For me it's also $550 for Blazing Star. It's worth every penny though.

For me that would be $329 + $6 shipping for a brand new AES Japanese version of Metal Slug 3.

For me it has to be my mint USA MS NGH cart.
cost me $2,174 Canadian (about 1400 US)
I my only regret is that i wish the payment was payable to SNK, they need the money and I'd die to see a ms4 one day, I really enjoy the game and I play the MS series more than others. I'm not made of money , I just prefer to buy neo geo carts ,drive a rust bucket and crave a cigarette. Rather than smoke,die early ,and make a monthy CDN$400 payment for a new car thats gonna look like the one i have now in 5 years.
I do have the Mvs carts, but I have been bitten by the neo geo collecting bug, To me its for the better, I have quit smoking,I am healthier and I have a collection thats worth more than a pile of ashes and butts. I put $4 away every day in 2dollar coins ( I used to smoke a pack a day) and use that savings to buy rare carts (you'll be suprised at the amount you have/will spend on smokes in the long run).I know I was when I opened the coin door on my mvs and counted it ,,,this way when ever a cart I need comes up for sale I have the cash and dont have to break my budget.

Try $1000 on a neo geo hoem system plus the kof 94-2000 carts though to me I hate anything without advanced mode so anything else older than 97 was a waste.

OK, I feel better now <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

I spent $825 for a mint U.S. MOTW home cart. I had to buy it, seeing how I'm in the process of collecting the entire FF U.S. AES run. It was worth every last penny, let me tell you!

I don't plan on spending anywhere near that much in the future, though. Perhaps an AES U.S. run of AoF, LB, or SS (or all of them) are planned for the future, but beyond those I'm going the MVS route.

I spent $100 for a New Samurai Spirits 2 and a mint complete Samurai Spirits 3, so $50 for each I guess?

I'm also in the process of buying KoF '94 and Last Resort Jap versions home carts for $50 each. I only buy smart, therefore I look around to get the best deal, their are many small dealers throughout the internet that have a whole harvest of Neo stuff, you just have to search. Unlike RoadWarrior I would never drop that kind of money on one game, unless I drove a Porsche and had money to blow ie. Shawn.

Tonk, you got ripped off on Neo Driftout. I could have got you a new one for $150. The most I spent on mvs is $1000 for a 55 mvs cart package. <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">
