We never really own anything anyway, we're just the keepers in the meantime.
Dude that's awesome. Well said.

Seriously though, sell stuff on eBay. If it's sitting in a box, garage or stored away you're not enjoying it. Let someone else enjoy it and buy what you want in the now. We never really own anything anyway, we're just the keepers in the meantime.
Bingo. I've been selling off my collection quite nicely over the last few years as I got fed up with dust collecting. I've had quite a few highly prized items from the Nintendo community and a few other odds and ends too I've let go of. It has paid for a lot of things I do enjoy, the recent being my MVS+10games pickup, and before that was my home use Pin-Bot pinball machine, before that was an overkill level clevo(DIY no solder all socketed) gaming laptop with the 980 nvidia chip, nvidia shield tablet (stylus version), a couple other lower tier laptops before, a nexus7 that ate it before the shield, some 80s/90s lego, g1 transformers, randomness, and even getting some Sega goodies too.

The new NG Dev game is $450? Sweet! I have a $500 limit credit card!
My fighters are AES since it's mostly on the affordable side. All my shooters like the slug series, blazing star, shock troopers 2 etc etc are in MVS since AES version is out of my price range.
First off, Gunlord is a good game. But at the same time it does not feel like a Neo Geo game. It sounds like you already have some other MVS games so you have likely seen the difference first hand yourself.
I started with AES (a few years ago) and I was able to get some really good games for good prices but there were a lot of games I could not get.
I then found a Big Red and sold all my AES stuff and put the money into MVS.
I should have listened to the advice I got right here on neo-geo.com and started with MVS in the first place.
Regardless of what other more expensive games go for a $450 game is still crazy expensive. Only you can say if you can afford it and deep down you know if you should splurge or not. I bought CS2 and pre-ordered Kraut Buster so I'm on the crazy boat (a few more purchases like that and I'll be first mate!). But I had the cash on hand, no debt and some savings.
What helps a lot is that most times you could turn around and sell these games for what they cost you. You've got an out so long as you can wait for a buyer.
Personally I'm close to pulling the trigger on the MVS reprint of Gunlord. So tempting... so expensive...
Sell'n plasma.
Selling plasma gets you about $35-50/session and they prefer that you go for 5 sessions in 30 days. The price ends up on the high end of that scale the more you go.
