Saw this auction before the BIN was used also. Someone may or may not have gotten a decent deal, hard to say. When you factor it all in it's probably not worth the chance to most people considering outside of the MS games, KoFs, and Viewpoint there's only a few more games that would come near the $100 mark. The rest, by Neo Geo standards, are about as common as it gets.
Then the condition of the valued games needs to be factored in, which isn't even elaborated on in the auction. (red flag) Judging by the titles in the lot these are possibly former rentals, but any game beyond say fatal fury 3 would be past the days of most Neo Geo rentals. So who knows? Metal Slug 2 isn't too uncommon to see as a convert either, if that slug 2 were a convert the 'good deal' is greatly reduced.
The list of ifs, ands, buts, and maybes could go on and on here. All in all for $1500, I'd say it's not an INSANE deal (wont get into that here) but a pretty good one that doesn't come along too often but that's assuming the best. Would make a nice kick start collection.
I wouldn't buy it without some damn good form of insurance though.
If anyone knows the buyer and hears about how this deal turned out please post about it. I wouldn't mind hearing about it!
