Maybe so... maybe. We don't know anything about the buyer, he could be a multi-millionaire, which means, $12k is a spit in the ocean for him in terms of financial impact.
It is like people chastising Michael Jordan for betting in hundreds of thousands of dollars, but to him, that's nothing. It is like us regular joes betting several hundred dollars (in terms of ratio).
Of course, that still doesn't take away the fact that someone just paid 12k for an imperfect neo geo cartridge.
Insane to me? Hell yes. Insane to the buyer? Probably not.
i could use it on a car, it pisses me off the amount of excess in this scene.KOF RUGAL B. said:Well lucky to the perosn that pay the 12,000+ for kizuna, I could of used that money for the mortgage....

You know, its funny, but I thought of this a while after I had posted my previous response. It makes sense though, when there are only one of a said item popping up at a time we cant go by any other pricing method. As opposed to ffs which appears almost all the time.
Sorry for being unfair.
I gotta say though, what about U 11?, I've never even seen a single one for sale in a public auction. Yet, we've seen a few Kizuna's pass us by.

Yeah, I'm interested to see what a U11 will go for myself. It still doesn't have the same mystique that a Euro KE has, but I'm sure it'll get well above the high price if it's a solid nm or better.

Man, just leave him alone...
Why is everyone flaming this topic, (rather the activity of EXTREME collecting?) people spend 10 thousand dollars on a bottle of wine, 125 dollars on a rare gundam figurine, or even 725 bucks for a PC Engine laptop thingie, (i saw it somewhere) This is a great piece for any collection, no? i doubt that the buyer of this piece spent twelve thousand dollars on an AES cart, when he has three children, a trailer, and a failing buick skylark. This guy is a hardcore collector who drives a Rolls, has money, and enjoys the finer things in life. NEO GEO. If you had THE money, you wouldnt buy this piece of history?

Every time I read this thread, I wish that one day we find an official paper showing the number of cart produced. Working in the industry, I know that every production (whatever the products: carts, car, computer) has a production order. A form (a piece of paper or a computer file version) where you can see what you have to produce, how much and with a deadline for the production. Kizuna euro carts have followed the same process of production than other products so theorically you can know the number of carts produced.

Actually, you can't knock it off here. It's not far from the original selling price compared to Kizuna.
If Kizuna was a new release today, it'll surely cost right away $350 or so. Never 12 Grand. And that 'Laptop' you're talking about is a PC Engine LT, wich is one of the greatest consoles to ever grace the face of earth.
