Yeah, there's honestly no telling, all the Slug deals are backdoor deals where the seller is trying to extort as much money as possible. And then the cart is probably fake anyway.

Maybe something Kyokugen Star can tell us?
Doesn't the JP version go for close to that now? It's pure insanity. lol

I'd say higher, possibly much higher. Hell an aes Pulstar just sold here on the forums for $4500. And a U.S. Slug 2 just sold for $6700.
There's no way to reliably price a U.S. Slug 1.

$50-$80 should get you one easily enough.

Seeing as loose snes metroid carts get listed on Heritage Auctions, probably. Heritage rakes you over the coals on the buyers fees/taxes though.

Right, and of course we should believe all the high end collectors that own these items. They have no reason at all to inflate game prices and are 100% trustworthy arbiters of value.

Give that boy a cookie.
Insanity, that's almost clearing what Euro Kizuna carts used to sell for. Lord knows what a Euro Kizuna today would go for if one surfaced...
I wish we could have year 2002 AES prices again. There were a few gems like Metal Slug you'd have to save quite a bit for, but everything was at least obtainable if you wanted it enough and found it for sale. Now the AES scene is pretty much impossible to enter if you didn't start building your collection way back unless you're only after some of the older titles or incredibly rich plus aren't terrified of buying a boot (I'd never want to crack a case open of a $6,000+ game with the AES screwless cart design). Also, I would actually play a $1,000-2,000 game on a system, not so sure about a $30,000 one... lol
Grats on building your massive collection before all that!
I see the same inflation happening with MVS kits now, at a much slower pace however. Most kits seem to be a lot harder to find than their AES counterparts too(JP AES), especially the older titles... You have to just sit there and wait for the random eBay or forum lottery to produce one of something you want; but they are still a lot cheaper when you do locate them! Funny how that works.

That is actually true. A friend of mine was in a business trip trip in Singapore and he met the shop owner that sold that cart. A very cool mid 60 year old geezer.
needless to say, he has an incredibly high ammount of high end collectibles and rare games at his shop. gotta love them Wondermegas!

I doubt it, a recession doesn't shuffle and deal out cards anew, only a war does.
