No regrets… just some bad purchases along the way

@Gloves what do I need to do to graduate from the title of "thief"... LOL.

Thanks all, I was confident to begin with since I've seen @skinnygrinny around for a while. Always nice to have some extra feedback from the community for a bigger sale. Much appreciated. This has been a grail item for me for a while now!

Cool find!

I totally understand full set collectors, but it’s not for me. Too many filler titles in every library that I care to store. If I were to consider any full set I’d definitely go OG GameBoy cart only. I’d even entertain a curated Top 300 SNES or NES titles cart only collection.

The only box I regret tossing is Star Keeper with the postage from China. Oh well.

My collection is mostly based on what I want to have and keep, regardless of monetary value. I don’t own any $1k+ games, but if I did the only guilt I would feel is the paranoia that I own an asset and would need to insure it properly. Collecting just to collect IMO comes with the risk of devaluing the personal attachment to items and making it all about the money. I could understand where maybe guilt comes into play for some on that level. If it brings you joy, you should keep it guilt free.

It’s one of the very first versions of the SD2SNES. It has roughly 95% library compatibility. You can read the specifics on Stone Age gamer’s site. It’s a great little device and has held up despite its age.

I’d say they have some value. I don’t know the specifics off hand, but The Incident is a great game!

This was the exact release I first purchased back in 1996. Of course I trashed mine as a kid does, but years ago I decided to re-buy and had a hard time finding one in good condition. I ended up paying $50-$75, they are not as easy to come by as one would think!

They did… it’s honestly not a great quality release. The gameplay is decent for those who are a fan of the original.

I'm surprised it's taken this long. I'm shocked at how few selections there are at this point... like who is going into to buy a CD at Best Buy that doesn't already use Spotify or something similar? I'm a music geek and I still hunt for cool physical media finds, but they certainly aren't at Best Buy. I guess they figure some people run out of ideas for gifts and just figure, I'll buy them a 4K Bluray, or a lame vinyl reissue for $50.
