Considering you're like a PCB market analyst, I would guess you have a better understanding of its value than anyone else here.

PS. you should have it dumped.

Thank you brother!!

Always very nice and constructive comments! You must be a really good guy to hang out with!

But I bought this in 2008 for 25 euro so it might have increased a little in value.

:wtf:

Any valuation would be a wild guess. Either put it up for sale at a crazy price and see what offers you get or auction it. I think this one might appeal more to Japanese buyers to be honest.

To be fair, I think my offer of €50 counts as a crazy price…

Number 3 of 5... To a collector this would be worth more than the AK and Mushi home versions

I believe he said nothing obvious other than missing credits. Given that this appears to be from a final location test two weeks before the master ver date, that would make sense.

DFK AOU penis laser version is the ultimate grail. $10m at least.

I don't own a regular MBL unluckily. It seems hyper specifications are very different.

I might send it to someone on this forum to compare it carefully against normal MBL

(Maybe I should make a thread about this and leave this one)

No need to do that, unless you really want to. Over on CAVE-STG we documented the location test differences back in 2008. Here is a summary of the differences, compared to the official DSMBL release:

-Cannot power up with the counter at 500, must wait until 1000 (like Deathsmiles).
-Plus value is not shown beneath the counter during play (like Deathsmiles).
-Crowns are sucked up too fast, making it more difficult to break them.
-Cannot go directly to the Castle stage, you need to go through the Canyon or Ice Palace first.
-Tree boss is harder.
-Plus value resets to zero when you die (on the official release it only reduces by 30%).

Need help to price a couple PCBs. Galaga 88 Namco system1 and Gun Frontier on the big single taitoboard. Seen prices be all over the place. Don't want to rip anybody off but selling because I need the funds so don't want to let them go to cheaply either.

I've been out of the loop on MVS prices.
Any input on the following original MVS titles please?
- Ninja Master's (clean original JP label)
- Twinkle Star Sprites (fake JP label)
- Operation Ragnarok (original JP label with strong crease in the middle)
- Garou Mark Of the Wolves (original JP label, some old yellowed tape on parts of the label)
- Blazing Star (clean US label)

Cheers

Garou is slowly creeping up, not sure which is the preferred version though.
