sure the english version is not rare but for info
you are talking about yahoo auction which is officially for people who leave in Japan
coz Japanese really speaks english or doesn't want to speak english that why they dont want to ship a package overseas and a lot of Japaneses do not even know about Paypal.
and for info, due to foreigner bidding on yahoo using midd. site the prices of beyblade have increased a lot the past few year
example before a NIB Shining God or Bloody Devil were like 5,000 yen
last year a few appeared on yahoo and many foreigners tried to get them and increased the bid over 40,000 - 45,000 yen
example with my NIB Bloody Devil that I sold for 6,000 yen about 4 years ago, but it took about 6 months before someone decoded to buy it on eBay.
or even the Dragoon GT the 3 tournament prize Gold, Silver,..
a few years ago some from WBO won the Set of 3 for less than 6,000 yen
now the price for each of them usually go around 30,000 - 40,000 yen
and what you said

is quite wrong coz he usually bases his prices from what the same beyblades got sold previously.
But sometimes another seller put the same beyblades for a price a bit lower than his prices. that way that other seller is sure to sell his beyblades.
But if on your side, you only compare his prices with the new listing sure his prices are a bit high, but if you compare them with the prices from last year, they are just average prices.

hahahahahahahahahahaha
who in their right mind would pay this much for these beyblades.
Sorry but for a really crazy Japanese Beyblade collector those prices are just average price
coz last year for an used Metal Draciel Clear Vesion, it went over 35,000 yen
for an used Knight Dranzer Black Version it went around 30,000 yen
think that it was just for USED Beyblades if they were NIB, there is a big change that they would have gone over 50,000 if not over 60,000 yen
Everything that guy sells is a ripoff. No one ever buys anything from him. As far as those two being rare the english versions aren't that rare. NIB yeah but not used.
