What do you think?

Pretty good selection of CPS2 kits, but too expensive for me

I hope they get some bare cps2 carts in sometime soon. Everything does look good though.

scooby105 · Sep 29, 2003

yeah
a little pricey on some stuff, as well it should be since its nos
i grabbed a few full neo marquees since im always looking for those for decoration
im pretty broke currently though

NeoLord · Sep 29, 2003

I really like it to be honest. His prices for some of those Naomi boards seem a bit steep, but who am I to complain? I don't even own a Noami system.

I am tempted to buy a few of those posters, though.

JrZyBud · Sep 29, 2003

I picked up 2 CPS2 boards, but otherwise thats it . . . I didnt see all that much in the home cart section that interested me

Freelancer · Sep 29, 2003

I was under the assumption that the prices were going to be lower based on all the pre-opening hype.

I don't know...I'm not that impressed. It will be interesting to see what happens when the store is cleaned out of the NOS goods and kits. Then what? There's only so much new stuff out there.

BIG BEAR · Sep 29, 2003

Very nice setup he has there. I picked up an item that listed (1) as the quantity but when i returned after purchasing the item,it read that (1) still existed. Did anybody see quantity totals disappear?? I'm not too concerned as I am happy about what i got given it's a rare item and it was pretty cheap.
The prices are pretty reasonable for home cartridges but nothing really made me bite. There's like one title that's tempting but I feel the decription was just abit too vague. I believe a Used item should be descibed to the T if at all possible.
Overall,I am very impressed...

Yeah i was really hoping for some used CPS2 stuff. Seems like right now the S-C is selling cps2 stuff that will cater to collectors only. I mean $125 for an A board? I mean sure its new, never used, and in the box but i could pick up a used one in working condition on ebay for less then half of that.

Still i like the store, i think they have a dedcent selection and i do look forward to seeing some new products arrive.

Heh, if I were an MVS collector (and I am) I'd snatch up some of those kits ASAP.

Kizuna? Ragnagard? Mutation Nation?

Those are not easy to come by...

the totals went down on all the full marquees that i purchased

Greatkiller · Sep 30, 2003

I'm hoping they get the AES carts they said they might get because that would be SWEET!

Trevor spencer · Sep 30, 2003

i quite like it the MVS kits are real nice

Think ill go buy a couple

Shinji · Sep 30, 2003

Going to buy SvC from him.

Shapermc · Sep 30, 2003

Must get $600

Must
have

PROGEAR!

God that is a sexy board!

Arcade 14 · Sep 30, 2003

Where are they getting all this NOS stuff at?

aria · Sep 30, 2003

Having, long ago, seen Vinh's wares at his apartment, I can say they're probably all in pristine, complete condition (ripe for collectability). Hence the Premium pricing on some items.

That about sums it ups for me...I am not a collector, so paying extra for a "mint" bare cart really defeats the purpose of buying a bare cart. I'd also like to save the money on a board by buying it sans art, since I don't use it to decorate and I only look at the stuff on rare occasion.

In short, I feel like its a great resource for every type of collector or anyone looking to buy SVC for cheap, but it's not nearly what I was hoping for or led to expect. Maybe it'll get better...

SNKJorge · Sep 30, 2003

A little dissapointed at the moment.

mike 88 · Sep 30, 2003

nothing to write home about. but good web site set up

chimpmeister · Sep 30, 2003

Well the prices are not bad considering that many items are NOS, never used and probably in mint near-perfect condition. CPS2 kits and MVS carts in that condition do of course appeal to collectors, who will pay more for them. I don't collect CPS2 stuff due to the suicide batteries, but I'm sure that NOS CPS2 kits are not common at all. As for the MVS kits, the prices are probably fair considering the rarity of some of those games in complete, NOS kit form. The prices of the home cart games are fine too, considering again that this stuff is new and never played . . . and games in that great shape won't be around forever!
