$500 for garou aes?

Chris_85TA · Apr 19, 2002

Some people are nuts! You could buy the mvs version, a one slot board, and a super gun for that much!

cuccoo · Apr 19, 2002

indeed. but it has some collectible value. You should know that there are 2 extreme type of buyers and a few more in between. The two are pure consumer and pure collector. Consumer play; collector collect.

Another hidden buyer is the trader, who is looking for money only.

well... IMO you must be least a player before a collector - but you can play games without collecting.

SonGohan · Apr 19, 2002

Some people just have a lot of money to blow.

Atro · Apr 19, 2002

Agreed. But AES collectibles worth more than gold.
that's for sure. :rolleyes:

Proud of you SNK

Traders can be gamers/collectors too, you know.

cuccoo · Apr 19, 2002

Look I said those are the "extremes". Then I said there are those who fall in between so you can gauge them yourselves. There would be people who are really balance. They collect equally as much as they play. There are people who collect more than they play, etc.

The ones that are named are the "extremes" which means the "ideal" or "pure" state; they may exist but I doubt there would be many if they do.

AES = Absolutely Expensive Stuff

NeoFreakWolf · Apr 20, 2002

If it wasn't expensive, it wouldn't be a hobby. Remember, hobbies are expensive, interests are free. And if you want to see an example of the extreme Neo*Geo Freak, I will collect anything that's Neo*Geo, but I use all of it, and I never sell anything. I intend to be buried with my collection.

I just got mine for 280$ from a Japanese auction, that is IMO a more appropriate price.

Lee Gray · Apr 20, 2002

I am not a collector but i still like my mvs kits to be in perfect condition

i use to own the homecart sysyem and was not a collector either. i think its bull .video games were made so they could be played not to sit on a shelf looking good.

That is a great price!

I buy the AES version simply because it is the most fun to ply (and it loks cool} !!

Totally agree. The AES are MUCH more beautiful than MVS.
By the way, I paid 430USD for my MOTW. <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />

you can get garou and a DC for under $100. collectors just got money to burn.

DC w/2 controls and VMU: $74
Mark of the Wolves: $32(plus tax in TN)
All together $106. And you can find MOTW for $20 at some places...

Chris_85TA · Apr 20, 2002

I"m not bashing aes owners. The carts do look nicer but they are overpriced. I buy games to play them not look at the carts *shrug* The dc version probly sucks because of load times. I bought garou and an mvs board for $225. Thanks searchingtom

Amen Fran! If you think it's a waste, just don't buy it. I don't want to step on anybody's toes, but I don't go around telling you how much better my AES carts are and how it's a waste to buy crappy MVS stuff.

rarehero · Apr 21, 2002

eh.
my only regret is not buying it from SNK
when it first came out.
i had a friend that had a hell of a time
trying to get it from a store but they sold
it before he could buy it from them.
even though it was on hold for him.
imagine that.
when i have the money i ll get MotW.
its a good game and its on my agenda of games to get.
it is a fatal fury after all.
and who can resist that sexy yellow spine?

$500 for garou aes?
