ebay.de ? who knows, maybe KS is behind this...

and for a game of that caliber, he should put high res pictures.

good luck on selling that...

I also think that seller should post some good pictures. Like this now with no feedback and all, he wont get the price that its worth it if he is a honest seller. But maybe he doesnt have the possibility to make pictures, whatever. I wish the seller and the possible buyer good luck that everything is fine with that deal.

Those slug 1 pics are the same pics from the US Slug 1 that was on ebay last week.

This is a scam, or a convert being sold as the real deal... same thing.

I bet if you email the guy for extra pics he'll make up some bullshit excuse like his digicam doesn't work or something.

I talked to the guy last night, and I told him that he had a very valuable cart on his hands if it is indeed the real deal. I suggested that he take several pictures of each component of the cart on top of the most recent local newspaper. If he doesn't have a digital camera, take regular film to a 1 hour photo and then scan it at a copy service center. The $20 cost to to this could make a difference in the outcome of the auction.

Welcome to the dark side of Neo-Geo...the insane prices brought to you by, NO! NOT supply and demand, Neo-Geo.com.

Rare game...

Man. It's a collectors item. That's all. No one is forcing anyone to buy it, and if the price goes down to $1000, or $600, or $200, who cares, right?

Just the resellers. If the price drops on games it's great for collectors like me because I can complete a collection for less cost. It's not like the thrill of the hunt will subside, you know. Just the pain in my wallet.

I just looked at his other items for sale...

and it looks like he has another auction for both Metal Slug and Metal SlugX.... this one has no bids on it yet.

The Auction for Metal Slug has 3 bids now...

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=1381069174" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=1381069174</a>

This one has MS and MSX:

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1381071188" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1381071188</a>

Also there are no pictures of Slug X???

Lol, this really looks like a scam for me.
He has another metal slug 1 here, but its only the cart, no manual and no box, lol!

Smells like a conversion to me being sold as original <img src="graemlins/shame.gif" border="0" alt="[Shame]" />

<a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=18&t=005556" target="_blank">Neo geo court</a>

I have been offered this and so has another prominent member of this board :D

btw when you was discussing this with me his ebay user id was something like Virtualgaming X or something - honestly cant remember right now

Another fucking scammer.

This is begining to bore me as hell.

I was interested on the Last "real" Metal Slug 1 US I saw at ebay.. but like my credit card was limited, I would only be able to pay through western union/MO or cash. If it was a scam, I wouldn't be able to see my $$$ back.

Oh! and btw... Metal Slug 1 US is decreasing is value. last one sold at ebay : 1915 US dollars.
the highest price Metal Slug 1 US I saw at ebay went up to 2800 US Dollars. that was a huge price decrease.

:rolleyes:
