ALTQQ | 87 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Prices have been on a steady rise since like 09 I wouldn't count them going down anytime soon. Everytime I sell something I'm always surprised at what ppl will pay for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I've been more eager to sell in the current market. Holding out on a few items that I want to sell as I think prices have a way to go for premium stuff, but overall been very happy with my sales lately. I still plan on keeping the bulk of my collection but have had no trouble letting go of some higher priced items at current value even if they continue to rise. I don't understand the NFT business but some of those sales are nutty for digital content ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,953 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Wow for NP, that's asinine. Especially if it's #1 given it had a mass printing. I never got why #2 wasn't the most expensive as that's where it started as strictly pay, had the lowest circulation, plus all the whining do gooder mommy trolls bitching about the beheaded dracula on the cover like it was going to corrupt the youth of america. That one I would figure would be the money maker. I'm just glad a year about now I got 1+2 and quite a few of the others from the first few years in a relatively cheap bundle. #1 the cover was wrecked like 90% detached, but as I figured, on was better than off and re-attached it as it's for fun. I imagine some doofus would probably pay what I got the lot for or more given that. Funny thing is #2 is in excellent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could buy all of the early issues reprinted as back issues all the way through 1996 directly from Nintendo Power Magazine! lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see where all the games being auctioned off on Heritage right now ended up at. Those sales are going to bring even more people and exposure to the hobby. If the auctions continue to end with unreal prices being realized, I might have to send some of my stuff to Wata, crossover some of my VGA games with them and send them off to Heritage Auctions.

I had most the Fun Clubs other than the first and second, and every issue up through when Future One took over, got insulting in their first issue, and I pitched it in the trash and canceled the sub. Lugged that couple hundred pound plus pile of awesome with me for a long time. These days I have probably 80 issues or so, almost all under 100 and a local super cheap buy that got me a good portion of that started it, the second large buy was like $125 which had most the lowest issues off ebay which I got lucky on. I'm pretty good where I"m at, like to plug a few holes still including #75 which is the Virtual Boy issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn dude that was you eh? Nice. Glad you have them, given what they go for now that would be kind of painful last I looked (pre-virus hell pricing of 2020.) Those lasted about as long as those magazines did more or less, just didn't want to see them ruined and well they rarely come back into style for use.

That's what I needed when someone showed me those hedious ugly naked mole rats Look, I'm sure they're mostly completely harmless and they're vital to the eco-system/food chain and all that, and I would never want to be bigoted against any race/species/etc...but I'm making an exception for that one! They are among the ugliest most God-awful creatures I've ever seen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
