there was a taikenban of this game before I saw the auction. Then I checked on satakore, saw the high rarity rating, and bought it without thinking twice. 222yen well spent I think :lol: 8-)

Here is the link for the lot: http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f115518607

Other demo discs are not so easy to find in JPN stores, they carry always the same common ones.

222yens is a good price for it ;)

Ah, no, that must have been someone else who uses the same proxy. I never bid on those junk bundles except if there's something really rare in it... the only thing that would've interested me in this bundle is the MS Gundam Taikenban but it's probably without the cover sheet anyway.

It will be hard to accumulate all Japanese demos! May I ask how much you paid for your copy of Voice World? I imagine because of its obscurity it's not more expensive than Delisoba and wouldn't break the $750 border, despite being a lot rarer?

That was maybe 6 years ago, if I remember correctly, 10000 yens + all the traditional fees for buying on YJA.
