C’mon dude… no one likes a cliffhanger. That said, good on you for making the sacrifice to get an item you wanted. It’s the best choice with any collecting hobby.
The fact that he’s slightly hinting at the game by playing it on the MVC Cabinet is some next level foreshadowing I wish I was capable of (or, some next level luck)
Great talk once again, Mr Ness! I understand your choice. I go all in and let go of a bunch of games, for that rare item once it comes up. Excited to see what this is going to be!
I did something similar, sold off a massive chunk of my collection for a larger purchase, with the intention of eventually buying back the sold off collection over several years after I made back that money. Of course, prices shot up almost straight away, so now I need 5x -10x the original value when I sold them, so that's not happening. FML
Yeah I went to a local convention and saw what they are charging for Xbox games now. I was like nope no way I'm buying those again after finding them for so cheap. It's crazy how that happens when you decide to let go of certain games and then the prices spike.
Man, I’ve been in your shoes plenty of times, giving up the usual go-to games just to switch things up with one or two different ones on another system. When the budget’s tight, you gotta figure out the best play or strategy. If I could go back in time, no question-I’d do it all over again. Especially with Neo Geo. Props to you, Elliot. Keep grinding, man.
Wow, this is a very interesting question to propose. Props to you for making that sacrifice to obtain something truly rare and to have the perspective to know that you can still replace what you traded in a variety of ways. I hope the game is awesome for you! Just don't let Tiberius hog it all the time haha.
Where did you get your cases to store your cases. Love the set up the doors. New to the channel love it. I couldn't do it. But respect it and just saw the new video.
I wasn't willing to give up a good portion of my collection for what I wanted but I did end up with my grail - a CIB NTSC-US Neo Geo CD console with the complete library with all the spine labels, all English releases. As I am sure you know, this is super hard to find. I even have extra controllers with the NTSC-US packaging and even some promo stuff.
As collectors are collections are constantly evolving, I’ve changed mine so many times to get the rarer more expensive games I want,but like you say you can get the others back. You might just end up paying more for them that’s all. Great channel dude 😎👍
I actually have been doing this the last few years. I cleared out some retro toys, retro games (a ton of retro games) I’m focusing on a curated collection of games I actually enjoy and would just love to keep. I sold a ton of rare items that I just didn’t have any attachment to. After I sold I felt so much better to be honest. My collection is still big it’s just big with stuff I really want to keep.
With about 3 minutes left, I was literally thinking, “this video seems serious and personal, but I wonder if Tiberius is going to say ‘to be continued…’ before naming the game at the end.” 😂
I get what he is saying, when you are very serious into collection, he wants the original physical copy of the game, since that is his passion, collecting, the hell with emulating.
Dude its your game collection if you want to sell 70% for that one game go ahead if it is what you want to do. I did the same thing with my pokemon games i got a very high mark up for them as i bought them using trade bait and reselling. Then bought the games im most intrested in playing and you are spot on with the notion of being able to rebuy the games at a later date i could always reaquire them so im not missing out and neither are you
Exactly! That was where I weighed the pros and cons. Potentially miss out on a game that I might not see again or hold on to games that I see everyday of the week when game hunting.
I'm debating on selling off some of my doubles and fluff as well. I do have a question for you. Where did you get those glass bookshelves? I would love to pick up a few in the near future.
✊😎✊ Congratulations Tiberius as a true Neo collector myself I believe I know what game you added to your collection and I will say what you did was totally worth it. EER games are almost impossible to obtain these days and it's like you said the games you sold can be put back into your collection much easier over time if you wish to have them again. Enjoy it bro.👍😁👌
I understand it. But me?! NAH. If the opportunity comes up, but I’m not ready….im not ready. I’m too stubborn. And everything I acquire I have emotional attachment to it. That’s what makes the collection special to me. But to OTHERS?! If you are able to get rid of it? Then I guess it’s not special enough to be kept. To each its own. 👌🏾💜
I’ve already cut my collection down to what I love or what I’ll replay again but that being said I’ll be selling everything once we move to Italy. I love having this stuff but it’s also just stuff lol, great vid though my friend! Can’t wait to see what you’re trying to get ❤️🎮
I already got Neo Geo games on various platforms, there's no Neo Geo Game I want that bad, Even the Visco collection came out with Neo Drift out on it. As long as I can play Windjammers, Neo Drift Out, Baseball Stars 2, Shock Troopers, and Metal Slug games in some form of way, I'm chill on Neo Geo Stuff. I would like to have Faselei and Big Bang Pro Wrestling on Neo Geo Pocket Color, but I'm not giving up a collection for it. To each it's own, looking forward to the Big Reveal.
