From that list - "Last Lap" is rare. But is "Raven Rare" - in other words, it is rare because it is junk. But there are some games with higher production runs - "Hard Bodies" - an example of a game that is rare because they were basically all parted out - they made no money onsite. "BMX" is the same layout, but a better theme. Only 406 made - that is a rare game.

Just looking at those auctions - I can't wait to see other sellers quickly find the same titles and list them at similar prices. Yes - this is now their "market value" !
