It's just a Hang Out: Can you please stop whining for five minutes?

I am ball-deep in emulations these days, but I do still hoarde specific things like a crack-head crow on a bit of tin foil: GBA/GB/DS games!
I am insane about certain ones...hoarding multiple copies for no obvious reason...

I was always a hand-me down gamer. When everyone got new stuff they'd give me all the old systems and games cuz they knew I collected em.

Maybe if I continue to hoarde these boat anchor X-Boxes, they will be worth the BIG bread one day!
(I was gonna use 'em for couch legs and stepping blocks, but...)

My only explanation that even remotely makes sense is he heard about the auction of an NES console and 4 boxed games that a lady in the States put up on eBay that ended up selling for $13K. That was only because it had a near mint boxed copy of Stadium Events in it. :shrug:

That was very likely the auction they heard about as it got a lot of press. They clearly got super confused about it though.

I'd only be seriously interested in a system and a specific handful of games. I wouldn't want to pay the average going rate either, you'd be better off going the eBay route if you had one :wacko:.

Yeah I mean that site isn't law by any means but it's good for getting a snap idea of value. Gotta be careful though, they use Gamestop which brings DOWN the average on some PS2 titles that are still in Gamestop's system. Fortunately all the really old stuff is long gone out of their system.

You'd walk in with a screw and (damaged) power cord from one of the NES's and they would actually pay you for it :wacko:

anyone online?

I have ZERO shame in saying that I sell /swap away 95% of the console games that we get these days...I dont care for them, so..

If I may 'solicit' here, outside of the Shop areas; I am always interested in buying/swapping-for specific GB/GBC/GBA/DS games. :<3:

Apparently I have a few of these 'five screw', or whatever, versions of Mario/Duck Hunt...a dude that buys many of my rare NES games locally told me that these Marios are worth a few bucks, rather than the standard .50.

I did sell a 2nd edition style (shaped like a SNES...kinda) NES on Ebay for a couple hundred.
Not anywhere near $13k though.

I've seen that happen ALOT at the auction I work at. A carved wooden statue I seen go for $22,000. It was made in china.
