Collector/Buyfag Thread

Too exhausted from work, or just depressed by the job you mentioned? Just curious.

Personally, I think if I ever got into video "reviews" and such (which I doubt will happen), I'd try to let viewers know their options for how to acquire a game, but also try to encourage them to not destroy prices for physical copies in doing so in nudging them towards emulation/loaders or at least digital rereleases. Not sure how well attempting that would work out though; plenty of people out there that abhor usage of emulation and loaders (on grounds of piracy being illegal), and sadly not every game sees a cheap digital rerelease that could mitigate demand on otherwise limited physical copies.

On that note, that whole "This is a very collectible game, it's rare but still very affordable! Go buy it now!" thing just makes it seem like the faggots are in cahoots with scalpers, whether intentionally or not. Wouldn't shock me if they actually both endorse each other, but admittedly I haven't looked that far into it.

...

I've been working on fixing a Panasonic CDI 615 devkit. the laser's been replaced by me and now there's just a problem with the system sending a video signal. Not quite sure what's happening on there, but It'll take some more time.

mixed up philips and panasonic, both b-tier electronics brands but whatever

That's me actually.

Is getting a modded PS2 worth it?
Do burned .iso's tend to run properly?

Why buy preowned figures if the assumption is automatically going to be that, especially for female ones, someone's jizzed on them before? Why pay to play Mystery of the Stain?

Modded as in modchipped, or set up with an IDE to store games?

It's cheaper and easier to find. Finding mint/unopened figures that probably aren't in production anymore is both hard and expensive. Plus I'd say my track record is better than you'd expect. Only 4 out of 22 had any suspicious stains.
I'd never buy my waifu preowned though; that's for sure.

True, but still. What do you do if you find one's been hotglued though, ship it back with proof or something?

I keep them. I adopted them, so I'll give them a good home.
Besides, AmiAmi doesn't do takebacks on preowned items and warns buyers that there may be stains on every preowned and that you should only buy if you can accept that risk.

You're best off getting a PAL that has a 50/60hz switch. Usually go for about 30/40 bongbucks online since what got mine for as well. Unless you're doing it for having a blocky SNES, it's the best way to go.

Why are the plushes so fucking expensive.

One day. MetalJesusfaggot causing price hikes all the time is a pain in the ass, especially when it came to the Vita.

If mean softmodded, do it yourself or order a memory card with it on. Hardmodded, worth it since don't believe have to worry about regions and can play PS1 backups and shit. Could be wrong there though.

You're telling me. Importing two fumos through Buyee can easily run you over $100. Wish I didn't have to order from Japan's Yahoo auction house through those penny pinching jews; with their multiple fees at every point (and making consolidating packages just as expensive if not more so than paying for individual shipping by charging extra for their "service", which benefits them already by sending less packages. This compounded by the additional weight for the sole package makes the shipping skyrocket to obscene levels).

I see. But when I insert a PAL version of ALTTP/Super Metroid, will it run like it is intended to?

Because I read somewhere that the NTSC/PAL versions of for example alttp are different. I read that Link is sped up (higher walking velocity) in the PAL version to make up for the fact that they run at 50 Hz.

Found out that my Link figma is shipping early.

I was meaning to set aside money in August for it, but I guess I'll just get it now, it seems.

Chipped I think. The one I'm buying requires CDs/DVDs.

have you recapped it yet? That can often solve video problems on many consoles, arcade monitors and pcbs.

You missed your window by about four years ago. The online games are either dying or about to be replaced with sequels/remakes on the Switch. About the only reason why people would buy a Wii U right now is because it's the only way to play The Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2.

People think it's profitable to just wait for a console to either become real old or die before picking it up, but they're wrong. With so many major games having online implementation nowadays, the games for the consoles just dry up and die when the system is discontinued.

Bought this the other day, I was thinking it would turn out to be low quality garbage but it's heavy and the symbol is really well molded.

I have Pyramid Head and Bubblehead Nurse figma, but I've been thinking of saving up for the statues. Also have some fighting game posters framed and hung, and a map of the Unterzee from Sunless Sea, though I still need to buy a frame for it.

I have also been waiting for this to get back in stock.

I ordered PAL Dreamcast with 2 pads and memory card, I hope pirated games will run on it.

Bought a copy of Extreme Paintbrawl yesterday just for the soundtrack. Only cost me $1.00

…the fuck?

this is both incredible and horrible

Do you even Kusoge?

No, and I don't think that I should.

...

Well, at least they provide a disclaimer about that, I suppose.

Checked.

What sort of price range are the frames you've been buying for your posters, out of curiosity?

Still waiting for a hard drive and floppy drive for my first computer's reconstruction project. Fucking USB 1.1 cards cost a mint compared to USB2 and 3. Jesus. Just finished scavenging through my box of random ISA and PCI cards to find my first 3D card, and a Vibra ISA sound card, and a D-Link PCI NIC I picked up for a buck at a yardsale ten years ago.

Not going into the project: PCI Ultra-wide SCSI card.

Got a bunch of vidya last month, so I might be fine for most of July.
Nothing.
An Original Xbox pre-hacked that's region-free around 200 burger coins.

I am just looking for a prototype arcade boards. That shit isn't cheap but I somehow still enjoy the hunt.

That's some niche level shit there, son. I have not seen even a dozen actual arcade machines in the past three years, never mind proto boards anywhere.

It's a lot more fun to do it yourself, alongside being cheaper as well.

I may have to do that myself, as my Xbox has a dead DVD drive, and replacing it seems to be impossible at this point. All of the usual spots for console parts have fucking nothing.

