If you look here you see that Timberfan guy saying whoever currently has it would be willing part with it for the right price. No idea where he got that from and if it's true, though. Of course, how many people are going to be willing to pay, they'd rather see free ROMs and have other people do all the work/money for them :/
If a gang of a few people could come together with some serious cash and then make a public offer, I'd think it would be possible for the guy to try to get into contact with them and consider their offer. Just to give an idea, I know the owner of rarewarecentral.com(guy who released all those GBA protos) had a public offer of $15,000, which from what I know is like $1,000 short of the original price the current owner paid to get it. Again, this is just info from the net that could have no basis and be all wrong. But anyway, if people offered to add on top of that offer, say to over $20,000 or so, maybe it'd have some effect.
I'm sure all those high numbers scare away most people though and would put them back to just waiting for it to magically appear some day, which shows how bad they really want it. Someone's gonna have to take initiative eventually someday... I'm personally raising funds for the game myself, slow going but if I ever get enough I might see about doing what I said up there, and I'd hope maybe others who do TRULY want it and aren't just looking for a 30 minute play in an emulator before they get bored might consider the same.
And going by the response to the video from most people, I get a feeling not too many think the game looks that fun. i guess I have the bias of having waited for the game as a kid on my side, looks fun to me
