That is super rad

Wait until you find out you thought you have Namco Pac-Man but it’s Tengen Pac-Man.

This licensed list should be the same as the US licensed NA list https://www.videogamesage.com/blogs/entry/18-usa-nes-rarity-guide-licensed-unlicensed-games-and-more-v13/

Every time I log onto VGS now I’m just like

I'd probably pay anything to have a CIB OOT. I'd feel dumb collecting all this other garbage instead of just saving up or selling off lesser stuff to have my favorite game. I'm just happy we don't live in a world where there are like 40 copies of a book from the 1930s, basically any CIB game is reasonable if it's really a priority and not just something that will get lost on a shelf.

Yes! We're celebrating again baby! Completing the set twice in the same weekend

If the games are broken, just send them to Wata and don’t pay the fee to test them. Bam, full price again.

I always get the most expensive primer and spray paint I can find (Which is what, like $7). One day in college I splurged on like a $4 can of spray paint and my eyes opened the world of not everything on the shelf being the same thing with different branding.

I messaged Stephan too. I would bet anything he ends up with this because I'm pretty sure he doesn't have it. Depends on how many Gs he has to throw around right now I guess!

I'm more on top of releases than the average person but still sometimes miss a game that was released through a smaller channel (or I just didn't type "NES" into Kickstarter one month). With LRG, I'd probably never miss that a game is coming out given how much discussion they get in non-homebrew circles. Otherwise, I don't care either way how a game is released. Someone needs to make a homebrew release newsletter.

Congrats! Ubisoft IJ is a completely different game from the Taito one, so you might one to pick that up though!

It's a rare version of Yoshi's Cookie sponsored by an oven company. https://www.mariowiki.com/Yoshi_no_Cookie:_Kuruppon_Oven_de_Cookie

Holy crap dude, that was a gem mint sealed version of the very first Fallout game (according to investor rules where PC doesn’t count)

Bidding on this went up to 225k or so in the last 5 minutes then someone BIN'd it for 500k (~$5k USD) It's been sitting with no bids in the 200-300k range until he finally open auctioned it.

It's one of the "most PS2" games I can think of because it's unique, it's exclusive, it's very Japanese, and the hardware isn't powerful enough to run it. Great game. I love a unique concept that does its own thing and doesn't just put a twist on an existing genre.

At this point there could be a nuclear war and I think video game prices would go up because people are travelling less.

Instinctively I want to say mass suffering, panic, and a huge pause button on the entire online market would obviously cause a luxury like collectible, old video games to decrease in price. But COVID-19 happened and here we are, so truly I don't know. I would guess in the short/medium term prices increase. When the market was hazier pre-Ebay, dealers were able to exploit knowledge gaps and local supply by selling things like stamps, rare books, and Beanie Babies at a premium to buyers with less info and fewer choices. Once the online market existed, more common stuff was so easy to get, and tons of stuff crashed in price.

Madden 04

Oh shit I have a new Wii Sports

$23k for Pokepark Wii. Pokemon is a disease.

Who's bidding on the grail tonight?

Thanks so much for catching that. There's even already a picture of it in the images in the thread! I tell everyone the best way to fix all the wrong stuff in your lists is to post it online.

Wait until I tell you about Super Mario 64

Not my style of music, but I enjoy his Twitter account at least.

It’s gotta be one of the shortest RPGs ever if that helps you pop it in. You could easily play it in a weekend.