Let's try this again…

The Atari needs some under-the-hood work, as it won't power up. I suspect some faggot fucked it up before I got it at a rummage sale.

The rest is my first motherboard, one photo from about ten or so years ago, when the board was almost ten years old at the time, and what it's looking like at the moment.

A modded PC Engine DUO-R with a shit ton of US Turbo grafx games and a few PC engine imports.

Magical Knight Rayearth and a few other blah games i don't really want

More Turbo games, it's fun and surprisingly easy to find these fuckers for, like, half the market price.

Anyone here collect LaserDiscs?

I've wanted to, i see a few around that i'd like, but they all seem so… fragile.

MY anime seems to be holding up, but I have no idea if the american laserdiscs are the same. Supposedly they fall apart if they were made in american factories. The players themselves probably need to be recapped at this point too, so just like with old game systems, they need care to keep working. You could always buy them just for the art if you can find them cheap enough.

Who here collects pogs?

(((won them fair & square)))

You're bring up a lot of painful memories

When the mood strikes me. My LD player doesn't like to keep the tray extended when I eject anything, so I've focused more on sorting that out than on getting more discs.

I did not think they actually had anime on LD, least not in english.

Cheapest way to fix that is to order a cheap Xbox off of Ebay and swap drives. No bullshit like later consoles, simply pop in and works. I forgot which drive is the best, but Thompson is the model you want to keep well the fuck away from.

How much is that setting you back? Can't imagine that was cheap in any way.

I'm new to these threads. I was only recently able to really get into game collecting. Please be gentle
But I recently got my first NES a few weeks ago and a Dreamcast a few months ago. I got N.A.R.C.and Ninja Gaiden with my NES. And I got Soul Caliber, Shenmue, Phantasy Star Online and Zombie Revenge for my Dreamcast. However I got a problem with my Dreamcast. When I turn it on it shows the opening and then there is no signal on the TV. The console is still on, but it resets when I unplug and plug the controller back in. Any fix for this? I'm not tech savvy at all, so you would probably have to spoon feed me on the fixes and shit

Also I have my eye on a few NES games. Mostly just the standard classics like Metroid and Castlevania at the moment. If anyone has any suggestions for it then that would be much appreciated. I also got a PS2 with a small collection of games. Recently got Max Payne, Red Dead Revolver, Xenosaga and Star Ocean Till the End of Time for it. I have my eye on .hack Quarintine for it, cause I found a copy at my local gamestore. And I'm thinking I'm gonna get a SNES or a Sega Genesis next after I build up my NES collection a bit. Nothing too amazing so far, but I'm only really just now getting into it.

I only own one figure so far, so I'm not into figure collecting quite yet. But I really need that Nepu figure.

275 clams for one with the Region/RGB mod and cables. Much cheaper than a US Duo, and have better caps built in too, so it's worth the cash.

If you've just got the console, one of the first things on your list should always be a flashcart or just means to play downloaded shit anyway.

Yeah, flash carts are neat for stuff like NES, SNES and genesis to a lesser extent because of the shit tons of fan translations, romhacks and prototypes you can get.

Only thing that's a bitch is the newer Turbo Everdrives won't work on it because of the way it's modded, supposedly it's an easy fix though, i'd look into it, but there isn't really much reason to get one beyond "Muh Magical Chase".

Everyone starts out small, I think (unless you inherit a bunch of money or games from someone else), so there's no shame if you don't necessarily have much at this time. Major points being that you ought to be buying games of actual interest to you to play and enjoy (don't go "full set" mode and trying to acquire everything on a system, or buying games you have no interest in just because they're hard to find), and trying to avoid paying scalper prices. A bit of patience and knowing your options can go a long ways.

Unless you're really lucky, .hack is way, way too expensive these days, namely due to Quarantine being absurdly pricy (which isn't to say that Mutation and Outbreak aren't a bit high as well, but Quarantine is the deal breaker). Same with .hack//G.U. (Last Recode on the PS4 might help bring prices down, or at the very least provide a less expensive alternative, but it remains to be seen how it's going to turn out, both in Japan and the west), but at least there all three parts are somewhat similarly priced, as opposed to IMOQ's $15/$40/$40/$130+ prices for each part, at least when I last saw them. I gave IMOQ a go via HDD and loader, and it is not worth the prices people are asking (and Namco is apparently considering a PS4 remake if G.U.'s tweaked HD compilation port does well). Same with G.U., which I at least got actual copies of for cheap (about half the asking price for the whole set at the time I picked them up).

I can't even justify picking up games for that myself at this point, between the library being scalper central and the sheer amount of fan-translated games the west never saw (and which the only English physicals are overpriced reproduction carts).

Not going to tell you what to pick up, but if you want to start out somewhat cheaply, the PS2 and Xbox remain rather inexpensive compare to, say, the SNES and Gamecube. PS1 can also still be rather cheap, depending on what you're into.

If it's a fat PS2 you picked up, set it up with an HDD and loaders. Even if you don't use it for average games in favor of picking up actual disc copies, you can use it to bypass ludicrous prices on games (at least as a "try it before you buy it" method), as well as use it to play games patched with fan-translations (doing so also evades the region lock on playing with physical discs).

I'll definitely look into a flash cart for the NES

That's why I'm just going for the classics and must haves at the time. I can easily get those for cheap at my local gamestores. Although I'm not too familiar with scalper prices, but I'll look into the games before I buy them.

That's why I haven't bought it yet. Focusing on other things before I buy it. It's not going anywhere any time soon. It's been there for a long while due to it's insane price. Also i forgot about the games coming out for the PS4. If the prices go down then I'll pick up the copy after that comes out if they lower the price there.

