TL-DR: I want an AES, European preferred, but others are fine. Don't need a princess, a pig will do.

So I'm dipping my toe in the pool. I've been out of the neo game a long, long time. And it seems a bad time to be wanting to get back into it. How and ever, I'd like to see what's out there, what the damage would be.

I'm looking for an AES. Doesn't need the box, doesn't need to be pretty. Just needs to be working. Serial numbers don't mean shit, and I don't care if it's got a CD pad, or the stick. Just your bog standard, basic AES. I'd prefer a European one, so I don't have to get a plug convertor, but if the price is right I'd go Asian or American. If anyone has an ugly one, that's hanging around, not being loved, I'd be interested. Just be ready, because even though the market is inflated, and Ebay flippers will pay through the nose, I will low ball you. So come in low, we will go from there.

Hey I'll even take one with a cracked case... Ah memories.

I may have the fugliest AES ever conceived by man... its spray painted blue... by that scammer Sonofx51...

two joypads with LED lights... unsure where the psu and RGB leads are...

Pretty sure it was working 7 years ago...

When starting a deal with rot, it is best to be patient. He is a busy man. That said, anyone who has a bashed, bruised, and bullied system: let me know.

Regards
69 so fine.

You have got to post a picture of this thing once you have a moment.
Not sure if there is one already somewhere in the forum history (nothing turned up in my search), but I am picturing a more fully realized monstrosity than this:

Honestly, it looks more like Photoshop to me. It's so unpleasant that the blue barely feels real given the lighting of the picture. And yet somehow it must be real, because it's dirty or unpainted within the lines at the top of the case.

Oh my god that's amazing! Rot, ive got cash to give! (I know you said youd give it to me, but I still feel you deserve compensation) I've also got a uk address you can post to. I'd love to get that blue meanie in my house! Play some Sam sho on the mega man AES!

I don't really make New Years resolutions. But this year I want to get back into the neo geo. this sounds like the perfect path.

Ha! Was prepared for the very worst, and it's surprisingly less offensive than I imagined.
More or less reminds me of this one, actually:

Well it looks magnificent. For what I want which is just a working system. I don't care about how ugly it is. I want to get back into the neo geo. and to me that means playing games I enjoy. Not dusting off carts and systems and talking about how much it all cost. Though it looks more a silver than a blue. Either way the 20 quid is yours rot. I'll give this beast a home.

Turkish Delights... not Fry's tho...

I know... I know...

xROTx

What's he want? Cadburys turkish bars? That's easily gotten.

Also if that thing smells like a pi pi you're gonna get it. If it lacks that distinct AES smell (albeit with some spray paint) I'll be on my way to your wonder emporium of a shop.... And I know what azn pi pi smells of.

All this thread needs now is for that Banana Yellow AES to make an appearance.

I forget which member here won that one off the bay but it was wild!
