And you know what pisses me off most about this? THIS PISSES ME OFF. Remember ckchan's that he was selling for $1200 three days ago? Here it is. God damn does this price jacking make me mad. 1000 profit, makes me puke.

I'm sorry Shawn, but when Wilson told me that he sold it to you, I was very unhappy with him. I told him how silly it was to do that. This is why. <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

Spike, who someday will make $1000 profit for doing nothing too.

Oh gosh. That’s not good but you know guys, in all seriousness if you had the opportunity to make one grand in a matter of days with out doing anything don’t tell me that you wouldn’t take it. Common you’d be foolish not to. You may be saying you wouldn’t now, but when you had the e-mail sitting in you inbox and all you had to say is, “I’ll ship it out Monday” I think you would have a different take on the whole thing. It’s only human nature.

I'm more pissed that ckchan sold it to him instead of a gamer. Yeah, I collect too, but shit. Some gamer could have been super happy with it in his collection. I wouldn't sell it.

I second that. Myself and anyone of my hardcore friends would give their baby sister to have that game in their collection. And there it would stay until they decide to leave the hobby or need the cash just that bad <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

I dont know about you guys, but I think this is a great deal! Pick up the 2 grand Metal Slug cart with a $1,000 Neo System, and you will be the envy of... well no one.

Hey, lets keep the prices soaring! Maybe one day my KOF 94 baggie will be worth this much. :D

OK, I rarely get involved with the Neo Store bashing here... but... "suprisingly scratch free, more so than most "new"" That quote makes me sick... It's like I am watching those idiots on QVC try to hype up a piece of shit computer or something... I am sorry, if I pulled something like this I would be a laughing stock of the Neo boards... how can someone get away with $1000 mark up, and still have people here saying... well, if it was you, you would do it to. No I wouldn't fuck you, that is 100% and pure ripping someone off and as a business man I can tell you ripping off customers is not the way to run a store, there is a balance. How the hell can you justify buying something for $1200 and turning around and selling it for $2200... This is price gouging at its finest... I hope this game rots on the shelves of the new store... holy shit.... Incredible, this hobby we are all a part of... just incredible... I would like to see some justification for this price increase... and I think the "well it's mine and I can do what I want with it" bull shit is not going to work here... When does Shawn start becoming responsible... When does he realize that he can't jack prices up $1000... Where does this end... Next year will this piece be worth $5500! Whoever buys it can sell it to shawn for $3200 and the fun can begin! We can make Metal Slug worth $100,000 one day, lets play boys and girls.

Hey - Think of it this way.. It puts Shawn $1000 closer to financing the release of new games like Metal Slug 4.

Actually, I did think of that.. But that would be a horrible way of doing it. Besides $1,000, in a production run of ~500 :rolleyes: , is nothing. I'm sure he wipes with $1,000.

Sure, gouge one person to help fund a release for the community. I would hate to be used like that. But thats just me.

I know its been said before and you don't want to hear it but if you dont like the price he is selling it for dont buy it. Nobody in their right mind would be giving hand-outs on this game cause people dont want to spend a lot for it. Thats just the way it goes.

Who the fuck cares, what does that have to do with justifying a $1000 increase?!?
