I just can't get behind this way of thinking, sorry. It just leads to increased competition, smaller supply, higher demand, and then resellers and others jump on the bandwagon making it quickly turn toxic. I have no issues sharing information with friends who are also following such pursuits in a niche, or friends in other niches who won't be competing; however, posting ambitions, goals, and your "top tier" items for a bunch of randoms to see is just gonna be shooting your foot in the future, and that's something I personally try to avoid. Edit: it does prove kind of funny though when I'm inspecting something carefully like a date code or trademark, and the reseller squirms knowing I'm checking for something rare, yet has no idea what it is I'm possibly looking for.

I always preferred the GB one too, thought the controls handled better.

We're you able to get Go Collect Jeff's autograph for me?

Yeah I remember him (I think his name was Rocky?) very much, I used to sell him all my GB multicarts.

Never was much of a sports guy, likely due to my older brother being terrible at sports - as a result, we spent our time gaming, instead. In highschool I did distance running up until 2015 or so. I ran w half marathon here locally, the second one, but I felt a much harder recovery period compared to the race I ran just a year prior, so I hung up my shoes so to speak. I took up cycling since the and truly love it. I'd love to do some of those virtual cycling experiences at home but just never bought the equipment. As for the average sporting game, no desire at all. Even watching sports on TV does nothing for me, though I can get the appeal if your friends are all into it. Watching in a stadium , I'd do that any day of the week, totally different experience.

Buy the other one and send @Reed Rothchild a bill?

Maybe it was a roach

Here's some pictures I've seen circulating around, parts of the east have some major damage it seems Tomorrow is the start of a four day holiday too.

I was lying in bed this morning thinking how I should get up and start preparing for work, then te shaking started. It was quite scary tbh, usually I don't get bothered by earthquakes anymore but this one did feel strong. Where I live luckily is shielded from the worst of the effects from earthquakes and typhoons, though on the other hand the air pollution can get bad.

As a pioneer in game collecting, I generally don't show off my tops as I don't want to create unnecessary competition for myself from copycat collectors. Therefore, at the moment my top five things (to get rid of) are 1. Xbox 360 games 2. Xbox games 3. Modern Famiclones Ehh, that's only three but it works.

I was just explaining why I assumed it was a random guy clearing out his attic than a collector, hence the difference in expectations. Anyways, if it is a collector, he should know better and we should burn him at the stake for his transgressions. Either way, thanks for the clarification, and I apologize if I came across as antagonistic.

Nice, I just grabbed one of these! Hopefully it'll arrive and the seller won't swap it for a different one.

Turkey rice bento....so delicious! This is likely the best turkey rice shop I've found in my area. The turkey rice in Chiayi is so much better though, as that's where turkey rice originated. The guy who invented instant noodles was also born and raised in that same area. This lunch cost about $2.65.

That's quite simple really. Games were being sold together in a lot, conditions weren't described properly, and there was a dead bug in a cruddy -looking cartridge. This doesn't really sound like collector territory tbh

I think it's because some backers (like myself) backed a higher tier that came with extra crap. It's been so Iong I can't even remember what all was supposed to come with

I've contacted various people regarding the project off and on throughout the past several years, I think the last time I got a response from First Press Games themselves was roughly a year ago, but only after threatening to leave a bad review. Until then, all emails went unanswered. From my understanding, due to COVID-19 supplies got messed up and therefore since FPG wanted to source everything from Japan to maintain their made in Japan image, things got delayed. But COVID-19 was how many years ago now? Similarly, the game Project Blue is available for sale on Famicom format on some sites, some people have it, yet Kickstarter backers still don't have theirs (well at least I don't, and in the somewhat near future I'm hoping to move house). The whole situation, it's just crap after spending about $100 or whatever, and I think the only way anything will come from this is to make the situation known publicly. I'm sure the devs received their money years ago, so what does it matter to them if Kickstarter backers like me received our game? That said, suddenly there's a bit more skin in the game if the situation is made public. It's something that honestly needs to be addressed, sooner than later, rather than just sending countless emails into a black hole year after year and getting the same similar replies.

I think sometimes people just get greedy, sadly enough. The friend knew I had been the first in line for the lot of games, but he pressured the seller after not following instructions. It's a situation where I pretend that I don't know he's the one who did this, to maintain friendship and relationship for buying/trading things from said friend in the future, but at the same time I've definitely lost some respect for the person.

Anyone actually get their copy of Project Blue for the Famicom? I backed the Kickstarter for the game years ago, still received nothing. @FrankenGraphics and others involved in the project, thoughts? This has dragged out for way too long at this point...

I love the asshole sellers who put a list of specific instructions in their listings, such as "Do not directly but, contact me first" and what not. On two occasions I've followed instructions and was first in line, with the seller agreeing to sell me said items and open up a custom listing for me. Then along comes some plonker that doesn't follow the seller's instructions, and directly buys and pays. Instead of refunding them, the seller on both occasions just rolled with it, then told me I was shit out of luck. I made sure to point out to the seller later when said buyers started reselling the underpriced goods for 100X the cost only days after receiving said items. Man I'm still salty about that bullshit, and the most recent time the buyer that screwed me was a so called friend.

Did the guy just pull the set of games out of his garage and throw them up on ebay whilst cleaning house, or was it a collector? If the situation was A, then I honestly don't think he did much of anything wrong. Yeah he could have perhaps wiped the games off better or taken more pictures, but I wouldn't call it shady not doing so either.

I had issues with the 2 factor crap as well, and got locked out about a month back. A few years back my company was running ads on FB and the process was horrible, they kept restricting our ads due to bots sending up red flags. The only reason I'm still on FB / still use it is because I've got a lot of friends and contacts around the globe.

I think it comes with the territory of large untested lots, actually.

I always thought this show was stupid, even as a child. Went back and watched a random episode tonight, which confirmed my opinion. Never watched it much, rather just brief bits here and there, but it was one of those shows that I always felt "meh" about. Regarding the creator and the sa stuff, I think it's one of those situations where those who enjoy the show shouldn't have to add some sort of disclaimer trying to remove his or her association from the author. I know in this day and time it's a somewhat unpopular viewpoint to take, but I definitely separate folks from their works; then again, never really saw celebs as some sort of heroes growing up, lol. I prefer to look at the entirety of what a person has done in life rather than focus and fixate on one or two spots.

Whilst it's okay to dunk on new collectors, shouldn't be dunking on dem old ones.

Yeah, everyone has their own way of conducting business, as well as expectations. I'm not going to refuse business just because I have some personal dispute against someone, as long as the money is legit. I always felt this sort of attitude was ignorant and short-sighted, as generally these kinds of disputes are just petty beefs, often due to unrelated things. You might feel differently with how you react, and that is within your right.
