DefaultGen 4,935 Member · Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) I like listening to all perspectives on video games, especially ones that are basically the opposite of how I approach things, kind of the equivalent of someone listening to Alex Jones just to say "What the fuck?". This podcast is from a guy who admittedly has very little experience with video games (he's never owned any video game console) but he's approaching video game collecting from a cold, dispassionate for-profit flipping mentality. The "comic people" have some hot takes compared to the old status quo, but this guy literally doesn't care about video games and I don't think I've ever seen someone who buys video games who doesn't actually care about video games. Not endorsing it, but maybe you're morbidly curious about these perspectives like I am. https://open.spotify.com/show/3eBbdQKv0coj05EmspZ7BB Edited August 19, 2020 by DefaultGen 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't get to the Famicom episode you won't hear about how he's waiting until a Mario sells for $1m before making a black box games episode. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH 4,440 Member · Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Ok, I have an idea. I know we have a few members here that are in Asia. Let's place a group order and get about 50-200 original, famicom Super Mario Bros shipped over here that we've each laid claim too. We can all get 3-5. Once our boat (literally) comes in, we can start posting to social media a BIG, BIG hype-train about the original "genesis" of Mario being that game. Hype, hype, hype, and then we can coordinate pushing these through Heritage. We can make millions each! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptOut 8,434 Member · Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The most obviously misguided part of this, given that he knows nothing about the subject, is how he's assessing the "market movements" of things with no established market value. So, for example in one episode he's talking about how graded Atari games like Pacman are falling in value by like 40% when they go from like 4 grand sales to 2 grand sales in the space of a month. But neither price is meaningful, as the "market" for graded games is FAR too new and volatile to talk about in terms such as "movements" or "trends". He was doing exactly the same thing talking about sealed Halo NFR's, which he clearly doesn't realise are NOT unique one-of-a-kind rarities... SMH!!! The market for graded video games is nowhere near mature enough to reveal rational pricing movements and value trends at this point, which is why we're seeing idiots eat multiple 4 figure loses on, for example, Atari Spiderman! And yet this fool is talking about it as though people had been trading graded games for decades, and the prices we are suddenly witnessing in the past 2 years are normal. Time will tell if it actually turns out that way, but it is WAY too soon to make that call, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But instead of selling through Heritage we can cut out the middle man and sell very tiny pieces of the games ourselves. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to listen to the "in the zone" one about getting investment ideas feeding off negative energy from the reptilian brain. I don't think I've taken that approach yet.
