Gulag Joe | 582 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Just gonna put this out there- the SVB collapse might have an impact on alternative assets like sealed and graded video games. Might start seeing prices begin to spike up again as all these cash pullouts are floating around and investors look to trade some of that cash for some sealed Al Unser NES. Might be a good time to sell this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta keep your bread and butter suckers on the hook somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, there was a bit in an episode of the original Duck Tales that went along similar lines, with the boys trying to jump in after Uncle Scrooge did, busting their asses, complaining about it, then Scrooge popping up near them with a big grin on his face, basically winking at the impossible physics of it all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOURTURN | 1,256 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 You guys are making me feel bad that I am too broke to know the Ghost of Christmas past, trick him the first time to a point where The Punisher was released on the NES, trick him the second time so Jon Bernthal could sign any copies I could buy, and then force @MrWunderful to take one of the signed copies after it was graded by Wata. That, and you guys are also making me want to watch the new DuckTales series, even though my DVR has stuff I need to catch up on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of the first 3 episodes, might be the pilot. “How does he do that?” It might be a cartoon but it’s pretty funny even watching as a grown up. Launchpad crashing everything he flies in every episode he’s in is a great running joke. Edited March 17, 2023 by Gulag Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No those are alternative assets too. Regular assets are cash, stocks, bonds, etc. I guess gold bars are regular when traded for their value since they're (ostensibly) the basis of fiat currency, but gold coins are alternative if treated as collectible and traded for something other than thair face value? Somebody correct if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link | 2,707 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Cash and financial products are traditional forms of money. Video games and cars and bitcoin are not. I only use trad because it's predictable and I can buy anything I want with it. You can say the former is bad if you want, I'm not going to argue. Most people who say that seem to be at the level of flipping expensive items and I am not. All I know is the grocery store and my mortgage don't take sealed games and my job doesn't give them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
