>>5783858>implying i shouldn't underestimate how many morons there are in this hobby and how much they're willing to pay for something if its xtra spechulI don't get why someone would even refer to how much yen in costs, when this is an american message board that pays for its toys in dollars
>b-bu-ttttt the 9% of foreigners on this website!just as bad that they think of yen instead of their own denomination.
fuckin weebs
>>5783870>they don't even value the physical ownership for the collector's aspect because it's always loose carts with crap labels, never CIB gamesuh, same reason someone buys a poster, statueshit, etc instead of just printing it out to post on their wall? Some people just like using a 100% perfect copy to play a 100% intact (glitch free, etc) on their 100% perfect console using controllers that they're 100% familiar with, instead of the shoddier alternatives of using third party controllers, glitchy emulators, and tiny monitors.
Of course, i really don't consider myself a collector of old games and wouldn't pay a fortune on them, except for the fact I bought almost everything as it was coming out and never got rid of it.
I still have a 36" CRT (that has lasted longer than multiple LCD TVs, because old stuff was made to last) and I still have a blast playing old games. I keep my games in normal media office furniture. Older games go into drawers, newer ones stay out. No clue on the value of my games, as i honestly don't care.
Also, your description of the collectors sounds an awful lot like people who only buy shit to put on their shelves.
Reeks of transfag collectors where they stick all their shit up at once to brag about how big it is.
