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

Tell Shard to answer my PSO SCHTHACK question. DEMAND IT OF HIM.

and, you know....stuff.

Done.

Hope I get paid in a few minutes, I want to order pizza. If I don't get paid today I'll be sad

I know. It's one of the reasons I regret selling so many of my NES games back when I did. At least the really rare ones (DW4, Fire 'n' Ice, Snow Bros., Mario Bros. Arcade, etc). Seeing the prices on them now is mindboggling. Hopefully it will die down a bit in a couple of years... </wishful-thinking>

Also, do you have any idea why Bucky O'Hare is worth so much now for the NES? I got my copy complete for like $20 back in the day, and now just the cartridge is going for that price...

Thought that Bucky sucked the sack....sold mine years ago...its really going fot that much? Hell...

I got a nice bit of coin for DuckTales II recently, though... Seems that many of the Mario-related games for GC do well on the second-hand market.

Hey Shard...that PSO freeplay server thing...

Do I just download:

Personal Phantasy Star Online Server V2
This is the lan server version for PSO V2, free to use and easy to setup.

and

Full Screen PSOPC Ver 2 Client
This is the Full Screen PSO.EXE used to connect to this server. This is not the full game.

??

Or do I need to acquire an ISO of PSO for the PC?

You need the ISO to install it . I should still have it on my external, if you need it.

It's hard to say. Some stuff just fluctuates. Like for instance Earthbound is definitely UP right now. Chances are it will settle down again closer to $100. When this happens is anyone's guess but it's always been up and down.

I have a feeling that prices in general (at least for the NES and SNES) will settle down a bit in a couple of years. They'll still be relatively high, but some of the prices I've been seeing are insane. I think a lot of it has to do with some of the press that the high valued games have been getting, as well as the "auction hunter" type shows where everyone starts thinking their piles of crap are worth something. Having mainstream press telling the public that they might be sitting on a game worth $20K has not helped too much.

Ah well. As long as I don't go for a CIB copy right away, I'll be happy. The really rare games, I'm probably going to just get the cart for. The more common ones, I'll spend an extra $5-$10 to get it complete.

$100?!? (rummages through game bins in closets)

39? Not bad, that's how old my roomie is. Me I'm on the verge of 23.....

I remember renting Bucky when I was a kid and loving it. It was one of the first games I tracked down when I started collecting years ago. I still have my copy -- I really like it. 2D platformer games have always been my favourite, though. I know Duck Tales 2 commands a high price... cart alone seems to go for around $80-$100, depending on the condition.

Yes, this is a serious problem. Everyone also seems to think they are a reseller these days because of this shit. Makes it more annoying trying to make nice chunks of extra coin by hitting up garage sales and what have you. Still pretty fertile in this area but lately there are more douche bags thinking what they have is worth more than it is.

[Drageuth]

Don't get me started.

I know. That snafu where the guy thought he found an NES worth $13K was probably the biggest blow recently. Can't remember what show it was on...

Pickins on CL up here are pretty sparse, unfortunately. I haven't hit too many garage sales this year, mainly due to my schedule (haven't had a weekend off in a while where I didn't already have plans with family visiting), but I know most of the stores around here price things about double FMV, and there are three people I see on CL regularly offering to buy retro games, then turn around and resell them.

Deals can still be found, but it's a lot more hunting than it used to be.
