Dammit. USA only. We'll make it as long as the others.

Does anyone agree with the italians that sellers such as Kenny Boy, 16-bit, and others are contributing to higher and higher prices?

david · Feb 18, 2002

yea, they are...the price are outrageous...just kidding...actually i don't know. I have only bought 1 games from 16bits for ff special. I thought the price was pretty good.

peterr928 · Feb 18, 2002

16 bit is not at all. He has great prices, kennyboy may be. 16 bit is a great seller and is just trying to make some money off a cool hobby

I don't deal with people online, but if anybody contributes to the jacking up of prices I hope their collection gets destroyed in a fire or something.

I currently have friends selling most of if not all of their collections to me so right now I don't have a need to deal online. But yah, prices are wack (I can understand why).

I think the european folk are contributing to higher and higher prices by paying higher and higher prices. Them and Tonk.

I think the problem is when they buy cheap carts on Yahoo Japan, and resell them at twice what they paid.

That´s ridiculous!

Take a look at ebay Germany!

Most Germans are not bidding that high anymore!

Maybe the French have no clue when it comes to prices!

I think 16-Bit aka Carlson is a great NEO seller. So far I have gotten all of my NEO stuff from him including my AES. His prices are very fair if you ask me and he is trustworthy.

I'm not saying he isn't a great seller. I'm just saying some of the bigger sellers on the scene get their stuff quite cheap from sources that are unavailiable to the average person. I'm no fool. I browse YahooJapan auctions. I know most of the prices in the US are quite different than those in the east. With a few noteable exceptions, most carts sell for so little comparatively, they might as well be given away.

However, in a sad trend, eastern sellers are figuring out that idiots over here are paying 800+ dollars for slug 2, and are steadily adjusting their prices. That can only mean one thing. Higher prices here.

I read your thread my Italian brother.

I think its the price guide thats becoming a price hike contribution.
Its the sellers choice, the buyer makes the buying decision, so its two fold.

Well I'll post I'm from the USA ,

I think the main thing jacking up prices is Ebay , Nes games have gone up soo much in a year because of damn ebay , <img src="graemlins/blowtop.gif" border="0" alt="[Blow Top]" />

......I think it's the government.....AES carts are a perfect fuel source and the government being own by the oil company's are mass destroying any they can get there hands on so....the carts are becoming rare and soon men in black vans will drive up to your house burn your coolection and take you to prison camps in guam....I swear I read it in the Enquirer it's gotta be true!

This is the shit I did not want. Go fuck up the war room with your stupid spam.

NeoGeo2k2 · Feb 18, 2002

I'm suprice that this post, is still here...

welll both 16bit and kenny are excellent sellers, and if stupid people don't know jack about the neo, and think that just cause metal slug is worth a shit load of cash, ms2 should be the same, and want to spend a shit load of cash for them, well that's there stupid choice, QUE NO?

Do you agree with me? ... strange...

FTL · Feb 18, 2002

Hey DJ,

actually few italian members were stating that some sellers inflate prices of neogeo stuff.

But the real point was that neo carts are expensive even in japan.

As for laurent,Carlson,they have their prices and that's ok since they are not price jacker at all.

In particular,16 bit charges a fair markup and nothing wrong with it.

The maruko up to 2000$+ clearly marks that rare games are most wanted even by jap collectors.
Laurent and others were outbid,so it is plain.

Anyway,jap carts can be gotton in many ways.
US carts are more likely to be inflated by scarce numbers of production and high demand.
MS 2 US docet.

Charlie: who bought MS 2 for 1100+ USD??
AN AMERICAN GUY,Mr MAE!

I have to agree with this about eBay. It seems that is the source a lot of the times of price jacking, and not just NEO games, but many game systems as was said.

This is absolutely the main problem.

Honestly, put it into perspective, you buy something for a price, then charge twice that price for it.

That's a 100% profit. What other small business do you know of that mark up their products that much that you don't consider a rip off?

I think it's stupidity on the buyer's part almost more so than that of the seller. I mean for example, let's say $hawn or someone discovers a source of Euro Kizuna AES. A quantity so huge that the product is no longer considered rare/etc, BUT, begins to sell them for $2100 each. A lot of people here would piss on the forums about what a load of shit that is but more people than that would just buy it without question.

Why? Why is it that when people see things like this on Ebay and what not they just assume that oh, this is what the price is then instead of thinking hey, this is obscenely high?

Eric · Feb 18, 2002

I say we should flood the market with a lot of cheap games. This would lower the overall price of these games. Simple rule of Supply and Demand.

Here's the problem: Who's willing to sell Metal Slug 1 for $100?

yes.
but if you are less an asshole than the others you can buy directly from yahoo japan or in japan
it's easy to scream about prices of neo sellers.
less easy to take time to learn japanese, send international money orders to people 7000KM from the home etc...

The only problem being that most will not ship to the USA.
