Cart only or CIB? Generally speaking I don't spend much on games but that's one of the few I might make an exception for one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amermoe | 150 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 5 hours ago, DoctorEncore said: There was a period where I was buying every sigle 360/PS3 special edition, but I had to stop since it was such huge waste of money. Sure, a few of them skyrocketed in value, but the vast majority of them got clearanced for a quarter of the price. Also, they just take up too much space. I'm still a sucker for steelbooks, but only if it's a game I'm already planning to buy and it doesn't double the price. I used to be in the same boat for limited games on the PS3/4 and had to stop for similar reasons. This stemmed from my PS2/prior mindset that special editions were something nice and truly coveted. Now every game released is a special/limited/collector edition and has to be 10 ft tall, which is pure madness. Now I will only buy maybe 1 or 2 collector editions per year of only games I truly like or have an attachment to. I've sold many of my big collector boxes, at a loss - which is to be expected, and looking to get rid of more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetTheGreg | 105 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 My spread sheet goes back to 2012, I probably started collecting back in 2009 though? I used to do it on pen & paper before learning how to use Excel haha. I was 16 at the time so cut me some slack. On a single item, it was actually just a year ago in July 2019. $2041CAD on a sealed Mega Man 2 no stripe variant. Absolutely love the item. A real grail piece. Most on a single purchase was back in 2014. $3500CAD buying a full collection from someone locally. This included stuff like CIB Dino's Peak, Bubble Bubble 2, a "new" DK64 controller, unused consoles, etc. Even back then, $3500 was an unreal price for it all. I had to use my student line of credit for the purchase haha, which is the only time I ever actually ended up using it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems that alone would solve. Good on you that you could do that. Compared, the most I've spent on a sealed old game? $100. I found a beautiful sealed Pokemon Red Version at a goodwill of all places back in September 2018. I have it in a shadowbox on my wall ever since as Charizard is my favorite and that piece of art is too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
