Viability of collecting MVS kits?

[Ibows]

Gold is time proven to be a solid investment.

A good coffe table book can start all sorts of conversations.

Prostitution would have the highest amount of money down to getting laid ratio.

I imagine the best case conversation scenario would go like this
"hey, why do you have a shelf full of brown cardboard boxes?'
"oh those are neogeo videogames"
"oh awesome I loved playing neogeo at the pizza place down the street as a kid! can we play some?"
"no"

this makes me laugh at least once a day. everyday.

I know! you should buy 2 of every game - one to play, one mint copy for the shelf!

but he will never play them. that are conversation starters.

you know- for the ladies.


because our love of video games has done nothing but help us with the ladies. I get all my best moves from kratos and my pick up lines from duke.

Don't think of MVS kits as conversation starters. Think of them as virginity insurance.

We're getting on the NEO band wagon because our dollar is really strong. A few years back we were only getting 60 cents to $1 US. We're now at $1.05 to $1.00 USD.

Neo has never been so affordable for Aussie's hence the influx of us lately.

By that logic there should be an influx of Australians in almost every video game enthusiast forum on the internet. You must be the ring leader.

Anyway, full MVS kits as conversation starters? man... get a candy cab or something if it HAS to be video games. My record player and associated vinyls attracts a bit of attention for example.

I am new to the neo geo collecting game and was wondering if anybody can assist -

I am contemplating owning some MVS kits. They will never be touched, just used as conversation starters. My question is, have MVS kits appreciated much over the last 10 years? I was hoping for some perspective from the experienced collectors as to their worth so I can make an informed decision to begin purchasing or not. Thankyou.

Buying games that you never play, or even open the box?

That's the correct answer!

 

[SNKorSWM]

Games you can't play
Carpets you can't walk on

That's how the big tymers roll. XD

Games aren't stamps or baseball cards that are meant to sit on a shelf or in a box. They should be played. One of my biggest peeves in this hobby are folks who hoard and store games just because. Every game just sitting on the shelf collecting dust is one less that is out there in the wild being played. Nothing burns me more than going to a collector's home or storage unit only to find games rotting away. Anyway that is my rant.

If you want a conversation starter there are many possibilities, but let's try and keep the games out there in the wild for folks who appreciate them to play and enjoy.

You got a point on that last one. I never thought to use Neo Geo games ONLY as conversation starters... Fuck playing them, that shit will get me insta-laid.

Hmm, maybe this will go in the N.G Fourms Hall of Fame one day... I can only dream!