Bold move. Anything disc based to me (99% anyway) is far easier to replace especially filler like greatest hits/platinum etc. Mint, complete carboard is where I draw the line, but thats me. I sold a massive chunk of my childhood that I can never replace without taking out another mortgage - one of my only regrets in life (it was a necessity at the time). I have no love for SNK like you. However, everyone has their own path and obviously NEOGEO is your Mecca. No one can tell you what is right or wrong. I respect the hustle either way! 👊
I just got back into collecting but narrowed it down to just 3 consoles. N64, PS1 and PS2. I emulate mostly but I missed physical stuff and those are my fave systems.
The way you started the video off seemed like you had some deep confessions to tell the pastor🤣. A great discussion at the end of the day as long as you go what you wanted out of it. Great video bro! Keep doing you💯🫡
Well for me I am a player collector, but tbh in regards to neo unless it is an unreleased proto like "sunshine" I personally would not do this. I have passed on games like ntm and early metel slugs because I preferred them on cd, especially with the extras. Given neo is a mvs first system really, the mvs is the true format, but that's my personal opinion :) posters look good.
I just sold off alot of stuff i didnt care for too much and now i have a nice copy of demons crest, mega man x and rule of rose instead. In the end i want to have a very curated selection of games that i really love with the frontside displayed so i can look at them
Well, Mission Neo Geo has earned its name. I love it. You only live once, and I appreciate your passion. If you didn't take advantage of the opportunity, you'd be kicking yourself. So I think you did the right thing for you.
I sadly know exactly what you mean when you say selling or trading for equal value for your collection, but if you feel like how I did it was worth it for a title you are looking for the Neo Geo AES or CD like me. Well buddy congratulations I'm looking forward to the next video.
I live in Vancouver, BC. I travel half an hour to this weird arcade in Richmond just to play Neo Turf Masters. It’s basically 50 cents for half an hour of play. Also, the name sounds like a skinhead gang war
Literally had me stop everything to see what this game was.....and you didn't say it. Come on, how are we supposed to drop a comment when you never revealed the grail game for an example 🤔
oh shit its not neo turf masters? tell me you werent dumb enough to buy that overpriced piece of shit golf game? lol no i have no holy grail game that i put on pedestal its a hobby that relaxes me i dont let it get that serious for me.
Quality Over Quantity
F@cking spit it out already, this isn't a therapy session
C’mon dude… no one likes a cliffhanger.
That said, good on you for making the sacrifice to get an item you wanted. It’s the best choice with any collecting hobby.
Lol my bad. I appreciate it yeah it’s definitely a game I’ve wanted for a while.
The fact that he’s slightly hinting at the game by playing it on the MVC Cabinet is some next level foreshadowing I wish I was capable of (or, some next level luck)
You’re the first one to catch that Easter egg!
"I sold it all for a golf game! It's a great game however." 😂
Regardless, I respect it no matter what game it is. As long as you're happy!
🤣
Great talk once again, Mr Ness! I understand your choice. I go all in and let go of a bunch of games, for that rare item once it comes up.
Excited to see what this is going to be!
Thanks! Excited to share with everyone

I appreciate it!
time stamp on what game he got?? he doesn't tell you in this video
You will find out next video
@@neo_ness no I won't LAME
@@neo_ness... there won't be a next video for me
Thumbs down for the cliffhanger 👎
@@neo_ness lol. Downward thumb incoming FAST!
