About 5 Years after "Tsukibako" was Released, Used Price is Still Over 30,000yen

The new product by Type-Moon was announced, and a magazine that will be released on the 21st would write about its details. As I have reported, Mandarake Complex has Tsukihime vintage goods (floppy disk etc). The used price of "Tsukibako," a set of Tsukihime + Tsukihime Plus-Disk + Kagetsutooya (a fan disk of Tsukihime), at the second hand store, Liberty 1st Branch, as of April 1, 2008 was 31,500yen ($315 = 100yen).

About 5 Years after "Tsukibako" was Released, Used Price is Still Over 30,000yen (Liberty 1st Branch)

Mandarake Complex has Tsukihime vintage goods (floppy disk etc). The used price of "Tsukibako," a set of Tsukihime + Tsukihime Plus-Disk + Kagetsutooya (a fan disk of Tsukihime), at the second hand store, Liberty 1st Branch, as of April 1, 2008 was 31,500yen ($315 = 100yen).

"Tsukibako" is, according to Wikipedia, a doujin software that came out when Type-Moon was still a doujin circle. It is a set of Tsukihime, a visual novel that was released at Winter Comike in 2000, Tsukihime Plus-Disk (January 2001), and Kagetsutooya (August 2001). This set, Tsukibako, was released in April 2003 at Doujin shops, and the price at the time was 2,500yen ($25 = 100yen).

At Liberty 1st Branch, "Tsukibako" (used) was 28,800yen ($288 = 100yen) on July 2005, but 5 years after its first release (April 2008), the price still exceeds 30,000yen ($300 =100yen).

The floppy disk of Tsukihime (84,000yen = $840 = 100yen), which I have reported under Mandarake Complex Opens: "Nakano is to Defend, Akiba is to Offend" was first distributed for free (300 of them) at Comic Market 56 (1999), according to Wikipedia, and when I went to Mandarake on the 2nd night of its opening, it was gone. Probably, somebody bought it.


In the Showcase at Liberty 1st Branch, "Tsukibako" is 31,500yen ($315) Drama CD of Sora no Kyoukai 2,600yen ($26), Kagetsutooya 8,400yen ($84), Tsukihime (not good condition or missing something) 10,500yen ($105) All of Them are Used ($1=100yen)
