[Yagyu Jubei]

Sweet Holy Jesus! Look at all these carts !Arcade!'s selling....Is this a warehouse sale or something?

Not much of a "sale." Real bout for for $50, cart only? I got mine for $25 with an original header. Pricing seems high on just about everything, even for eBay.

Hehe...I'm using "sale" quasi-sarcastically, I was just shocked that !Arcade! decided to flood Ebay with carts for sale. I'm curious on what's going on with them?

Those MVS carts were used to test the Phantom-1 convertor. Apparently !Arcade!
no longer needs them. The prices seem a bit high, tho'.

Three Neo cart systems @ $150 Buy it Now, not bad if you need a backup system. Wonder what serial numbers they are . . . <IMG SRC="smilies/eek2.gif" border="0">

i wish that ebay instituted an "ignore" feature cuz !Arcade! is littering my MVS search with overpriced carts...

Those cart systems caught my attention as well. I wonder what kind of condition they're in. I found the item descriptions to be a bit spartan for my liking.

Not a single @#$!ing one of those carts is a Metal Slug 3 MVS. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm seriously starting to doubt it's existence. That's right, Metal Slug 3 does not exist on MVS.....


Somebody please prove me wrong and sell it to me for a decent price <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

 

[Yagyu Jubei]

I emailed !Arcade! and they said that it's the console only, no joysticks, cables or anything.

They also said that all the consoles are guaranteed to work with the MVS converter. So $150 is a decent deal. Shipping is expensive though.

I don't think $150 for a console only is a good deal. It seems high to me. Neo power supplys are bitch to find and usually expensive. Probably a minimum of $50 right there. Now your up to $200. Throw in another $20 - $30 for an AV cable or RF adaptor and probably another $45 - $50 for and old style stick and you're up to $280 for a system with no box or manual. I guess it's not terrible, but it's not great.

I wonder why none of the AES Carts he has for sale have manuals except MOTW!!!

 

[BBH]

$20 (and $12 shipping!! even the shipping price seems high) for bare carts of Samurai Shodown, Fatal Fury, Fatal Fury 2, Art of Fighting, and World Heroes 2? Yeah, right. Good luck buddy.

Kinda funny scrolling through the list and seeing all the "No Bids Yet" messages though.

 

[koolking]

These auctions are a little suspicious.

 

[samuraiX]

hmmmm.... I may know how they got those cart systems if people are interested. Please contact me privatly and I can fill you in on what I might know about them.

I got my high serial number Home System on eBay with the AC adaptor and composite video cable for $130 buy it now.

So $150 for console only does seem a little bit higher, but I guess it would depend on the condition and serial numbers.

I guess $150 isn't too bad... I'm sure they'll sell.

Wasn't Arcade buying broken systems a few months ago? Like $50 a pop or something? Looks like he may have fixed them <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
