That might have been Upper Deck; everything they put out seemed expensive compared to the rest of the hobby at first.

That's true, but I wanted to at least be as composed as possible. I did have it all printed out just in case so my brother-in-law could step in if he had to. My reasoning for doing it was more that his church had a newer priest that didn't know him (my Dad had some major mobility issues his last few years), so I wanted something better for him than the quick blurb from our conversation with the priest. The only other one I had done was for one of my friends. His family had several of us share some stories, but that didn't seem too eulogy-ish. EDIT- Forgot, I did say a few words at my father-in-law's as well. The pastor they had must not have read his notes very well (kept calling him Greg instead of Craig), so when they asked if any family wanted to speak I helped get the ball rolling for my wife and her sisters.

I did my Dad's eulogy too. I thought I might be doing it right around when they usually do the sermon, but they had me do it near the end. Right after the most beautiful soul wrenching soloist and violinist version of Ave Maria. No idea how I stayed composed enough to do it. Most recent funeral was my wife's grandfather. The week before that was one of my best friend's father.

I'll do you one better- I'll trade you games for Jokerit stuff!

How about ForumMcForumFace.com ?

Not sure how that compares to VGA pricing for sealed, but it does make business sense. If you have people beating down your door, it's time to adjust price to level that out. Hiring more people with the desired expertise level probably isn't an option for them.

If you like fighting, the Tekken on there is very well done.

Or just let it go? While I have zero interest in the place, it just seems like a dick move to wish the remaining members ill will.

"Vintage the way it used to be!"

This thread addresses most of what you seek:

Offer ten NES commons that are "valued well over 2000" in trade. They must think their E.T. is one of the Alamagordo ones.

Didn't you pick those up on the old NA auctions? I recall seeing that DK Math box anyway.

@zi Just for you, I'll wear a shirt with my name on it.

Grab a chloroform soaked rag and swing by to grab Gloves, would ya?

You made it!

You're severely misjudging my level of GAF about anything still there. I turned off any email notifications from there, scrubbed stuff i wanted scrubbed, made a last post and that's all the ol' capt wrote.

7800. First console I had growing up and a small and affordable library.

You also weren't ballooning and manipulating the market yourself, you were riding an inexplicably hot wave. Just like the outsiders that are hurrying to unload anything sticker sealed black box right now, if somebody is gonna give you stupid money for something there's no reason not to take it.

It depends on how you look at it. From a "you took away our site and you suck" point of view that lots of peeps had at the first awkward announcement, you do have a point. From the absolutely fucking zero they have done in the 5-6 months since? They've earned that shade.

If they want to try, best of luck to them. I just didn't want every random new GoCoBro to have easy access to my messages if they felt like being nosy. I didn't have anything confidential in there anyway.

There's a store here like that too. But $5 a game came in handy when Adventure shot up to $20-30 briefly. No real uptick here locally (local chain lots them up when they get them in), but I have noticed more interest over the last year or two at shows. I sell commons for a buck each or 6/$5, and then the uncommons are reasonably priced, and I move a fair amount.

Thanks for the reminder.

Killer snag! You're correct about 2600 gems having the ability to pop up anywhere; those are the most likely I think to be seen in dollar bins at flea markets. That's also the nice thing about selling at shows- vendors get first crack at the goods, so if somebody has said aforementioned not-yet-picked-over bin...

I doubt that happens since the 3DS version fell flat on its face from what prices tell me.

Yakuza 7! Although that's in the works, it has a different character cast and battle system than previous entries. So for wishful thinking- another Yakuza, maybe feature Majima? Or some more DLC for Judgment, that game was very well done.
