IMPORTANT: POST EDITE PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST

I thank everyone's patience on the pictures and PM response time. I have been quite busy and quite sick to top it all off. Let me set up some general rules.

GAMES
The games are all US NGH/AES:
1. US Art of Fighting 3 (AOF3) - NM+
2. US Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 (RBFF2) - NM+ SOLD
3. US Metal Slug 2 - (MS2) NM++ SOLD
4. US Metal Slug 3 - (MS3) EX++ SOLD
5. US Stakes Winner - NM++
6. US Last Blade 2 - (LB2) NM SOLD

All games were bought, never played, stored on a shelf with no sunlight and or harsh lights.


PRICES
After a bit of negotiating via PM due to pictures not being up, prices are the following so that everyone is clear I am not trying to "one-up" everyone else on price.

1. AOF 3 - $425
2. RBFF2 - $625
3. MS2 - $1000
4. MS3 - $220
5. Stakes Winner $1100
6. Last Blade 2 $600

These are accurate descriptions of what I paid for the carts except for LB2 and AOF3, which I bought multiple copies of in order to get the best copy for myself. (i.e.- switching out the lesser condition insert or manual etc. for the better). In fact, the price points for AOF3 and LB2 will make me loose money. Once again I will be making no money on all of these transactions and once again you can PM me with inquiries about previous owners for purchase price verification on my part if you don't believe me. The big ones are MS2 and Stakes winner of course.

I am a collector, I have always been a collector, not for the money, although its nice, I do it for the sheer enjoyment of having something in a great condition that many others don't have. I am not trying to rip anyone off nor swindle people of out their money. Why should I? By the grace of the lord, I make enough money to purchase these games in the first place and live very comfortably.

However, I need to sell these because of things in which distancing myself from Neo collecting and gaming collecting in general will help me a great deal. The balance I once had in my life is not here anymore, hence why I am in the current situation I am in. In any event, I digress...

PAYMENT
All buyers from all parts of the globe are welcome. I do however, make it a point to hold a "first-come-first serve" on games, meaning whoever contacts me first and makes the commitment to buy the game, the game is sold. If the initial person does not make the commitment, then the second person that inquired about said game will have the chance to buy it. This is the most fair instead of taking offers. I will not accept payment by parts and I am only doing so because I am on a time limit to which I need to sell these games. I accept payment by Money Order or International Money order in US funds. I will only accept paypal if the %2.9 charge is added on top of the price for payment in US funds. 3.4% added on the price for payment sent in Euros, Canadian, Pounds, and Yen.

Sorry if this seems unfair, but I am tired of paypal "stealing" money with their progressive fees. And just to even it out, I wont charge shipping for paypal payments. Shipping will be charged if payment is done through money/international money order. Whatever combination works best for you just let me know. PM me if there are any questions. I am all ears.

SHIPMENT
All packages will be sent out via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation and insurance. For international buyers, EMS shipping can be arranged. I will wrap all cartridges separately from the case with bubble wrap, making sure no cart damage can be incurred from being in the case. Appropriate padding will be applied inside the packages so there is the least amount of movement.


IMAGES
All images were taken with a Canon Powershot S40 4.2MP digital camera in daylight. Aperture was set at F2.8 and Shutter speed was 1/60. The images are big in file sizes because of high resolution. A majority of images are 500 KB+ in size. Images are hosted on villagephotos.com. I have about 800MB of bandwidth daily for image requests. So if for some reason, you can't see an image, just PM me and I'll be happy to e-mail them to you. Also, if there are other images that one would like to see, I will take them out as well...well on with the descriptions:


Art of Fighting 3
This game was bought multiple times in order to swap out the insert and cart. As seen from the pictures, the cart is beautiful except for the slight scuff on the front and about 4 scattered on the back. Manual has a slight crease. Insert is pristine.

AOF 3 Photo Album: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=711979


Real Bout Fatal Fury 2
This game was bought a while back from a top seller here and never played. There is a slight indentation on the back of the insert that is hardly noticeable except at an angle within the light. The cart has a very slight scuff on the left hand side, and some scuffs on the back, otherwise in top-notch shape with no sticker bubbles. Manual is in pristine condition.