As for the SNES; I suppose I can hold out for a bit on it if what you are telling me is true. Although there a lot of games I would like to pick up and play for it. And I already picked up a slim PS2, but I will probably get a fat one as well eventually. And an OG Xbox was gonna be one of the last things I picked up, but it could be a good idea to pick one up soon. And a PS1 eventually as well, but not anytime soon I don't think.

Unless you become too depressed to play games, the Everdrives are great, though the SD2SNES is the superior flash cart option for the SNES. The Mega Everdrive (and with the newer X# versions, the higher, the better) is better than the Everdrive MD2/3. Functioning as a Sega CD memory cart is great, as well as allowing you to load any Sega CD bios you like is swanky. Only pain in the ass is having to disconnect the Sega CD and 32X to play Master System games or 64 megabit Genesis games.

Again, it's just G.U. coming to the PS4 thus far, likely since it'll take less work to "update" than IMOQ. Namco's supposedly just weighing whether it's worth it to do similar (though they'd likely have to dump more funds into it as a full remake or something; IMOQ not holding up quite as well as G.U.) with IMOQ as of now.

Depends on the system really. Something like the PS1 or PS2? You can easily find best selling "mustplay" games pretty cheaply still. Something like the Gamecube though and you're still looking at a solid $30+ per game for a number of those, especially if they're from Nintendo owned franchises (Metroid Prime 1 and 2 traditionally being low priced exceptions, but with the announcement of MP4 they might have shot up; haven't checked), and even third party multiplats can be a solid twice as much or so as their PS2 and/or Xbox counterparts. And then there's Melee, one of the Gamecube games with the highest adoption rate, and it's a solid $60+ on the aftermarket now where I live since demand remains just that high.

That would be wise. The unfortunate thing these days is that pretty much everywhere has taken to basing their prices off of amazon and ebay resellers. Granted, that's not to say you can't occasionally find good deals and/or fuckups, but more often than not everyone's looking to maximize profits.

All PS2's are PS1 backwards compatible; just requires you have some PS1 memory cards to save with (which are admittedly kind of shit; max official size being 1 MB and I think they only allowed for up to 15 save slots, but I could be remembering wrong). Be aware that there's some slight compatibility issues between PS2 models, both for PS1 and PS2 games. Might be worth double checking what you're intending to play
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_games_incompatible_with_PlayStation_2

Also going to add that if you have interest in the Wii, or PS3's libraries, you might want to work on those while FUCKING GAMESTOP still stocks them, and thus keeps prices on the whole having to compete somewhat with them (though, even then, some Wii games are already seeing price hikes, like Fragile Dreams). I'm not sure how either are exactly going to fare once Gamestop stops stocking for them (even looking at sixth gen, there's a noticeable difference in how fast Gamecube games shot up compared to the PS2 and Xbox), and the PS3 has the added benefit of a lot of (though not all) games having a digital release as well. Still, there's liable to be games on both that are already a bit difficult to find, and artificial scarcity caused by the major retailers no longer stocking for it is likely to make them that much harder to find in the future, at least as far as local options go.

Any Laser Rot on that Golden-Boy disc? I've heard ADV did a shitty job with their laserdiscs.

I found the original Japanese LE for Ys: Oath in Felghana that came with like 8 music CDs, and got it signed by Toshihiro Kondo during AX this weekend. I also picked up a copy of the Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate LE for $30, and won a Disgaea 5: Complete LE from a raffle.

Nothing really "big" there except the Ys, but good weekend and I only spent $75 on the games.

Really though it's a shame that the scene is fucked. Nobody wants to do fan translations because they get assmad when someone has the bright idea of selling expensive repros of their shitty games instead of them(i.e. Nightwolve, who is easily a lolcow.) and all the turbo prototypes are being hoarded somewhere or other, like that PC cocoroon that's been dumped, but not released, the unreleased tengen games like Marble Madness, that one game a redditor ended up buying from an NEC/TTi employee and, if he even still has it is just sitting in his house rotting away.

Games for that are already starting to get pricy, but the rarest ones have, mostly, gotten reprints. Stuff like Class of Heroes 2G(Went from a 200+ game to 50-60+ bucks) and Project Diva F. You'll want to find stuff like Folklore or Afrika, or even asian-english exclusive games like Aquanaut's holiday, Tokyo Jungle, or Okami HD + RE HD though if you bother collecting for it. First party nintendo games are something else though, FE path of radiance was actually able to shrug off reprints easily and then went up in price, it's insane.

That's an odd case locally. Still plenty of copies available when I'm looking around town, but price varies wildly on where I've seen it, from about $12 at fucking Gamestop (admittedly that was a few years back now; I don't make a habit of going to Gamestop much, unless a location has something I can't find anywhere else or at quite as good a price, which honestly isn't often), to $40+ at one point at a multimedia place (said chain can be all over the place with their prices anyhow).

Something like El Shaddai though has reached a point where I can't find it locally for the PS3 at all, though to my knowledge prices are still rather middling for it.

From what I've seen, around the time Awakening got popular after coming west, PoR shot WAY up in price, and I'm not sure if it's gone down much. As for reprints, I hadn't heard that PoR had gotten one, but rather Radiant Dawn, and it was Canada distribution only, or something (I could be wrong). You sure you're not thinking of that one? Either way though, both Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are indeed pricy.

I thought I'd heard that, at least in some cases, it's more an issue of not having inate text to fan-translate off of, due to plot scenes in particular games being voice and animation only. Not sure how difficult hardcoding subs for the PC-Engine would be either.

