Let's talk about your NEO GEO collecting + PRICE GUIDES

The adapter still has not shipped it seems

Did you order from JammaBoards.com?
Because he is known for slow shipping.

I got one of those adapters to play Jamma PCBs in my MVS, it took a while to get here. Finally I sent him a message asking when it would ship, and he had it out hours after the reply.

So my advice is to light a fire under his ass, shoot him a message and hopefully you'll get your adapter sooner.

Thanks for the advice, I sent a message. I had hoped that by ordering it so early in the week it would go out quickly, and I could have it before the week was over but oh well.

Well what do you know, I got a response pretty quick, apologizing for the delay, and he said it would go out tomorrow, and he was upgrading the shipping to priority!

A work in progress I'll share w/ you guys. I've been compiling a US NGPC price guide, basically for my own reference while collecting. The following is based solely on recent eBay Completed's - and only for US games that are CIB. (The exceptions being Faselei! and Last Blade of course, which are the only US games that were released cart-only, in which case US version is identified by presence ESRB logo). If there's no price next to a game, that means that there were no recent Completed's for US/CIB copies. This is very ballpark, as I just took any recent Completed's and simply averaged them so certainly there will be a margin up/down but this is the start of at least a handy guide to give you an idea what you might be looking to pay if you're collecting US/CIB games.

Goodtimes! Great list..

[noiseredux]

something else of note - I only own 2 Japanese NGPC games, but both of them are like this. It seems that the JPN cardboard boxes are a bigger square (taller) than the US ones. And instead of opening like a book like the US ones, they just open from the top (like a GBA box for example).

Nice work - thanks.

When do the JP / UK versions come out?

[SpoonyBard]

Great list! I wish someone would do this with the MVS/AES/CD too, it's such a pain to track that stuff on VGPC.

[mjmjr25]

The MVS priced guide by Xian Xi is mostly accurate. If the label is missing / worn / replaced and cart is in bad shape, lean toward the lower end of the table. If the label is original and cart / label are in good shape, lean toward the higher end.

NEO GEO MVS PRICE GUIDE

I'm actually working on an AES price guide currently and should be done soon...

[SpoonyBard]

I always forget about Xian Xi's list. I usually just pay what people ask for MVS carts. If it's cheap I take it, if it's something I want I just throw money at them until they mail it to me.

Looking forward to that AES list. I'd imagine that's a bit of a tough one though, a lot of those sales are pretty few and far between.

[mjmjr25]

AES is tough just because value varies so extremely wildly with the region and different artwork releases. There's US/JP/EUR and then carton/snapcase/slip case/artwork variants on quite a few titles as well. There'll be quite a few "pending" notations until I can document enough sales to notate an actual trend.
