Asking questions like that gets you a Dion headlock scenario.

Ya its a bit crazy, AES prices have gone bonkers since then. You could get most of the JPN library for under $100 when that was written. Im pushing 50 carts but i only play a half dozen or so regularly. Not a huge desire to play World Heroes when i have Garou and Last Blade but even that game seems to have tripled in price in the last year. Most of the commons i have i found in lots and didnt really seek them out.
With AES less is more and you are better off just getting a few great games that you enjoy. You should be shamed for not owning a copy of Sam Sho 2 ./ Sam Spirits 2 though.
I wouldn't buy slug 1 even if i had the money. 30 grand is retardedly expensive for a console game. If i were that rich i would buy high end sega machines with lockheed martin technology and stuff like that.
I don't think it's retarded, he can always sell it a few years down the road for 40 or 50k

Totally obtainable at good prices still, although MotW can be tricky with the eBay sellers confusing prices.KOF 02

Probably Japan - Yahoo Auctions, Suguraya, etc. I've seen many carts on Yahoo Auctions Japan sell for a pittance (well, a pittance in AES terms) to be directly sold on US Ebay for double or more the price over the last couple years. You can also get some amazing deals on Suru where many carts are sold for substantially more on the US market. I've purchased over half of my AES games from Suru and have been pleased with every purchase. I purchase 90% of my games for other consoles from Suru as well. Even CD games - always come in good to very good condition. Over the last two years they have become my most trusted and consistent source for amazing import game deals.Right now the list is Baseball Stars 2 and Mutation Nation.
two games that aren’t very sought after.
the fact that we see highly sought after games on eBay every day, such as Ninja Masters, Kizuna, SSVS, Pulstar, Metal Slug X, etc, should be a cause for alarm. These are probably getting medium scrutiny because of perceived value.
where are those carts really coming from?
Not that I'm the authority on this or anything, but I learned a lot over the last few years getting back into the AES biz and put together a buying guide on my website worth checking out - at least I think so. https://www.bokujinsroom.net/resources/neo-how-to-gamesIf I found AES MotW for a good price, I would probably jump on it. Same for any of the Metal Slugs. The risk of games being bootlegs, is one reason I don’t want to pay big money for games, though.
Surugaya needs better photos.

Long as you know the tell-tale signs of a boot, Yahoo auctions isn't so scary a place and the mark-up from middlemen like From Japan and ZenMarket (like 3% I think) still leaves you coming out way ahead 99% of the time.