Neo Geo has always been top tier in Retro Gaming
Quality over Quantity

Props to you for making that sacrifice to obtain something truly rare and to have the perspective to know that you can still replace what you traded in a variety of ways. I hope the game is awesome for you! Just don't let Tiberius hog it all the time haha.
Yeah it was definitely something I knew when it pop up I would need to make a move quickly. I’m for sure making sure Tiberius doesn’t hog it lol
Where did you get your cases to store your cases. Love the set up the doors. New to the channel love it. I couldn't do it. But respect it and just saw the new video.
I store your games.
Thanks! They are Billy Book cases from IKEA. The glass doors are the Oxberg glass doors. They have different colors and versions too.
I wasn't willing to give up a good portion of my collection for what I wanted but I did end up with my grail - a CIB NTSC-US Neo Geo CD console with the complete library with all the spine labels, all English releases. As I am sure you know, this is super hard to find. I even have extra controllers with the NTSC-US packaging and even some promo stuff.
That is an amazing collection you have there! I'm so happy you got your grail. Finding all of them with spine labels is tough these days.
As collectors are collections are constantly evolving, I’ve changed mine so many times to get the rarer more expensive games I want,but like you say you can get the others back. You might just end up paying more for them that’s all.
Great channel dude 😎👍
I greatly appreciate it!
Came back to check this video out again, I just realized, you have Double Dragon playing in the background on the big red at the start. Nice.
You found my Easter Egg.

It feels great to have a collection that brings you joy. 👍
Hate cliffhangers but I will just skip to the most watched part next vid, cool collection btw
Yeah sorry about that lol. Fair enough and I appreciate it.
With about 3 minutes left, I was literally thinking, “this video seems serious and personal, but I wonder if Tiberius is going to say ‘to be continued…’ before naming the game at the end.” 😂

I agree, EER titles are tough to find. I will definitely enjoy, I appreciate you bro!
I already know from the get-go it was a Neo Geo title, can't wait for the title, great video Ness.
Im all for it but dude that SEGA GENESIS collection looked noice!!
I’m rebuilding the Genesis I’ll have an upcoming video soon. Found some extra crispy games so far.
I understand it. But me?! NAH. If the opportunity comes up, but I’m not ready….im not ready. I’m too stubborn. And everything I acquire I have emotional attachment to it. That’s what makes the collection special to me. But to OTHERS?! If you are able to get rid of it? Then I guess it’s not special enough to be kept. To each its own. 👌🏾💜
Yeah it's definitely something I had to think about. Some games are more important to me then others.
Neo Turf Masters. The only stratospheric priced and rarest of the Neo Geo AES games. Gratz sir.
Love this kind of videos. Thanks for your thoughts!
Thanks for watching!
I’ve already cut my collection down to what I love or what I’ll replay again but that being said I’ll be selling everything once we move to Italy. I love having this stuff but it’s also just stuff lol, great vid though my friend! Can’t wait to see what you’re trying to get ❤️🎮
Thanks, it’s hard to let go but sometimes necessary to get what you want.
@ no I get it, it’s not for me is all 😉

Yeah it was a tough decision but I'm glad I did it. Thanks I’m staying on the grind I’m almost done.
*Cues See You Again song* Man, I had a feeling. But glad you were able to get the game you wanted. Can't wait to see what game it is
Yeah it’s one I’ve wanted for a while
There is no game worth selling 70% of your collection for. Measuring the value based on fun, not rarity.
I just got back into collecting but narrowed it down to just 3 consoles. N64, PS1 and PS2. I emulate mostly but I missed physical stuff and those are my fave systems.
Those are great systems to have, I still have a few N64 games
Nice collection! No reveal of game? Bad move, I was interested but won’t be coming back to your channel bruh. Again, though, beautiful collection.
Fair enough thanks for stopping in.
Wtf, bruh I waited watching all this drama to know what it was now i gotta wait? Um no thanks I’m good
Sry thanks for tuning in.
I am not Tucker the sucker, therefore I would not consider selling 70% of my collection for anything.
What game?
The way you started the video off seemed like you had some deep confessions to tell the pastor🤣.
