Because of how rare and expensive Cheetahmen II is, I had pretty much given up on ever being able to afford a copy.  I regularly check the Action 52 listings on eBay, just in case someone lists a Cheetahmen II cart thinking it is an Action 52.  Well, last week I actually found one!  It was listed as an Action 52 cart, with one blurry picture, from a new seller with 0 feedback.  Even though it was just one blurry front picture, I recognized immediately that it was a Cheetahmen II cart.  It was (just barely) in my price range, so I figured it was worth the risk since it could be my only chance to own one.  The cart does have a crack in one corner, but I'm okay with that.  I paid $279.99 after shipping, so it was still pretty expensive, but I'm pretty sure it's the cheapest Cheetahmen II cart I'll ever have a chance to own, so I am extremely happy!  I guess good deals can still be found on eBay!

nice pickup! Im convinced im still going to find this for next to nothing somewhere tho as several cases of them were sold here in Cleveland. They are floating around and ima get me one. Paying high $'s for good titles is one thing. But not sure I could live with myself if I paid anything large for this pile of shit.

Nice find congrats on owning the most wanted, unplayable expensive game there is....I would say myriad is more expensive but it's somewhat playable.

-------------------------

Got any of these for sale? Sell them to me. I also buy other NES Publisher inserts, and even GB/GBC, and SNES inserts too.

Interesting about them being sold in Cleveland. 

Nice snag on the game though!

i did pass over it. i was looking at all of the action 52 listings for the past 2 months, and ended up buying one from an NA member instead. i remember this one because of its price, but i didnt want to take a chance on a blurry photo from a low feedback seller.

GREAT SCORE HOMEGIRL