Two different discs, same player, recorded years ago. You can see some streaking in Golden Boy, but not in Raiders, so that may well be the case.

Yeah, the Neo Geo scene is just as insane. Those fucks need to fall down an elevator shaft and land on two bullets each.

Yeah i got them confused, but yeah, this was all years after awakening though, in 2014.
Path of radiance has always been climbing, but before awakening it wasn't uncommon to see it goes for ~30, 40 bucks complete, not just the disc is easily twice that, and a complete copy is ~90-100 where it's stayed ever since.

I remember asking a hardcore Turbo Nerd about this(he had a blog discussing the ins and outs of the hardware and actually ported mega man to it) it's theoretically possible for subs via emulation and Lua scripts, but aside from that, no.

I don't see how hardcoding subs into games would be possible though, just due to how these games work, it's not as easy as ripping the video and then just editing subtitles in since most of the time the game just plays audio over the in game graphics(for example 3 minutes in vid related).

Fan dubs really are the most feasible/realistic option here, at least for CD rom games.

shit, wrong video, 3 minutes in this one.

option here, at least for CD rom games.

vocaroo.com/i/s0YD6sXj7vQ0

...

Yup. From 18-20 you can see the Laser Rot in the white background. Fucking ADV man. They didn't even finish releasing the goldenboy discs in the states (they just released that one volume) I want one of those Laser Disc players that has the red laser that reads through rotted discs, but they're in the $1000s at this point. What machine are you using for playback? Anything special?

That can't be real. I-Is that real?

Certainly makes me glad I got my copy of Path of Radiance for $10 or so, and that was after Awakening's release as well.

Could depend on the system. I know Absolute Zero's tinkering with adding English subtitles for start of battle quips and victory quotes in ToD DC for the PS2. Those don't have native text boxes, and throughout the series have been generally left audio only in both east and west, at least back when our releases here only had English audio to begin with. Admittedly though, I'm not entirely sure of what method Kingcom, their coder, has been using to add them.

Nice flood detection codemonkey.

I collect MVS :(

There's a flash cartridge now despite that fact, so I should probably sell off a third of them so I can finally play Prehistoric Island 2 on real hardware without shelling out $200 for it. Don't even get me started on the insane amount f bootlegging that goes on in that scene. Thankfully I got into it years ago, but they were making fakes even in the 90's. I tried getting back into it recently because there's a large mexican community here in chicago.

Neo geo collecting is a fucking nightmare.

Pioneer LD-V2000. Picked it up at a church rummage sale around ten years ago for ten bucks, and it had King Ralph in it. Feels John Goodman. Bought a remote on ebay a few years later for $40, and then it stopped staying ejected. I have to hold the tray to keep it from returning to the inside of the player when I want to insert, remove, or flip a disc.

I hear bootleggers for Neo-geo will take parts from legit games and just combine them with bootleg shit so they can pass them off as legit, kind of like what people used to do with snes repros, only instead of fucking up a john madden, they're ruing expensive as fuck games.

not one of the better players. That's a standard consumer model. I'm currently looking for a LD-S9, which is purported to be the 3rd best Player ever made (they made them by hand), but I can't find one on eBay for less than $600. Hoping I can find one on yahoo auctions & use a proxy company to ship it to me, but I'm scared it would get damaged in shipping from such a long distance.

Generally they would take a cheap game like Top Player's Golf, & find a more expensive game that uses the same PCBs & solder in Programmable EEPROM chips, but it's gotten worse over the years. There have been machine soldered boots out there showing up recently, & if the neo geo community wasn't so autistic about taking pictures of every motherboard revision they would easily pass for real at first glance. Most come from france, italy, Brazil, & mexico.

Fuck AES collecting. Too many psychotics in the scene. That's why I will only buy pirate carts on AliExpress or Rakuten or something. I never had a Neo Geo until somewhat recently, so I have no nostalgia driving me to collect.

I bought the player simply because it was there. The only things I will spend $600 on are my PRIMARY hobby.

Fucking Gun Gamers, putting their gun right in the middle of the shot.

are there any reliable places to buy psn jp codes other than playasia? they canceled my order because don't have a cellphone to verify it

D-technik called and said you were a faggot.

it's got a few pretty good games, piracy is super easy to get going on it if you're starving for that but I think the games are still too expensive for how late it is. Splatoon is going to be dead in the water soon with the release of splatoon 2, mario kart 8 online has already kicked it but you still have stuff like 3D world, bayo 1/2, wonderful 101, mario maker, mario kart 8, and breath of the wild as well, the wii u version has a bit longer loading times but the performance is more or less on par with switch, the most noticeable difference being kakariko village.

OPL works really good, and still gets updates. not 100% but you can also set up a burned disc loader. Just be careful, the lasers on the PS2 are finicky as fuck and PSX is disc-only unless you use a shitty emulator.
I pre-ordered Splatoon 2 It's $10 off retail on amazon and I was going to buy it anyways

worth adding that splatoon 1 does still have decent activity, just hard to say how it's going to look after the end of this month. Also, with the release of the cfw stuff there's a way to cheat in it without getting banned, as well as ban evasion stuff so it might be a shitfest in ranked these days.

Real talk here, Extreme Paintbrawl is great.

Also for GB look at the El Cheapo from bennvenn instead of the EDGB, it has RTC support so you can play all the pokemon games and harvest moon. It's cheaper, as well.

