Well look at the auction, SerialExperiments; its "private" allowing the seller and bidders to collude and pretend it went for an outrageous level, then actually agree with each other to sell it at a much lower price. There is a long thread in the selling forums about this (Farewell_SNK = bmxracist, the seller on Ebay):

Anyway, 99.99% of the people here know about this cart and won't touch it due to the freaked insert, manual, and cart sticker. A few people believe that its actually an authentic SNK manufactured cart (which it probably was originally before NGF replaced the artword), but only a few.
As for what it ends at, you can count on Dion and Chris to freak the price up, then claim that all of the "English" KOF2K's are worth that. It still won't make them sell any better than before, and almost no one wants them as you can see in that thread above and prior Ebay auctions . . . <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />
