>>271496884
oh god please link

The ride ended in 2008, man. Soon as Youtube started getting big prices have been skyrocketing. Collecting has turned into less of a hobby and more of an investment in the last several years. Glad I've been collecting since I was young and that I kept just about every game I've had as a kid, but still.

Good luck to all the young kids wanting to collect nowadays. You're sure as hell going to need it.

Where the fuck have you been? Old game prices have gone up drastically in the past 2 years. Plenty of hipster faggots have started hunting goodwill for the super rare Mario/Dunk Hunter cart, and selling their Mario 3 advance for $9340 on amazon and ebay.

>>271500554
Or maybe more people have gotten into collecting old games you curmudgeon little shit.

>>271499375
>collecting games to make a quick buck
Why even bother? You would be better off spending that time watching stocks than scalping ebay.

It doesn't even matter, it's been way past the time where games were at a decent price. Only thing if they do mention I'd get mad about is if they say Genesis games are a good start because they are cheap making them rise up for a brief period again.

>>271498468
Guy who did the art for Valkyria Chronicles is a doujin artist, but Sega put some type of rule in his contract that he can't make doujins off of the game. He's probably boiling like a sex kettle, ready to release his steamen.

>>271500691
That's what I just said you dumb fuck. More people have gotten into collecting, but most of them are retards driving prices up because they don't know any better and have too much money to care.

Never sell your collection, unless you are starving/are close to bankruptcy. It feels good having that money at first, but you feel terrible afterwards. You'll eventually remember why you kept that thing in the first place and realized you sold off a bunch of good memories.

Fucking bandwagoners and hipsters.
You dont need a guide to collect games. You also dont collect them. You just buy what interests you, and only sell them if you're an idiot.

>>271501212
I know it's a hard concept for you to grasp but people do actually like to own the games they play. Especially games they played in their childhood.

>>271500875
Nice pun

collecting as a hobby has been dead for the past decade

as soon as everybody was on the internet, every casual fuck with games to sell googled a price list, then started selling their beat-to-shit, boxless, drawn on SNES carts for mint dollar

There used to be a time where you could walk into a flea market and just find a bin of old games the seller was just trying to sell, all for the same price. Madden or Secret of Mana, it didnt matter, he only wanted $5

>>271501212

In short, yes. I can't tell you how many times women have come up to me saying this like "Oh gee, thats a real big book you got there" or "You must have big brain to read that" I keep the conversation going, talking about my stacks of hundreds of books I own, and it becomes obvious that they are eager to receive the d. I often bring them my master library and tell them to Alphabetize a few hundred books. They are so infatuated by me, they will do anything for me. After they have alphabetized the set of books I kick them out of my house. I could be drowning in pussy, but I have chosen this life of celibacy.

>>271498986
i've been doing flea market runs and shit like that since 1996, it's a horrible time to start collecting. unless you find this stuff from friends parents (ie, people in their mid 40's) it's going to be pretty damn hard.

depends on the area you are in (cities, don't even bother), if people even collect in the area and the reseller %. if there are retro stores, they more than likely will get most of what you won't. i hate retro shops, not all of them are bad, but one shop completely set me to "kill resellers" mode.

they took a copy of Valkyrie Profile, a pretty rare PS1 game (goes for almost 90 for just the disc) and gave the guy 5 bucks for it stating it had scratches on it. guy was happy because he looked rather homely and now had cash. Among other things he got about 40 bucks, but I wanted to burn the place down for not giving him at least half what it was worth.

Maybe on headphones.

But try it on a goof car audio, or home theater surround system.

You will realize the flac doesn't need to be turned up as loud, can go louder then the 320, and better base etc.

You should always just stick with one collection that means the most to you and nothing more, or at least make those collections moderate so you don't have clutter everywhere/

In regards to media, say you wanted games.

So in this situation

Physical collection of games
- Digital Movies
- Digital Anime
- Digital books
- Digital cartoons
- Digital comics
- Digital Toys

Pick one, interchangable. stay with only one. your life will be better for it.

>collecting games for Nintendo systems in 2014
Idiotic. The price of collecting SNES and N64 games is higher than it's ever been and somehow just keeps getting even more popular and expensive. So lucrative in fact that Goodwill has pooled all their video games from shelves and put them in a store to make ebay prices.

For some perspective: 6 years ago you could buy almost any N64 or SNES game for $10 tops. Today they average $40 and twice that on the high demand games. Whereas a system like original Xbox games are sold on average for $10 and $20 on the high end for games like Shenmue 2.

you could get most non 1st party nintendo games for $10. you know mario games and zeldas were 30+ easy because of resellers and shit.