I bought a boxed copy of Lunar Silver Star Story Complete a few weeks ago. Turns out the prices dropped to around $70, so I picked it up the minute I saw it at my local game store. I find it hilarious that even though the average price for a new AAA vidya is $80 up here in Canuckistan, I still haven't paid that much for a single video game in my life. I'm still looking for some other PS1 JRPGs like Thousand Arms and Saga Frontier, and I've got my eyes on a $60 copy of Xenoblade Chronicles. I'm also hoping to get my hands on a copy of Action 52 for my birthday.

Holy shit, it's like if Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band tried to make an FPS soundtrack. I love it.

I actually found a copy of Melee for around $50. That was the only copy and I couldn't find it any of the other stores. It's gone now, but they sell Gamecubes for pretty cheap. Around $25-$30 at that store.

I do own a PS3 already with a decent library of physical and digital games. Although I'm a faggot that really loves physical copies, so some of the games I have digitally I might eventually get physically. Although there is till a number of games that I missing from my PS3 collection. And the Wii already seems like it has price hikes on a few things. Although a lot of the good and worthwhile games are still cheap. I might want to consider picking one up sometime soon before the prices on the games go up.

There's another EDGB being developed at the moment, but since I give almost zero fucks about the Game Boy, I didn't look too far into the progress or planned improvements.

GBA is more my speed so I'm pretty pleased with the EDGBA. It's a shame on the EDGB because pokemon games add up to the cost of the thing anyways, they're half the reason anyone gets a flash cart for any game boy.

Checked out the local Goodwill stores for electronics for console parts.

Found a PS2 for $25 that included the network/HDD adapter, original silver controller, memory card and official Sony blue stand.
Well kept system and clean. Got it home and fired it up and it also had a 80GB IDE HDD in it full of games.
Cleaned the crap games off the drive, put the newest loaders on the memcard and added some great RPGs to the HDD.

Gamecubes as systems themselves aren't too expensive from what I've seen, perhaps between having no backwards compatibility of their own and the Wii (earlier models anyhow) allowing for backwards compatibility with the Gamecube's library. It's more the actual library that has had a pricing issue, and to some degree official make Gamecube controllers. For comparison, I've worked on acquiring games for systems I have access to for about five years now, and my Gamecube shelf is still twenty something games, due to not wanting to provide further justification for scalper prices. At least Melee and some other multiplayer games I can write off feeling a need to purchase, since no one comes over to my place anyhow.

Not real sure as to what you might have already or like genre-wise, but you might be on the lookout for stuff like Folklore, El Shaddai, and Majin at decent prices, as in my experiences those are either of varying prices and/or hard somewhat hard to find in the case of the latter two.

Main Wii games I've seen go up in price:
Maybe Dokapon Kingdom as well, though I know more as to that being pricy on the PS2 than if it is on the Wii (other fellow PS2 and Wii multiplats, like DBZ: BT3 and Sakura Wars V, seem to have been more expensive in their PS2 incarnations; Sakura Wars having some justification for it due to only the PS2 version having the JP voice disc).

Anyhow, if you're going after a Wii, I'd recommend a model prior to the Family Edition (and definitely not the Mini) as those have Gamecube backwards compatibility (you'll still need a Gamecube memory card and controller; the latter of which can also be used for select Wii games). And as an aside, you might also look into using Letterbomb with it for homebrew/piracy functionality (if you're lucky, you might even wind up with a system that allows bootMe to be installed as boot2, which provides the option for bricking reversion should you need it).

That's not all that big a drive (especially when some games can take a good amount of space; think Sakura Wars V was the largest I've encountered at 7.5gb for the JP dub disc), but still a pretty nice find, especially at that price. I'd recommend using OPL over HDL, but that's just from my experiences. If you want to double check OPL compatibility (or look up notes for games that work but may have issues), you can look here.

What have you got on there already?

So I bought a modded PS2. Anybody have the images of our agreed upon best PS1 & 2 games?

Doesn't work in the midwest. I've been to no fewer than 30 different Goodwill stores, and 10 Salvation Army Thrift stores, as well as about five standalone thrift stores, both in the middle of nowhere, and in major cities, and there has been FUCK ALL for tech and games. On my last four hundred mile trip, all I came up with was an 802.11g PCI card, an ancient Win9X-era capture card, and Daxter for PSP, in a Gamestop case. The last time I got anything good, it was a complete NES back in like 2006.

Using the latest OPL. I have another PS2 with a 1TB sata HDD, but I added some RPGs that I never got around to (like the Xeno Undubs) to this new unit for my other TV.

depressing…..what about pawn shops?
I have managed to get a Saturn and a Dreamcast for $20 each at pawn shops, but my best pawn find was Super Metroid for $5.

Midwest fag here too. Goodwill/savers/salvation army are devoid of games unless you get lucky & find some random PC game. The days of finding good games at these places are OVER. Your best bet is a garage sale, or finding some non chain store in the sticks nobody's touched. My best deal in the past year was Backyard Baseball 2001, & even then they charged me $5. Turns out it's a $20 game, but god damn. I only go there for VHS tapes now.

For starters, those were meant as more of generally worthwhile games to give consideration to, as opposed to just the best the systems in question have to offer. And secondly, for a while now I've seen a good amount of dislike for those images, as well as voicing the notion that allowing general anons to contribute to them was a mistake.

Hasn't worked for me out where I am either (southwest). Goodwills, Savers, thrift stores, and pawn shops have had fuck all as far as games that aren't shovelware, sports, or licensed games go. Plus, I'm pretty sure a few years back a Goodwill specializing in tech and media opened on the east coast, so I'd wager their good stuff either winds up there, or is hocked on online Goodwill accounts on Amazon and the like.

I've taken to a local multimedia chain instead. Some shit they ask way too much for, but on occasion they also ask way too little. Not real sure why they do it like that; considering how a lot of the latter I've seen has occurred with more niche titles compared to mainstream, maybe the idea's been to move that stuff with less of a market out at quicker at lower prices, as opposed to just rotting on the shelf? But then again, I've also seen other niche stuff marked at two to three times the average it goes for and rots on the shelf anyhow. Still, between the occasionally beneficial pricing fuckup, constant 20% off vouchers, and a points system where you can occasionally get shit half off, it's a place I've taken to frequenting. Not sure if you've got an option like that in the midwest, but it might be worth looking out for.

Oh, and I might also add to that that Yakuza 3 and 4 might also be worth seeking out at reasonable prices, as they're not the most common games to find, and some stores are already shooting the prices up. Despite Fucking Gamestop asking less, I've seen one place around here asking like $23 for Y3 and $34 for Y4, and another store (which has since died; big shock to no one) asking a whopping $60 for a beat as fuck copy of the latter. Demand's probably apt to increase as time goes on.

That doesn't mean much without providing a timeframe for when you got them at those prices. I'm just saying.

I also recommend tracking down No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise, it's not particularly expensive yet, but it doesn't look like Konami produced a whole lot of copies.

Weird though, i was able to pick up both Yakuzas for 20 bucks a pop a few months ago, and 3 was sealed.

Care to share a tip? I wasn't aware there even WERE other resale chains besides those. Any place that sells VHS tapes or cassette tapes would be great. I can't find a place that sells either of those for shit.

there are a couple here and there. seen them around.

for what purpose.

I'll pick them up from time to time because they tend to be a fuckload cheaper than DVDs. Some people get things that were only printed on that medium, while others jump on the bandwagon to seem like they fit in.

A Half Price Books nearby has a small stock of cassette tapes and sometimes stocks VHS tapes, so maybe you should check something like that.

Yeah, I got my own copies cheap in the last year or so. Yakuza 3 for $13 at the best game focused store I know of (they ALWAYS ask less than Gamestop on games still stocked by them, and Yakuza 4 for $15 at a really hit or miss shop (which kind of surprised me; I mean, I've had good finds there before, but more often than not they're doing stuff like asking $50 for a preowned GH Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and since they never seem to have anyone else there on the rare occasion I go there, it leaves me wondering how they remain in business). Both copies complete and in good shape as well. Main issue was that, despite Gamestop still stocking for the PS3, not a single store in reasonable driving distance had a copy at that point; all of the stores with it (judging by their website; one of the few good points I'd give Gamestop) were clustered in a small radius around the state capital, leaving everywhere else high and dry. But at least I can actually find Yakuza 3 and 4 still, albeit perhaps at not that reasonable of prices. Can't say the same for every PS3 game, let alone games from prior generations Fucking Gamestop no longer makes an effort to stock for in person, or threw out the cases and manuals for (both of which causing an artificial scarcity of varying levels, especially since Gamestop's driven out and cannibalized pretty much every used game focused store in my town; I have to go to the surrounding towns instead to find non-Gamestop game stores, which range in quality from store to store).

By multimedia, I mean places that have a very general focus on preowned media. DVDs, music, books, video games, etc. The big thing though is that they're not a charity place, nor an out-and-out pawn shop. As to whether or not the name of the specific chain here will do you any good, they're currently only located in two states. They do have an online storefront though, but I'm admittedly not sure of if their prices there match with in-store ones, let alone if they're as prone to fucking up prices on music as they are for vidya and anime DVDs. I doubt they have VHS at this point, though it hasn't been something I've been actively looking for there, but I'd give cassettes an optimistic maybe as to whether they stock them, as the store seems to have originally been music oriented.

I can't speak as to whether or not they charge more than, less than, or average prices on their music selections, since I'm mainly there for mispriced vidya and anime dvds, but I have a theory that, with stores like them, the mediums they're less focused on are more prone to them not knowing the value of what they take in. This can work both ways, with them asking too much or too little, or paying out too much or too little. For example, I found Path of Radiance there for $10 or so. Obviously I got a good deal and the store didn't make as much profit as they could have, but they also fucked over the guy who had traded/sold it to them as well; I wager he would have been lucky to have made $3, maybe $4 on it at that level of sale price. Hilarious thing is that it still had an old Gamestop sticker on it pricing it at $30 or so when it had last been there, yet this place didn't even use that as a minimum asking price. Anyhow, for them, they could actually be in the know as to how to price their music to maximize profits, while other sections they screw up from time to time.

Well, my friend's dad still uses VHS to tape episodes of shows he misses, so there's that. But he's kind of old fashioned like that; I think his family only got a DVD player in the last year or two. Just saying.

(((Half Price))) Books

I went to one & it was manned by hipsters & SJWs. Rainbow hair, tattoos, piercings, ambiguously brown people, the works. All their games were priced over ebay prices. I never went back. Worst yet, they had no VHS or cassettes. This was 2 years back. I doubt it's changed.

Starting up a VHS & Laserdisc collection. They're a cheap way to get anime that's never getting a Blu-ray release.

Guess I'll keep an eye out. If they're only in two states I doubt it would help me any.

Could be worse could be Betamax tapes. I never see that fucking system get mentioned anywhere either.

It wasn't normally a thing people bought. They stopped releasing commercial tapes for it early (even if it did have better picture quality than VHS). VHS was lighter & had porn, so it was cheaper to ship & produce. I think video production studios & TV stations still used beta though.

It's because they and the only other store I know of locally that sells movies use ebay to see what the price is.

>Only the (((books))) are half price. Didn't you read the sign?

eh, fuck those people. If I'm going to pay market price I'm going to buy a bunch of stuff, test it, then ask for a discount for buying in bulk. They don't offer any of that. I wish there were an all purpose media store that actually had game systems/vcrs/whatever on hand to test things before you bought them. I would pay a little more to be guaranteed a game works in person.

I want to say Half-Price Books maybe varies in price, but I don't go to them much myself as they don't have a close location anymore. I will say that I have found Radiata Stories and Wild Arms 4 there, complete and in good shape for $10 and $15 respectively, which was indeed cheaper than the prices I'd seen elsewhere at the time. Also a copy of .hack//G.U. Vol.1 for $30, but as I already had a copy I didn't pick that one up. More often than not when I've been there though, they are indeed asking par-for-the-course prices, if not above average. It makes me have a bit a joke that that name is meant to be taken literally: that maybe the books are what they mark at half the average price (and even that seems like a maybe to me, but I don't keep up with what books go for).

If you didn't know already, pretty much every store uses ebay and Amazon for prices, at least as the first step. The worse game stores I know of will charge off the higher end, while the better game stores (of which there aren't all that many around here) use the low end as a starting point, and then drop it even lower (apparently the idea that a happy customer is liable to become a repeat customer isn't all that common an idea, but when applied, it works, and works VERY well from what I've seen). As for that multimedia chain I like, I don't know how they decide to price their games, whether it's on how quickly they can move it off the shelves, using outdated internal pricing databases, or if they're all just high on the incense they stock (if not the vape shop two doors down). Whatever the case, it feels good to benefit from their screwups.

At least with their anime DVDs I can find some slight reasoning there, in that maybe at times they just scan a boxed set and mark in for what the box and volume one goes for (Baccano! for $16; all four volumes), or mistaking a full series DVD set as a single volume release (Gun X Sword for $7; all 26 episodes).

Depends. Do you live in Arizona or Nevada?

Shame since it's quite a nice system. Have a old one sitting here, but the video eject is busted so have to push and pull at it to get it to do shit.

I understand that, but when you sell someone a copy of gotcha force on gamecube for $100, disc only, & have a no return policy, WITHOUT having tested the game because you don't even know what a gamecube is, let ALONE have one on hand to test the game, you KINDA have to work with your customers & under price a little. There's no reason to shop there in most cases. Very snooty employees with no guarantee you're getting your money's worth.

NOPE. Your secret resale grounds are safe.

shame. It doesn't have the tapes VHS has, & D-VHS beats it as an archival format. I really have no idea what you would use beta for, but it would have recorded some really nice TV recordings back in the day.

Majoras Mask new 3ds XL
nothing atm
Majoras mask new 3ds xl

I used to have one but thanks to one of my friends (whom i no longer speak to) it has been damaged beyond repair.

i dont trust ebay that much, and anything else is 50/50 in terms of condition. I almost feel like breaking down and getting one from nintendo via amazon.

True, but any heavily game focused shop worth their salt is going to have systems to test shit with, especially if it's worth a good bit of trade in value on their end to get a seller to part with. Of course though, it's multimedia places like that you have to be careful of, since while they are likely willing to test out actual systems they take in, they may not have them on hand (or the time) to test out actual games.

Best game store around here not only has pretty much every major system on hand to test out games with, but even have a policy where you can use them to try out if a game works or is something you think you'd like, and are also willing to let you test out that games you've had them clean/buff are now working properly before paying.

I had a hilarious (if disappointing) experience once where a trade/sale desk clerk didn't understand how to properly test a GBA ("we can't take this because the audio and graphics are all screwy"), because apparently the concept of making sure the cartridge is inserted all the way goes over people's heads. Took me all of five seconds to get it inserted and booted into the game properly, and the clerk just looked at me like I'd performed some sort of black magic to fix it.

Still kick myself for not buying a copy I saw for $30 or so half a decade back, but I really didn't know what that game even was at that point.

What's the most expensive game you've found user? You seem like you do this a lot.

Got offered one for 10 bucks, complete and very good conditions back in 2010
Don't blame myself because i was still not collecting, but i do blame myself for stopping the hunt because a month later i quitted a friend caught it in one of my preferred stores for 20 bucks

It happens, but it rarely does to fucking scalpers son of a bitches

You'd probably have to define what you mean by "expensive", whether it's compared to the average price when I bought it, or what it's reached as of now since then. Though, I wouldn't count games with intentionally limited prints for either of those, especially if that factor was known at launch (and may have been the big reason to pick it up, along with not having to be stuck with a digital copy eating system memory). Anyhow, with the former, probably Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, which if memory serves was about $90 or so when I found my copy (~$10 complete; ~$15 total if counting having a standalone manual bought online and shipped to complete it). If the latter, maybe Klonoa for the PS1. I got it for $35 complete at the time, which might not sound like that good a find, but it was roughly $80 complete on average at that point (the Wii remake wasn't that much better off in price or availability at that point either), and from what it seems, recent sales would indicate it's been ranging from about $160-$175 lately. Not that I buy games with the intent of reselling; I see it more as average prices I'm glad I haven't had to pay on games I've wanted to play, by being there to find my copies when I did.

I do. Or rather, I used to do it more often, back when I had more spending money and was closer to some of the stores I like to check on. Anyhow, over time, you start to notice trends and patterns to places, which can tell you if they're a good store, or a bad one, or one that is in between, but good just often enough to warrant going back to (it usually takes multiple visits to get a feel for). Funnily enough though, it was mostly Fucking Gamestop and their expansionism that prompted me to start feeling forced into looking for other options in the surrounding towns for older games, as I couldn't find them anymore in my own town by then.

