Talking about a holy grail...

check this out:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3089373002

it goes for $10.000, the seller says there are only 5 copies know to excist (I thought only 2) :Hangman:

I read somewhere some guy even offered $200 for a picture of the game. :smt017

 

God damn paying so much money for a game is totaly insaine :Hangman: and i thought there were only 2 copy's (read it in edge retro somewhere)

 

ah the edge retro.. I read it there, now I remember..

 

That's a crazy price to pay for a game !! I wouldn't even pay that much for a system !

Yakumo

 

Sweet Jeezus!

Whats the bet the seller bought it in a car boot sale or something for $5?

 

Man, I would soil myself if I found *anything* Neo Geo at a flea market :smt027

By the way, shouldnt this be in the ebay topic? :smt040

 

yeah sorry.. I read that after I posted this.. :toimonster:

 

well then please repost it so this one can be closed :smt040

 

I dont agree this is a ebay topic seeing as the auctions over and its a talking point for the game. Not a sale topic!

 

The ebay thread was made to place all ebay related stuff in (sales,trades,interresting links etc..), otherwise the board would be overrun by topics started by ebay links, i have had to close half a dozen in the last 24 hrs because no-one listens.

 

Man, I'd buy a helluva car with that money

BTW, what's the game about? I suppose it's your regular 2D fighting game, but you never know

 

Yceman: It supposedly is a 2D tag-team fighting game.

 

Is the JPN/NA release very rare? Forgive me, I know dick about NeoGeo.

 

This to me is the type of item that someone is going to find ten thousand of in some warehouse.

 

Finished @ $ 10000

That is just insane :Hangman:

 

I think Assembler did an article about this game. I remember saying that there were like 50 copies made. However, there are a whole bunch of bootlegs that really look like the real thing, they're even made with the same PCB board layout and chemicals to make the plastic look the original. They even do a good job with the manual, case and paper. I guess it's just one of those games that it really isn't worth it. Even if you had a million dollars because the chances of it being a boot leg are really high.

 

I'd rather havea car, HDTV LCD screen, mail-order bride, etc.

 

Gaijin: Jap one is worth about $600, can get it cheaper uif you're lucky.

 

Ah. Not too expensiev then, by NG standards.

 

mail-order bride :smt043 :smt043

no luck with gals in tokyo? ;-)
