WTB: Metal Slug 5 MVS

[ShootTheCore]

Reposting since my original post from a few days ago disappeared into the time warp.

I'm looking for an MVS copy of Metal Slug 5. Gamer condition is fine - all I care about is that the cart works and the boards & chips are authentic. Offering up to $250 depending on cart condition and including inserts and/or box.

Thank you!

Before the time warp happened, people were telling me "Metal Slug 5 isn't that good" and "$250 is too much to offer for that game." That means this should be an easy request right?

Too much from a gamer's perspective (get MS3 instead), not from a collector's perspective, the game is still quite rare.
Good luck on your hunt :-)

Didn't know this game pulled that much money. I suppose most people just don't want to let it go. I know I wouldn't let my copy go for that much.

About 2-3 years ago I had a hard time finding one and ended up paying about 130 for mine even though I saw gamer condition carts for like 70 on the forums.
Checking recent sold prices on eBay shows the cart can get pricey but what is extra surprising is the high price even the bootleg carts are getting. I'm assuming people just don't know? But even one of the auctions was listed as bootleg.
All that said I'll keep an eye out for you if I see a legit one pop up for a fair price.
There is an auction for one legit copy on eBay right now by the neo minibox guy but that's it on there.

So it IS a good game then!!

Thanks man - I appreciate you keeping an eye out. I wanted to avoid Feebay if possible, but it's looking like the best option if I want a cart sooner rather than later. Doesn't hurt to put in a bid I suppose.

Threads and gotta-have-it-right-now attitudes like this inflate prices for the average guy, just saying...

MS5 is $100 loose cart, $150 full kit. Jesus Christ, you people have no fucking patience!

I think the price hike is because the masses are realizing 5 > 3.

Certainly MS 5 was once a $100 loose cart, but even here on the forums it's not that way now. Madman's $200 loose cart sold immediately a month ago, and Neogeohu's $289 loose cart sold immediately a week ago.

"You people"???
I'm offended.

I agree that Metal Slug 5 is a good game. Every big fan of the series should have 4 of the 6 Slugs in their collections:

MS1
MS2 or MSX
MS3
MS5

Only the biggest fans need to get both 2 & X.
And only the completist needs to get MS4. It's absolute garbage.

While I agree that with patience, better prices can be had on carts, sometimes, you just gotta get it now.

At this rate, it will be $823 by the end of the year!!!!!

Proof: (7x89 monthly increase)+200 base

Liquid Snake and I will buy every copy we see to ensure this happens.

In the 15 years I've been a member here, I think that's the only sensible thing I've ever seen you write.

We'll see if Arcade Shock follows through with it-fingers crossed. I definitely overpaid but it is a full kit with matching serials. Thank you for the hook up Karou-much appreciated.
