maybe we have finally reached a point where there is such a thing as the bootleg collector? People who "love"/"want" a game so much, they have to have ever "version" of it there ever was?
[Similar situation with SSVS for reference.]

Some people are willing to pay for new looking cabinet and manual work does cost. Maybe 1400$ is decent price? I don't know how much TNT Amusements Inc etc. bills for restoration..

I was kind of wondering that myself as I saw that on ebay, but the value probably comes from just something someone else will see you/we do not. If you're buying a like new cabinet, something totally refurbished and redone inside and out so it's like brand new, someone will pay and pay very well for that. Considering the tools, know how, time, labor(effort), possible crating/shipping/local transport involved in doing it yourself or hiring someone local to you to do such work adds up quite a lot.
With mine I got lucky, got a hell of a deal with from a nice guy with a truck. Offered at no cost to drive it across town and help load it into my place, I just had to help out and provider a dolly. It's no longer up there so he pulled it or something happened.

That is the first time I've seen that.....and I wish I never did.
I was just about to post this but I saw yours first. But yeah, for real. Why the fuck would you VGA grade a fucking neo geo cart. Idiots! This gaming hobby is going to shit faster and faster every passing day. Nobody wants to buy a neo geo game to just let it sit around unplayed for fucks sake. It's not a god damn piece of cardboard collectible it's a game that's meant to be played. Ugh, this shit gets under my skin so bad.
He even put WOW! in the title sale. What a piece of shit.

That guy should be beaten half to death with that VGA coffin. I really didn't need to know about that or see it. That shit repelled me almost entirely away from buying anything console related damn near across the board if it's Nintendo (and it has been over 3 years since I bought a NES or SNES game online due to that horse shit and rarely locally.) VGA, all the knife to throat tactics to screw people to one up the value on the flip, all of it, fuck that entire mess of a scene. What's next, a huge plastic coffin for original OEM pinball machines with original parts, manuals, and lights that all still function? Next time someone wants to make a rolling manure bomb again, park it outside the VGA facilities.

the bigger pieces of shits are VGA / CGA grading compnaies who even let people do this. Is this copy even really sealed? it doesnt look like it, guy doesnt show the seal at the side.

SVC Chaos did not come sealed so you can't tell for sure if it's new. Hell, even new copies had scuffs on the cart which makes this grading bullshit even more worthless.

VGA meets NOS & sealed a/k/a juvenile capitalism meets cracked & faded.

The funnyer part about all this beeing people that see variations of color due to offset printing as sunfade (not saying sunfade dont exist, but its a really different thing)
Not to mention people seeing marked nam75 as flawed and low quality... When its actually the one enbedding/sharing the most history.
I dont get how you can collect aes and not be touched by its natural flaws...

I'm surprised VGA graded AES stuff hasn't popped up more often. Did they not offer it for Neo stuff before?
