Just have patience Matt Damon. I've purchased/sold a nice loose cart and a full near mint kit all in the last several months. They do pop up though. Good Will Hunting...i mean good luck hunting!
You want to find an original, working BUST-A-MOVE cart, in OK shape, with boards that match the mvs board scans site.

Thanks, man!
And hey, it could be worse. At least I didn't *find* one and then ask for the best offer (so long as that meant it was over $80).
@Tyranix Oh, definitely. Condition doesn't matter. I just want the label to say Bust-a-Move (even if it's scratched or torn), as I have an affinity for it.
And something to help you out along the way, so you don't over pay.

For reference, when I bought my loose BAMA several months back (super clean, holo label) I paid close to $100 for it from Xian Xi/James. When I got the full kit to replace it, I resold it for the exact same amount. It took like 2 seconds to sell so it is in pretty good demand. I think if you can get a clean copy, anything under $100 is a good price. XX has a good sense of the market as well.

I got incredibly lucky with my Puzzle Bobble. The one I have now came with my original Neo Geo cabinet, and it's the two EPROM, rest PROM version of the game. I had no idea at the time how rare that was 
Sometimes you get lucky. I was pawing through a resellers box of MVS carts last month he got from a local operator. Had had about a dozen BAM/Puzzle Bobble carts with perfect looking labels, but I couldn't really open up anything on the spot and the couple I slanted to the light to look through the slats had multiple EPs on the top board. Maybe I'll go back and see what he has left and scrutinize the BAM carts a little more. His price wasn't horrible, he wanted $60 each, and I can probably talk him down a bit if I buy multiples... I'm sure if there are a few originals in there people here would be happy to have them for around that price. I'll see if I can make another trip with a screw driver

Oh... Nice! That label doesn't look too bad, and the price is nice for a non-bootleg version!
don't be discouraged and not a ridiculous request at all, it's not difficult to find a legit bust-a-move-- of the 4 i have i only came across 1 bootleg (and it was a puzzle bobble). though i'm not willing to part with any of mine (i've been hoarding legit and mint BAM/PB and BAMAs) i did manage to find a BAM kit for $79 shipped about a month ago, so i mean they're out there.