A great discussion at the end of the day as long as you go what you wanted out of it. Great video bro! Keep doing you💯🫡
🤣 appreciate it bro
My 2 Neo grails I’ve accepted I’ll never own, I couldn’t sell my collection to get them 😂
There are two Neo games that I too have accepted I’ll probably won’t have an opportunity of acquiring. Ultimate 11 and Kizuna
Hey Neo Ness, good video. I also have a small Neo Geo collection and have had similar thoughts. Best of luck in the trade and getting your game.
Appreciate it, good luck with your collection too!
He doesn't say what he bought, don't even bother watching.
You already got a subscription for the love of the Neo Geo.
Thanks!
Love that SNK collection!
Bro I did the same thing lol i got rid of all the filler tittles. And kept what i actually come back and play.
Nice!
Well for me I am a player collector, but tbh in regards to neo unless it is an unreleased proto like "sunshine" I personally would not do this. I have passed on games like ntm and early metel slugs because I preferred them on cd, especially with the extras. Given neo is a mvs first system really, the mvs is the true format, but that's my personal opinion :) posters look good.
MVS is definitely the way to go for sure. I appreciate it.
There's only a few Neo games that are over 10k. My guess would be Metal Slug.
I just sold off alot of stuff i didnt care for too much and now i have a nice copy of demons crest, mega man x and rule of rose instead. In the end i want to have a very curated selection of games that i really love with the frontside displayed so i can look at them
Very nice! That’s where I’m at now. I want quality games I’m going to play for time to time that don’t get drowned out by all the filler stuff.
Well, Mission Neo Geo has earned its name. I love it. You only live once, and I appreciate your passion. If you didn't take advantage of the opportunity, you'd be kicking yourself. So I think you did the right thing for you.
I'm glad you think so! I’m glad to have the game and can’t wait to share with everyone.
I sadly know exactly what you mean when you say selling or trading for equal value for your collection, but if you feel like how I did it was worth it for a title you are looking for the Neo Geo AES or CD like me. Well buddy congratulations I'm looking forward to the next video.
Thanks!
Bro it better be a U S. English copy of Metal Slug 1 Aes. 😂
🤣
Sure it is MS1 US. Can’t be Kizuna US
Would be ground breaking if it’s Ultimate 11 lmao 🤣
🤣
I must have missed it (in bed with a flu at the moment)... what game was it?
Game reveal will be in the next video
I'm having an eye orgasm over that AES collection.
He got Neo Turf Masters Neo Geo AES!!!!
Neo Turf Masters, Stakes Winner, Ninja Masters... lets’s see. Congratulations btw.
I live in Vancouver, BC. I travel half an hour to this weird arcade in Richmond just to play Neo Turf Masters. It’s basically 50 cents for half an hour of play. Also, the name sounds like a skinhead gang war
All the fluff you can find again, prioritize the grails! Great video
Many thanks!
Wow, impressively blown 😳 away, my dude, but you had to do what you had to do right ✅️ 👏 . I hope it 🙏🏽 was worth it though . #NeoNess 👨🏾🦲🕹
I’m still partially shocked that I did it.
No need to watch he doesnt reveal the game
Well dang lol
Hater lmao😂
Ya. He got me.
Thank you
Thanks for this... I'll pass on this video
Metal Slug 1 on AES. Congrats
🤣🤣
Oh.. I think I already know which game it is :D
Oh really?! 🤣
@@neo_nessyeah we talked about it a few times :)
You will be surprised then 😄
A Swimming Pool does not make a collectible!!!!
🤣🤣 it sure doesn’t
Literally had me stop everything to see what this game was.....and you didn't say it. Come on, how are we supposed to drop a comment when you never revealed the grail game for an example 🤔
Sry about that. Part 2 is out and discuss the game in detail.
You will regret it
What a ripoff 😂
I know! My bad I normally don’t do the cliffhangers but I had to for this one 🤣
A bunch of rambling bro
👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾
Get a personal loan from the bank
oh shit its not neo turf masters? tell me you werent dumb enough to buy that overpriced piece of shit golf game? lol no i have no holy grail game that i put on pedestal its a hobby that relaxes me i dont let it get that serious for me.
