when did you start?
Well you had to ask this question didn't you. wink
I actually sat down and added up everyting I could think of in my collection and it wasn't as bad as I thought. glee
$1265 For 63 MVS Carts & 12 MVS Kits w/shipping. That's only about $17 a cart.
<a href="http://vaps.org/members/ia/elnath27@hotmail.com.html" target="_blank">Game List - It's a little out of date</a>
2 cabinets w/shipping $600
<a href="http://natsarcade.homestead.com/neocabs.html" target="_blank">Cab Pics</a>
2 motherboards (2 slot & 4 slot) $180
40+ MVS Extras sets and 20+ mini marquees $200
2 NGPC & 30+ games - $200
Various CD soundtracks, toys, trading cards, etc. $400
So that comes to $2845 total since I got addicted to the Neo about 2 years ago.

Jeez lemme think about it and get a calculator...
Cab: $200 (not including shipping or subtracting $1.75 in the coin bucket)
Shipping for the cabinet: $137 (woulda been less if the couriers didn't have to take it up the stairs)
New controls from HAPP: $35 shipped
Games: $544 including shipping (not subtracting. profit from selling Last Resort), so $544 divided by 15 games (I'm including Last Resort) is $36.27 shipped a game, keep in mind a few of those games were free and a lot of times I bought multiple carts from the same seller (so I saved on shipping)
Supplies for Pause Switch: <a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=004490" target="_blank">$0</a>
Soldering Supplies: $0
MVS Sideart I never got (Clint was supposed to send it but, well, you guys know what happened
)- $15 shipped
3 NeoGeo OSTs: $31 (1 was a gift)
KOF '97 hat: $8 shipped
TOTAL: $970
OWNING THE WORLD'S MOST KICKASS GAME SYSTEM THAT WEIGHS MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE, MAKING LOTS OF FRIENDS WHO ALSO LOVE MY FAVORITE SYSTEM, AND NOT REGRETTING A PENNY I SPENT: PRICELESS
There are some things money can't buy. For everyting else there's theft.
