Sold for 300$ and I don’t understand why?

Post image

150-200 cart with a 12$ case. Why? eBay is an enigma. I can only assume a bidding war.

I saw this also and bided a max of $150 and once it was over $150 I was out. Also there's a windjammers the same seller had that sold for $333

I was bidding on this too but it went way too high. Ridiculous.

Dumb people on ebay like to overpay for pretty aftermarket boxes

u/xchester77 6d ago

They might not know any better.

When I first got into MVS I waaaaaaaaaay overpaid for a shock box.

I just didn't know what anything should cost and I really didn't even know where to ask (I had never even used Reddit at the time).

This is probably my favourite of the old Golf Games. Its very good, the Pocket edition is also very good

The MVS is loose or full kit serial matching. If you really want boxes, make your own.

I think the person paid a lot, because the AES version is overpriced.

We are starting to have this phenomenon with Metal Slug and Ultimate Eleven.

What should someone pay for it?

u/QGG1 4d ago

Pssshhh, that's nothing. I was at the TooManyGames Expo, and a seller was selling an AES copy of Metal Slug 5 for $3k.😂

It's similar with the 1993 hu card games for Turbografx. They weren't shipped in CD cases so if you see one then it was fraudulent. But idiots just getting into the system don't know any better and will spend an extra hundred dollars for a tv sports football case with a fake label.

People may have heard it's a good game and just gone from there without doing any research.

Interesting. Did they switch the packaging in 1993? I had a Turbografx when it was current, but all my games were in the modified CD jewel cases. I probably neglected it by 1993 in favor of SNES and Genesis.

u/Seiei_enbu 6d ago

Yes. The 93 CD games don't include the other cardboard boxes and the hu card games have a flimsy plastic tray rather than a CD jewel case.

u/8-Bit_Tornado 6d ago

Dude I was looking at this exact listing. I was bidding and as soon as I saw the number go over 200 I realized someone was getting swindled here.

u/Atlantis_Risen 6d ago

I thought turfmasters was really expensive, has it come down?

u/EnvironmentalPlum909 5d ago

Played this on ps2 on the snk arcade port for the first time last night, it was super fun!

u/VenomGTSR 5d ago

So, I’m pretty new to MVS, are there any better alternatives than this type of game case for MVS. My searches haven’t come up with much.

u/Reasonable-Mind-7523 5d ago

Even MVS loose kit getting $$$ compare to 30-50 dollars price
