My recent pickups

Nintendo Online Store had some deadstock, I was quick enough to nab these 

Had to get these latest round of Splatoon amiibo and also managed to get the AoT reprint

How are NFTs faring nowadays?

Prices across the board have mostly been trending down. Just not a good market overall for luxury JPEGs. A few NFT collections have gone up in price but even then it's tepid.

I looked into it, Binance tried to buy out FTX and discovered their books were under water. Bitcoin dropped $3000 in 3 hours and it's still going.

You have to go back further. Binance started selling their FTT stash and Caroline from Alameda openly asked them to sell OTC at $22 instead of impacting the market and CZ was like nah and FTT crashed and then it became obvious that FTX couldn’t pay their loans because they were using their FTT position as collateral and they suffered a liquidity crunch and in the span of 2 days they ended up having to beg CZ to buy them out which is just total defeat and they paused withdrawals around the same time which meant that they didn’t have people’s money which meant they were running a fractional reserve exchange and now Tom Brady is broke.

I've not been paying much attention. Was there a specific reason for the sudden slide?

Turns out a massive crypto exchange with a massive prop house and a massive venture capital arm was playing loose with customer funds and their balance sheet is a total disaster. Lots of people cannot withdraw their funds and we have no idea yet how bad the debt situation is but when these things happen the debt can’t possibly be repaid.

The fallout from this is going to be really bad. Whatever your expectations are, lower them.

But what about that new logo on top of the FTX Arena where the Miami Heat play?!

Today has been nuts. I've been having meetings with other people in the industry and every meeting has started with "so have you seen this mess?" Absolute mayhem. 

Finally found a Magical Starsign NFR on eBay. Was ~ $35

Sadly it doesn’t have the letter but oh well!

Sega Génesis Mini 2

Magical Starsign NFR and a My Nintendo reward

Was traveling for two weeks and this is all that arrived while I was gone

Not buying much these days. But there was a nice opportunity to pick up a bunch of strategy guides at a great price. See: 

(ignore the Nintendo Power, I already posted that one)

My ordeals trying to get a Fossil Fighters guide.... what a journey. Finally have it!

Also pulled in some games and My Nintendo Rewards: 

That's all for now!

Pm’d

Dang! the original title is like $10 on ebay, and the PH is over $500!

Obviously. It’s PLATINUM.

I have listed multiple lots of controllers and accessories for NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, PS1, PS2, Atari, and Dreamcast starting at $0.99. Here's a link directly to the auctions:

I've given up on Advance Wars from Nintendo, they burned that bridge with their childishly woke behavior.  There was zero reason logical or even rational side of emotional why to can that game with a future non-set potential release date for AW 1+2 Bootcamp.  Given other companies releasing actual war games, sim, fps, etc with real violence, real looking blood and death, explosions etc. was personally fine, but oh no...cutesy anime for kids level style cartoons on a turn based grid into a puff of cute smoke is just a bit too too far??  Nope.

I've had the original for awhile, but I found #2 a couple months back for a really off ebay value so they lost a sale being douchebags.

It is one of the dumbest decisions they’ve made.

Although I haven't seen Square Enix selling those PS1 games since around COVID, they certainly continued to sell new PS1 games pretty regularly up until that point.  As you mentioned, they were new print runs, not leftover new stock.  You can tell the difference since the new print runs have a unique SLUS number and the back of the disc is not black.   

Yeah I think 2019 was the last year they printed those

There's no French printed on the back of box, only on the side of the SML1 cartridge. Inside box tab also says DMG MQ USA.

I think I've seen the Canadian box variant and it's a bit different.

Ah sorry yes. The box is American.

It’s a Canadian cart in a Canadian box. In Canada they include French for the Québécois.

Can you post pictures of the boxes?

Nintendo boxes are coated so there’s a natural semi gloss to them. 

These labels look legit to me

Update: got a full refund

The market is so dead =/ but I'm still building stuff!

Did these have an h seam on them ? 

Not sure, but so far everyone I have talked to says it's supposed to have an h-seam, and the other example I've seen had one. Also the other Microsoft games for GBC had h-seams too. 

Just got this in, it was about $11 on eBay: Korean region SpongeBob Beach Party Cook-Off for Nintendo DS: 

The included promo insert showcases other games for DS and Wii from THQ. I had no idea any of these games were published in Korea!
