Hey, I thought that Dion always said the NGF "corrected" inserts, with the different stripe colors (orange for "action" games) were the most sought after by collectors?
Well, then why did Chris Ray's auction for a Neo cart system with THIRTY carts (SIXTEEN have "NGF" inserts) only go for a total of $1175?
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1205486569
By my calculations, thats about $400 for the boxed Neo cart system, and $800 for 30 carts, well thats less than $30 per cart!! Sure, there are 14 loose carts there, but still you'd think all those great "corrected" NGF carts would command a little more money? Even with Sengoku 2 in the bunch, they didn't go for much . . . about what they're worth, and well UNDER market value!!
And what's up with all the idiotic question marks throughout the auction? Who coded this auction, its a JOKE? Look at this, quote right out of the auction text (quote marks are the only thing I added):
"This is a serious Neo AES cart package.? You are getting a complete Neo AES system and 30 BIG titles.? Many of these games are rare and fetch large cash on ebay by themselves!? I included a ton of photos to help you make an intelligent bidding decision.? This is your chance to either jump into AES cart collecting, or get a second set of carts for playing.?"
When you read it, it looks like Chris isn't even sure about ANYTHING he writes in the auction, with question marks following EVERY LINE!! WTF is up with that?
Well, I'm glad I never landed an "NGF" corrected cart, seems like they end up worth a lot less than they claim . . . DOH!!!
