A Retro Collector’s Dream: Neo Geo Glass Cleaner Goes Under the Hammer
Imagine stumbling upon a piece of arcade history in the form of a rare Neo Geo glass cleaner. Originally distributed to arcades by SNK, this bottle is now being auctioned off at an astronomical price - 300,000 yen. Its golden age origins have transformed it into a sought-after collectible among retro gamers and enthusiasts, thanks to its scarcity.
This particular cleaner, found salvaged from a closed arcade, is still intact in its original packaging. Once destined to be used by operators with water dilution for cleaning purposes, this Neo Geo glass cleaner represents a piece of nostalgia and gaming history.
Question: Could you afford to pay 300,000 yen for such a relic from the golden age of arcades? Would you consider it an investment in retro gaming heritage or simply too steep a price for cleaning supplies?
Even for a collector there’s a big difference between a rare game and a rare barely-related bit of paraphernalia
