LOL!

I never really felt the need to say " there's a sucker born every minute" but honestly, it rings so true regarding that auction.

TonK · Mar 28, 2004

Yep. sad isn't it.
Anyway, this is simply one auction. I don't think that the price will automatically go to $400+

Big Shady · Mar 28, 2004

Holy shitake mushrooms :eek:

I bought it brand new for $225

and I don't plan parting ways with it unless I'm really in a pinch.

galfordo · Mar 28, 2004

If any game deserves to have an inflated price, it has to be MS 3.

SHO · Mar 28, 2004

You'll have to steal my ms3 to make me part with it! :loco:

Super Porky · Mar 28, 2004

Damn, I'm glad I bought one when they were $230. That seems like a huge bargain now.

Atro · Mar 28, 2004

I made a mistake of leting one go.

Now that I've got another one back, I won't part with it again.

What do you think ?

:glee:

Crissaegrim · Mar 28, 2004

Graahh! I had that friggin game. Bought it brand new, but just sold it a few months ago because I also bought a new japanese version when they were released. Maybe it is time to stop selling carts for a while, you just never know what is going to happen.

I'm not sure it was just a bidding war becsue there were alot of bidders.

Neo-weirdo · Mar 28, 2004

This is insain :eek:

I've got the slugs I want and thier not leaving me, EVER!
Too bad I had to sell off a few though

Well, if the "this site is called Neo-Geo.com, so we can´t talk about anything else boo-hoo" guys have their way, yeah. But not everybody is that narrow-minded...

Man do I feel like a boner. :oh_no:

daybona · Mar 28, 2004

I would believe you Tonk if it wasn't for the buyers history.

Checking the buyers history confirms that, slug fever, it appears, has only infected ebayer rocket267.

Wherever you are out there rocket, thanks...for making my slugs more valuable!

I'd be pretty hesitant about selling my rare US games at this point - they all seem to be on the rise.

Why did you sell yours?

Kiel · Mar 28, 2004

Traded for JPN games.

Makismo · Mar 29, 2004

Hmm, I traded Shawn some MVS games I got for $150 for his new Metal Slug 3 (which was $235 at the time) when he had over 100 in stock. I guess he wanted to move them. In the end it seems that I got the better deal. I didn't think that it would go as high as $455 though. Actually, the 29 bids placed on the auction is what drove the price up. The guy who won it must have put a max bid of $500 (or something) and the second guy wanted it for $450 tops. So the second guy who did not win the auction got it up that high. You may be seeing this game hit $600 or more by the end of the year. Metal Slug 2 English didn't used to go for over $500 a couple of years ago but who knows what it will go for these days. Many people laugh at those who will pay $1,000 for it but it may be very common to see that game go for $1,500 sooner or later. We will see what happens.
