How much is a 'fair' asking price for METAL SLUG X, or METAL SLUG 2 (Japanese AES ver.)?

I have found a local guy who is quoting an "under $500" quote, until I see him in person. I just need to be more prepared to see what is a reasonable price.

Thanks!

Think it can be at least $ 700 a piece, maybe more if mint.

Avoid a sub $500 Slug x or Slug 2 like ebola.

How can I tell if it is a bootleg or fake? Can you kindly provide a picture of the actual game and its case (remember, it is a Japanese version for the AES)

Thanks!

Wow, that bad, huh!? Does it mean that they are bootlegs?

under cart pics, remember there is a ''main'' page here.
that said you can't see the details, apparently the fakes have become so good experts would have a hard time telling from the outside...seeing these facts I went mvs so as not to have to deal besides $$$. so someone else will have to say what the tells are? something about dotmatrix or somesuch and squarecorners?! no manual is a hint too?

so slo:

Yeah afraid so.

Did those weird NEO GEO 'Freaks' ever updated the inserts of these games as well? Or was it for the US version?

If the seller can not provide satisfactory provenance and/or you don't know how to spot fakes then i would suggest to avoid a purchase...

I bet they don't have manuals

It would be quicker and cheaper if you gave one of your friends $300 to wear a beret and a string of onions while he fucks you from behind.

Thanks for your comments. OK, do you guys recommend a reliable online source for NEO GEO games?
