That doesn't make any sense! Why would anyone pay that much for a conversion? Hell, you can buy a real Japanese copy cheaper than that. There are idiots born every minute.

Yes, and many of those idiots patronized NGF in the past in order to earn made-up titles like BIG TYMER! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" />

No price jacking here...

Just a completely clueless fool of a bidder with more money than brains.

That's why it pays to forage around the Net looking for decent prices. I have no sympathy for that fool. :rolleyes:

This is yet another auction which I had NO control over.

I posted this to show the "critics" that there is no funny business with my sales.

Go thru the "Bid History" and see that this item was not "artificially inflated"............

apart from those 2 high profile games with stupid high bin's Kenny has been great in my book

everybody mentions on how Shawns prices are high - but they dont mind because they know their stuff will be in great shape - the same really goes for kenny

The last 2 AES carts i bought from Kenny were:

English Gowcaiser - mint and that was around the 290usd mark before shipping

Slug 1 conversion(jeff kurtz) - mint and that was 270usd mark before shipping

A couple of members offered to sell me their Slug 1 conversions for at least 50usd more than that - and 1 of them wasnt a Kurtz conversion (no manual)

Kenny is a great guy and seller imo and alot of members stick high bins on their games

Rich didnt you stick a bin of 395gbp on that Japanese andro dunos, thats 635usd with todays exchange rate :)

I didn't know that people made conversions of Metal Slug 2.

Still, what a fucking idiot.

Ok. I see that everything is pretty clear. You stated clearly that the cart is a conversion and mentioned everything that needed to be said and started the auction at $1. It's not your fault someone bid that high at all. You got pretty lucky.

If there's something I don't understand is why some people pay so much for conversions, regardless if they're already made.

My NTM from Jeff K cost me $65 for the MVS cart shipped, $50 for Fatal Fury 3 (bought from Neo Bomber Man) and $75 for Jeff's service, add in $10 for shipping. Total is $200.

NeoGeo2K2 charged me $50 for service, $50 for a KOF '95 he already had on had (good, not mint condition) and I paid $75 shipped for Metal Slug from someone in Holland. Add in $20 shipping to and from Victor and you get $195 total.

I always find that it's cheaper do get the parts separately than buy a conversion outright.

if you have the time to do that sal - thats fine

but i am stuck in Gibraltar and most of the stuff i buy is from the states

so i have to get it shipped to me (credit card insurance) then i have to pay to ship it back to the guy who is converting it - then shipping back

too much hassle - wait until one is ready then just send 1 payment

Victor is doing me 2 more conversions soon and he has quoted me a greta price for both

cant complain

:D

to Buster Broon:

As always, your a great guy. I enjoy doing business with you and hope to serve you more in the future! Easily, one of the best members here on the forums....

to Evil Wasabi:

We don't normally see eye to eye, but I must admit, I do admire your ability to reply to one of my threads and admit that I did no wrong here. It takes a big man to do this, and I applaud you.

to Tarma:

You are nothing more than a hypocrit/drama QUEEN. You ONLY post to my threads to bad mouth, flame, and degrade anything I do. You say I "gouge". This can't be farther from the truth. I would be labeled as a gouger if I had complete control over ALL neo carts. If I was the ONLY source of them, then yes, I would agree with you. But this is not the case.

I don't have EVERY copy of Stakes Winner US AES. I cannot control what people pay for certain titles.

And how about that JPN Andro Dunos? Somehow, I am sure you'll find a way to "excuse" yourself from this.....

If you use my name one more time in a fucking thread I swear I will really lose my fucking temper.

Plus there's a big difference between B.I.N and reserve price and how the bidders and potenial interested parties react to those. Now get bent.

You are a price gouger. Everyone knows you're a price gouger. It's a fact that you are a price gouger.

You single handly hyped the fuck out of MS2 US to blow the price through the roof. I've tried to do business with you in the past but you were asking like $450 for a NON MINT MS2! WTF??

By your own logic you can't touch me on Andro Dunos because it would be down to the bidder to choose B.I.N and the reserve was set at about $375 - not bad for a cart that is as rare as rocking horse shit.

Go jerk off in your Honda dicksmoke.

I do not make posts to show off.

I was being called a "price jacker" in another post by FTL, so I made this particular one to correct the misunderstanding
