"Its too good to be true" deals...

What is your take on internet offerings that has you wondering, "is this too good to be true?"

Have you ever said to hell and went for it? Did it pay off? And to make things more interesting, I'm talking about an ordinary person, not a business, and an offering outside of eBay or some other feedback function.

I'm curious to know.

Yes, two times. Once with my Neo Geo MVS cab 2slots and 2 games. (180$) (not official cab)

And my Neo Geo CD with 22 games ($90) and he brought it to me, he told me that he wanted to make some1 happy, he never played on it. So he thought why not sell it for very cheap. Was probably one of the best deals ever...

And at the moment there is a guy selling an AES system with:

SS3 complete
FF comlete
AOF complete
World Heroes lose
Fatal Fury 2 lose

for $320 But I don't got money, and I stick with the MVS.

Cho

Dracula X PCE SCD w/spine$45
-he was just a sucker really

other than that i got decent PCFX setup for $150 with miraculum and langrisser

oh, but i've been ripped for bout$ 300 online from "too good to be true " deal
Yeah i took his ass to court and drove 14 hours to get him in court. But it was worth it when i saw his ass in small claims.

I got my AES neo for $250 with:
The Neo-geo Gold box
The AES system
All the hook ups
A memory card
A big neo joystick
A CD controller
NAM 1975(lose)
FFspecial(lose)
KOTM(lose)
Magicion Lord(lose)
The neo-geo AES manual

I think that was a good deal.


OH Yea.
And i got a brand new samurai spirits 2 for $24, it was still sealed.

This is not a good topic for Liquid Snake as he always claims to get it up the ass when buying anything. He can never find a great deal. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Mine:

April 2001 (when rerelease wasn't even rumored)
a mint JPN AES Metal Slug 3
for U.S.$ 135
not bad, huh?

I admit that I don't get any good deal in my life....

But guess what, I got:

Supergrafx (brand new)
1941 (brand new)
Ghouls and Ghosts (prestine mint)
Aldynes (brand new)
Ganzart (brand new)

for a very very very very very very cheap price <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0">

my son NSX-T, maybe I'm not as lucky as those people who got great deals, but I got most games I want at first release or in brand new condition <IMG SRC="smilies/tickled.gif" border="0">

i just got dracula x for 130, BRAND NEW if that is a deal...i dunno

but i got a nomad for $10 from a very stupid friend <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

ngpc mint/complete with motm mint/complete for $30 right after snk closed in the us

and i have a bunch of borrowed and never returned games <IMG SRC="smilies/smirk.gif" border="0">

I got a good deal on a US version of Dragonball GT Final Bout. Complete in perfect condition for $25 from some kid I met on a message board. Very nice.

Another good deal was Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. Brand new from a store for $19.99!!! Everything was in mint condition, and by the way this was well after they stopped producing copies of the game.

I once managed to get a Neo - 0 aes system boxed with 2 controllers, a memory card and 3 games [ fatal fury, burning fight and thrash rally all mint boxed] for $120.

I am in the middle of several "too good to be true deals"....I am hoping that everything goes well <IMG SRC="smilies/cool.gif" border="0">
so hopefully no one violates my trust...
we will have to wait and see

I just remember the time I bought this package

Neo Geo Home Cart system
2 joysticks
Real Bout Fatal Fury Home Cart
King of Fighters 2000 Home Cart

All for $320 shipped <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

The only thing I really did well on was Battle Heat for the PC-FX. I think I brought that one down for like $15. Great condition too.

I once got a Neo Geo Aes without a box, had a debug bios, two oldstyle sticks,and about 17 games,all boxed and U'S' versions, can't remember every one, but some of them were;
Metal Slug , Neo Turf Masters, Samurai Shodown 3 and 4, Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer , Fatal Fury 3, Real bout Fatal Fury, and more, for 450.00, I later sold em all because I was collecting MVS ,and Japanese AES at the time, oh well. <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Best deal I ever got was from a friend of a friend who was selling a mint AES system boxed with a complete mint copy of SSII for $50. I also bought a sealed copy of KOF 97 PSX for $12.00 from him.
