I'm being Serious. What kind of scam are you trying to pull? This isn't that kind of forum. You better do a better job at checking up prices before trying to scam members. Even shitbay sells this cart on the cheap.

I'm not implying that you aren't serious. I completely agree with your statement "Why not buy the Regular NeoSd for the same price and get something better that plays all the neo games."
The point I was making with "It's like buying jewellery, seriously. We could be playing multiple systems perfectly on a MiSTer, or use the cash to get a PS5 / Xbox Series X. Trust me when I say I ponder my choices too," is exactly that as collectors of AES carts, we place a value on form over function, when there are alternatives for the same thing yet we still choose AES carts over MVS, MVS over FPGA, FPGA over emulation, and so on. There's nothing wrong or right with that, it's just a choice we all individually make. It's not a criticism on you or what you feel, you are entitled to it.
What does piss me off is your baseless allegation of me pulling a scam. A scam occurs when there is misrepresentation. What am I misrepresenting here? Am I advertising something and delivering something else? The items in the photos are exactly the items the buyer will be receiving.
You next make the statement of me not checking up on prices and then subsequently compare it with an item different from the item you feel that I have overpriced for.
This is typical disingenuous misdirection. It's like showing an ad for a Toyota Altis to a Maserati salesman and telling him, "Hey, man, this car also gets me from point A to point B. You have overpriced your Quattroporte. What kind of scam are you pulling?"
And if you actually did your own research on pricing before spouting off, you'll see that Mutation Nation is not a "$350-450 dollar game at best" game.
The last one that got bidded up to $363.50 is beat-up, has its insert completely sliced off at the top.
And a current listing at $474.05 is by a seller who is known to not have the stock in hand, and fails on delivery.
On the less common build:
1. 1-9312 batch
2. Hotline: 06(339)0110
3. Address: 18-12
This is factually accurate. Again, you are entitled to your opinion on whether there is a premium for this, but that does not detract from the fact that it is less common. None of the above carts mentioned are of this build.
All said, I've wasted too much of my time on this post and I can't be arsed to respond any more. People who find there is value in what is on offer can PM me directly. If you don't, just close the thread and go do something with your life, I mean, we're all in our 40's and 50's, working professionals with children, duties and responsibilities, for fuck's sake.
I used to like this forum and I've found some measure of joy in contributing useful content and also gleaning interesting/useful information from other members, but it's tipped to the point where there's too many shitposts from absolute tools.
I actually liked Rot's necessary and hard moderation. I foresee this forum dying from too much unrelated crap. (Who's paying for and hosting the server now?)