RBFF2 Photo Album: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=711993


Metal Slug 2
This game has a flawless insert. It was shipped very securely and I was very impressed since it came over-seas. The case was wrapped in clear plastic and I haven't even taken it out of the plastic as yet. The cart and manual was shipped separately, therefore I was able to take pics without opening the plastic over the case. In one of the pics of the front, one can see what LOOKS like an indent on the insert, but it IS NOT. It is just the reflection of the plastic when the photo was taken. The manual is pristine. The only slight problems include a slight sticker bubble that I have tried to capture because it is only seen at the tilt of the light and is very small. Finally, the back of the cart has a super small scuff that is hardly seen as well. Everything else is pristine.

MS2 Photo Album: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=712004


Metal Slug 3
I bought this game new from the Neo Store. It came damaged with a crease in the upper left hand corner of the insert. The crease is quite prominent and affects even the case plastic. Also, upon further inspection there is a very very light scuff on the front, which is very hard to notice. Everything else is pristine.

MS3 Photo Album: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=712013



Stakes Winner
This game has a flawless insert except for a very slight indentation in the upper left hand corner of the insert only seen at the tilt of the light. Manual, once again pristine, and the back of the cart has about 3 small scuffs once again hard to notice.

SW Photo Album: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=712025



Last Blade 2
This game was also bought multiple times for trying to attain the best possible condition game. The Only flaws with this game are that the back of the cart has some scuff marks in a row and on the lower right hand part of the cart.

Fadl,

Sorry to hear you are going through some unpleasant times. I hope everything begins to move into a more positive direction. Can you send me a pm with prices for MS2 and RBFF2. Thanks.

:D - well if you are serious, price for the whole lot is $4000

Whatever "Neo-Plane of thought" One rests on. That may be a great deal, that may be too much. It is about how much I paid for everything.

All right everyone. I am getting alot of PMs. Please be patient on pictures as I take time to get every picture as accurate as possible.

Games will be sold to whoever contacts me first and makes the commitment to send payment. I will let everyone else know how far back they are before I can come back depending on if someone wants to buy something. I think this is quite fair.

it is always sad when someone has to sell their games,but that can be bought again when times and fortunes dictate.

When I saw the list of games I totted up what I would have paid for them and I still couldnt get the price to go over $2000.How come you get to the $4000 pricetag for them? Thats mighty steep mister! :spock:

Because these are English carts. There's some good rarities
there, speciall Stakes Winner.

These are some of the quotes that some of these have
been sold for lately:

1. US Art of Fighting 3 (AOF3) - NM+ $400+
2. US Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 (RBFF2) - NM+ $600+
3. US Metal Slug 2 - (MS2) NM++ $1,000
4. US Metal Slug 3 - (MS3) EX++ $300
5. US Stakes Winner - NM++ $650+
6. US Last Blade 2 - (LB2) $600+

+ Shipping + paypal fees...
about reasonable.

Fadl,

I already own all of these games whether on JP or US format,
but I'm interested in a RB2 and SW Eng, not much at the
moment though. I am concentrating in finishing my collection,
and for that I need to get some MVS kits rarities and such.
Good luck on your sale, and I hope you don't leave for good
after this.

Trust me if I sold the whole deal at $4000 I wouldn't be making any money at all. I have purchased these games from the board members here and I have their names. You can PM me and verify with the former owners about how much I paid for each cart. Yeah prices I paid were high especially on the SW, and MS2. I was expecting absolute perfection. There is no absolute perfection. It's relative. I am sure Big Bear knows about this. In any event, the conditions are quite hard to come by though and I try my best to accurately display condition through verbal and photographic communication methods.

Hell, I bought RBFF2 from a well-respected member here well before the price increase in the guide and I will be selling it for that same amount. The amount is $625. There have been countless threads about the scarcity of specific US games and most of these fits the bill.

Please don't take this the wrong way, as everyone has his or her own value of what a game is. I could ask for $800 for that RBFF2 because market conditions can handle that type of transaction based on scarcity and demand for the cart. I am not going to do it because quite frankly, the extra money would be nice, but not necessary for the most part. I need to let these go to a collector (hopefully) who enjoys this hobby just to enjoy it and the thought of getting a very scarce cart in awesome condition for an acceptable price in both the seller and is in his/her best interest.

I mean who would play Stakes Winner for the fun of it? That cart is purely bought for collector reasons, although I know a few people who do enjoy the playability.

I do appreciate your comment though as that's what I really love about here. The great diversity of it all.

Take Care
Fadl

pics zoom in fine for me. The damage is on the front of the case. Hope this helps. I'll test out the zoom on another computer in my house.

Thanks again
