I can't beleive how much this cart just suddenly went up. I was going to buy the one in the neostore a couple weeks back, at $375. I thought $375 was a tad high, but still withing reason. I just can't beleive that the price has sudenly been jacked up this high.

Please, someone tell me that this is a joke, or that somone is purposly jacking up the price of this auction.

This is the way how you jack up the videogame price:

Starting now on, no one is willing to sell his Metal Slug 2 AES (US/JPN) less than $1000

Don't blame the price guide for this BCS!

err... I mean BS. Sorry, I'm still smarting from the whole Nebraska-in-the-Rose-Bowl thing. Oregon could've trounced Miami. PAC-10 rules!

That Metal Slug 2 game does'nt even deserve the "beautiful" artwork associated it!
That has to be one of my favorite insert covers.
As far as the price goes..Only a collecter would really be concerned so I say MORE POWER TO THE SELLER & BUYER.

Many collectors are gamers too.

And most non-playing collectors probably already have this game because it's not so rare, and they're loving every second of this auction.

Look at Twinkle Star Shit. That's a $450 game, upped past $750. For a while it was $900. Slowly it's coming back down, but it's all because it wasn't coming out on the market for a while, a "collector" with a deep wallet really wanted the game, and Bam! $1000. Same shit going on now. The gamer/collectors are getting screwed. The non-playing collectors are loving life.

How stupid the AES market is, get a cab.
Man I cannot believe what some of these idiots will pay.
Kenny good job man, if people are dumb enough to front that much dough then so be it.

Time to upgrade the ebay price guide.

MS2 is not a good choice for the MS serie!
Play it before bid, because the slow downs can damage the game interest. Personally, I found them too frequent, and I recommand you MS X.
But if you're a collector, why not.

Just remember that the price for the JAP slug 2's should not go up at all because they are SOOOO much easier to find than the english rev.

The price of JPN MS2 is already rised from about $300 to about $400 and probably this crazy auction will keep it rising... <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
By the way this auction is completely non-sense <IMG SRC="smilies/cool.gif" border="0">

And I felt guilty when someone won my auction for MS2 US back last year and they won it for $375. Sheesh.....I should have held on to it huh? whatever.......So will the MVS MS2 go up in value now too??? Because now the value of a home cart is astronomical that people who want to play it will look to MVS.....only time will tell..... <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

The Neo Store didn't have a US Slug 2 for $375. It had a Jap one wich you can get for far less. I saw one on ebay that wouldn't sell for 300 not too long ago.

Gawd, this shit is just Ridiculous!
I mean MS2 has great looking box art and all, but MSX is a far superior game if you ask me.
