I knew this would happen :cool:. Like I said earlier - if any title deserves it, it's MS3. I just wonder why it hasn't gone up sooner.

Simple, the game simply isn't that rare.

I agree that is is the best game in the series, but it's not rare by a long shot.

Yeah, that's true. Oh well, people selling them seems to be pretty rare.

No worries. Thats just a noob ms3 buyer that doesnt know what the fuck he's doing. I'm sure the next ms3 auction will sell for around $350.

Probably just on this auction.

However, there are forum members that purchased 2+ copies of the US version of the game. Additionally, the game took a siginificant amount of time to sell out.

This is one title where it's quite conceivable that the market will be flooded with MS3s for the next month and drop the price

although it may not be a rare cart... but once more and more of these babies fall into the right hand... it will not appear again...

as in ppl not resell them once they got them

I must confess that this is exactly why I started this thread in the first place. I am going to make it my job to email FTL with the latest going prices of these releases on ebay so he can continue to jack up the prices in the price guide. By doing this, I will ensure that the price of my Metal Slug 3 will continue to go up in price. Now all we need is for Shawn to get a copy and sell it for around $700. That should further cement the price of this game.

My message to those just getting into the Neo Geo. In order to stay in this hobby you must be quick and have lots of money or you will be left out in the cold. If you don't have the cash to buy everything you want, then you need to go the MVS route because the AES market is for collectors and nobody else. I will continue my fiendish plot to drive prices up so that soon my English Metal Slug 2 will hit the $2,000 barrier! By the year's end I predict that my ultimate plot will be put into place! My English NGF Metal Slug X will go from being a $10 game to a $100 game! It will be the first NGF genre corrected game to ever hit the $100 mark! World domination is within my grasp! Muuuwhhhaaaaaa!!!1111111

Am I the only one who's sick of this attitude? :rolleyes:

man and to think i only paid $168 shipped about a year and a half ago.
its a kick ass game, and if some one wants to pay that much for the item, more power to them.
i think it should stay around 250 to 350 usd at the most.

It always help to have a n00b forum memeber with common sense.

I use to think like you, but know I'm one sick pup. I've spent upwards to $400 for one game, but it was worth it :emb:
