Scandalous

Look, man. I didn’t want to be the one to tell you this, but you’re very ugly. Like people talk about it.

Did you see that this same seller listed a Hagane with a starting bid of $1300 that failed to sell? I really think Hagane prices will eventually come back to earth.

Little update here. I checked JJ Games website and saw that they had a copy of The Mask for way less than the current market price. It arrived the other day. Feel like I lucked out.

A few years ago I had to make a choice, TurboGrafx or Sega Saturn—couldn’t afford both. I picked the Saturn and am left to wonder, “what if?” sigh....

That makes sense. I gotta saythough, I’m surprised it’s gone as high as it has. There’s a cart only copy on eBay right now going for way more than it has a right to... https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Mask-Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System-SNES-OEM-Cartridge-Only/303949218092?epid=214710404&hash=item46c4c9012c:g:AbwAAOSw7QdgbKg8

You know, I kinda miss Club Nintendo. Sure we have “My Nintendo” now, but it’s not quite the same is it? Here’s a couple pics of some of the stuff I have. Not pictured: a Pikmin tote bag I got for the wife, and the Platinum Playing Cards. What did you get From Club Nintendo?

in this hobby, I have more regrets about the stuff I didn't buy. So no I don’t have a cap per se. I kind of play it by ear.

It’s a VGA badge of honor to start a thread that gets a @CasualCart doodle

I paid $90 for mine. At the time I was picking up all Natsume games for SNES. Both Pocky and Rocky games are a good time, the first title being superior IMO. But the best game they have on the platform is Wild Guns—that game is serious fun.

@Reed Rothchilddo you think Aero Fighters will make a similar jump?

I love this story. Thanks for sharing.

I never thought I’d see Hagane hit $1K. I remember it hit $800 some time ago and then it fell back down to ~$500 a few months later. I expect the price will drop again.

I’ve been wanting to start this thread for awhile. Prices have been kind of erratic with the pandemic, and stimulus money, and Wata, and the latest influx of new collectors, etc. My hope is that this thread will provide some perspective. Please feel free to jump in with your thoughts, advice, and predictions. I’ll start: The Mask on SNES seems to be on the rise recently. I know it’s a somewhat uncommon game but I expect that the recent spike won’t last. A similar jump happened with Casper on SNES not too long ago, and that game has since stabilized. Shining Force III on the Sega Saturn has jumped recently. I predicted it would so I bought my copy a while ago for less than half of the current rate. It’s possible that it’ll keep rising IMO. It has a few things going for it: It was one of the last games released on the Saturn. We saw similar price jumps for Magic Knight Ray Earth and House of the Dead It’s part of a revered series. The Shining games have a cult following It’s an RPG on a console with precious few RPGs It’s fun!

This thread reminded me that I want to start a price thread. So I will

Kind of a necro-bump here but I’ve had luck with searching hashtags on Instagram. I purchased an item there that I’ve literally never seen on eBay. I searched the hashtag, found a pic, messaged the poster, made the purchase.

You tricky bastards.

I haven’t doing a lot of buying recently. These are my two most recent gets, purchased in December: Yes I have the oversized Yoshi’s Island poster in a cheap frame. I just can’t bring myself to blow $200+ on a custom frame job (I already feel like I overpaid for the poster itself lol!) This is an extremely fun arcade game. Check it out, Saturn fans.

I think he’s out of the game...

Why do I feel like there were no winners here?

This guy’s not fucking around

Missed you too, champ. How’s things?

You don’t give a shit about this person’s livelihood. You’re just seizing the morale high ground in order to elevate your soapbox a little more. You’re so transparent—I can’t believe more people don’t call you on this bullshit. Oh wait. I know why. It’s because you’re so insufferably obstinate. But hey, it plays in your favor. Now you get to walk away from these debates with an unearned sense of satisfaction after we throw up our hands at the futility of the task of convincing you that you’re wrong. Well played.

I’ll echo @RegularGuyGamer Instagram collections don’t do it for me. Scooping every game at your local thrift store just to stack your shelves for the camera is weak. I prefer a tight, thoughtfully curated collection of classic/fun/rare titles. I’m also a fan of advertising pieces—kiosks, signs, posters, banners, standees, etc. These items are legitimately hard to find. Some of these display items take years to find. Whereas 90% of games can be had with an eBay account and a wallet.

You should include signs and displays in the poll
