A recently concluded auction sees a PC98 compilation disc including the five original Touhou games fetching an impressive ¥651,000. Needless to say, it is long out of print.
As you can see, the art is the usual ZUN quality. The disc is in good, though not perfect, condition.
The included titles, each effectively coming to over $1,000 each:
- 東方靈異伝 (Touhou Rei-iden) 〜 Highly Responsive to Prayers
- 東方封魔録 (Touhou Fuumaroku) ～ the Story of Eastern Wonderland
- 東方夢時空 (Touhou Yume Jikuu) 〜 Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream
- 東方幻想郷 (Touhou Gensoukyou) 〜 Lotus Land Story
- 東方怪綺談 (Touhou Kaikidan) 〜 Mystic Square
This must rank as one of the most expensive CD-Rs ever distributed.
In fact, considering the propensity of even high quality writable optical media to rot after only a few years, we might wonder at the wisdom in purchasing such an item.
At least it is a relatively stable TDK CD-R; with DVD-Rs this would likely be a gamble…

To be honest I like this art style better than most of the current touhou artwork.
Old disc is old.
haha...i feel suck when i bought tengen toppa's dvd also like that...
That is even more crazy the WoW fans. The original collectors from a few years ago (not that expensive retail) goes for $1500 these days.
Touhou = srs bsns
Oh wow, that's a lotta cash for perishable goods.
Touhou is serious business
In the word of Teal'c "Indeed"
Who says "used goods" aren't good?
I know I'm taking it out of context, but whatever,
Holy crap... with this and the itarice article, it seems there are some otakus with lots of money out there...
Is key to the solution of the global crisis in moefication of products and making more stuff attractive for otakus to buy?
Hm.. This is the first time I've ever heard of such a compilation disc; I never knew that the PC-98 games were reprinted in such a way. Can anyone confirm that this is legitimate official Touhou item? I can't find anything on Amusement Maker's old site--http://www.kt.rim.or.jp/~aotaka/am/--about this disc. (But then again, I can't read Japanese, so..)
Sorry,

He bought it from their site just before they stopped offering it, years ago. It's official.
And people tell me buying figures is a waste of mone rofl
