Most of those "NEW" neo geo units on Moreoshop do have a slight used look about them, damaged joystick balls, missing manuals, different components in box, hmm...

 

That's because just about all of their gear was former Telegames/Direct 4 Games/Whatever We Want to Call Ourselves This Week stock. I don't know that they are necessarily being dishonest about what they were told the condition of the stuff was when they bought it from Telegames, but like much of Telegames' stock, it's not necessarily brand new nor is it necessarily direct from the manufacturer, but rather obtained from wholesalers and other sources over the years in large liquidation lots.

 

So in all honesty you can't really say they are new, if they have passed through many hands then it's likely that some of them are a little used and it's likely that some are just mint second hand machines. Calling them new is stretching the truth a little. Looking at 6 of them, not one of them jumped out at me and said "Yes I am minty fresh new, honest guv". You also said Telegames who were know for selling mint second hand stuff as new...

 

Any of them are new ... I can see that there are "details" that shown that this systems aren't new. I have a friend with a genuine new neogeo aes and there are little "differences".

All are in "mint" conditions (well maybe all no) as I can see but any of them are new. How can be a joystick new if it is unboxed por example or has the ball damaged? Or how can be a consola new if he has erased letters or missed things??

If this systemas are "new", than I have 3 new neogeos :dance:

I'm agree with Jamtex. I think the shop must say "mint" in some cases but never new.

 

I´m looking for the fault proof way to judge if it is new or not!

 

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Unused, but touched. I got a new GT from Direct 4, the box had clearly been opened but the contents were untouched, just checked I guess. So not new I suppose as a new console has an unopened box. So yeah those neos aren't new. But where to find an unopened boxed neo home system. How would you ever know it had never been open. Meh!

 

That moero has also got this in stock: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nam-1975-cens-cov-NeoGeo-AES-US-Neo-Geo-NEW-SEALED_W0QQitemZ320176185575QQihZ011QQcategoryZ72503QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

What the hell?

 

Brand new my arse ! You can see where the back cover has been taken out of the slip plus the sticker has loads of air bubbles in it.

My past sales....

Japanese AES New & Unused: $600
April 2007

I sold a second one that had a "not new" controller for about $500, I think, around the same time.

I haven't seen any new ones on Yahoo for quite some time.

 

Just my opinion, but the items on Moero aren't new. There are actually quite a few signs.

There are a few ways that you can tell. One are the cables, some of which have obviously taken out of their twist ties. New cables are wrapped perfectly and use black twist ties. On one of his units the twist tie is green.

If the controller ball is cracked then it's used.

The condition of the baggies are also suspect. New units usually have mostly unbent, clear baggies. On one of the console the baggies looks like it's been bundled up in a ball for most of it's life. It's 100% wrinkled. That shouldn't be like that on a system that's supposed spent most/all of it's life in the box.

 

and the fact someone has taken a pen to the cover and censored the cleavage, leg AND ankle of the girl!

 

Maybe the game was being sent to the middle east. I do like the way he says...

Then says

 

I talked to someone on NG.com and he sold two brand new unopened US gold system many years ago for $1200 each.

Why are the new systems in the Mega 330 boxes? I didn't know the systems ever came in those boxes? I though it's either the rental or black boxes.

 

wheelaa: Do you mind me asking when you got the GT from direct4? I wanted to get some games from them but they cut down on my video games listing on Ebay and even changed their Ebay ID from video-games to discsunlimited or sth and their site is still down albiet saying that they will be back in Oct, 07. Many thanks in advance.

 

Ages ago. They sold the lots of stock to the shop we've been talking about..well that's what I heard. I got jammy tbh..got all the NOS homecarts i wanted just before they stopped selling them..and for cheap damn prices lol.