Yep. Hindsight is 20/20, and also a bitch.

Scalping resellers buying from resell shops (or garage sales, pawn shops, etc) likely to already know what they're aiming to buy, should they find it cheap enough to make a worthwhile profit, and probably have smartphones with them to price check (which actually strikes me as a good idea even for those not looking to resell, to know whether a store is trying to fuck you over or not). The nice thing though, when you find something you'd like to play and own that is normally too expensive, but is at a good price for once, is not just that you don't have to pay the average price, but also that a possible scalper is not only denied potential wares to hock at shitty (at a customer's standpoint) prices, but is also denied YOU as a potential customer for that game as well (provided that you're not the time to buy more than one copy of a game). A good, cheap find is certainly of benefit to you personally, but also a loss for them.

As an aside, in my experiences, my own good finds have been a result of a mixture of four or so elements: Patience to wait and not buy the first copy of something you see (exception if you already know it's below the standard price), persistence to search for a good deal, knowledge of your options and trends they might have (in my experiences, even with so many places using Amazon or ebay prices, I still stand a much better chance of cheap finds locally than online), and luck to be there at the right time to benefit. And beyond that, it's still a crapshoot as to what a store might have, and what they might be asking. Don't necessarily go in expecting to find a certain game in a certain price range either; rather, have a broad mental list of things you'd like to find if you could perhaps find them cheap, and use attempts where there's nothing of value as a chance to study the location. Of course, this all might be easier said than done, depending on where one lives and what's around you storewise anyhow.

Somehow missed this post earlier.
Much as I enjoy old JRPGs, I can't justify dropping the money people ask for Lunar 1 and 2 (which are already too much if you ask me, even if they do come with extras; it's like $130 total for both where I live last i saw them), especially given how Working Designs was all too happy to rewrite the scripts to their own liking. Unfortunately, the divide in opinion amongst people on their work makes it seem unlikely to me that either Lunar (of either system they were on) is likely to see a fan-retranslation patch. But I suppose that's just my own thoughts on the matter.

I live in the states, and generally try to avoid paying more than a game came out new for if I can help it (and I aim for much, much less than the new price if I manage). Though, I will say the most I've dropped on a game was $90, but that one was one that sold like shit, was from a series I really love, still holds up reasonably well, and was a blast to play with a friend of mine who also likes the same series.

I'd recommend looking into Wild Arms and Wild Arms 2 if you haven't already, as they're some of my favorites on the PS1 and are still in the reasonable price range. For SaGa Frontier, I don't recall either it or its sequel exceeding maybe $25-30 each last I saw them locally. And for Xenoblade, that sounds like a bit much to me, but then again you are in Canada, and I understand everything's generally pricier. I got my own copy new close to when it came out for $50 and certainly got my money's worth on it. If you like real-time JRPGs, and don't mind combat that could be described as "MMO-esque" (action bar, positioning matters, cooldowns/art rotation to manage), you can probably get your money's worth. Though, at that price, I hope you're talking about the Wii original, and not the 3DS port. Either way though, that game's in a better place now after the reprint of the Wii version (and once Fucking Gamestop stopped trying to call it "vintage" in order to ask $90 for new copies they'd unwrapped to mark as preowned).

Polite sage for double posting.

This maybe? About €80, is this a bad deal?

What a nightmare. I remember trying to collect all the season 1 pokemon tapes and i just gave up half way when the fucking machine ate one of my tapes.

Look up "thrift store" or perhaps "consignment" when you're planning a trip. Problem is, you might get a lot of addresses that no longer exist, or bullshit like how Google insists that a Salvation Army cathedral is a thrift store, not a church. I go to random thrift stores out of pure chance, as I tend to see them when I'm nearing a Goodwill. Your best bet for finding neat shit at stupid-low prices is going to be rummage sales. Typically everybody brings their stuff to a local church, and sells it low, or $X per bagful. Garage sales and yard sales are a crapshoot, and you're best off bringing one or two others with you to justify the trip if nothing catches your particular fancy. Flea markets are random. I got a boxed 32X for two whole funbucks at the local drive-in theater/flea market grounds, but that was back in like 2005.

Ah, the hell of collecting anime on VHS in the nineties. Dubbed? $20. Subbed? $40!

In terms of picture quality and color resolution, Beta has an edge on VHS, but to get a working Beta deck that's been professionally serviced and refurbished (new capacitors, new belts, everything lubricated) is going to run you around $350 on the low end. I want one of the last Beta decks Sony made, which wasn't that long ago, but finding one is hell.

Seems to be a good deal, since all it's lacking is the 4 player adapter, but unless you plan on playing 16 player Faceball, there's no real need for it. I personally wouldn't pay that much for a Game Boy, but that's only because I paid so much less for mine years before the hipsterpocalypse.

Clean every part that touches the tape. The rubber on the rollers could be degrading and becoming adhesive.

For the records, my "hunting grounds" are the triangle formed by Sandusky, OH, Erie, PA, and Pittsburgh, PA. I only go on runs every few weeks or months, depending on my mood, and I don't mind people hunting on my turf because it's not like I ever find anything worth a shit. Here's an example.

Heh, I have all of what's in that picture gathering dust somewhere.

bought a PC-engine a week ago, can't wait for the RGB amp and the 2 MC14551BCP chips to arrive, so I can region mod the fucker and play jj & jeff.
nothing
a flash card and probably a CD rom drive and a interface unit, but holy shit, it's expansive.

>But holy shieet, it's expansive
That's why you don't buy loose turbos you nig, the CD drive is part of the console that's really expensive as shit, never mind the system cards.

Yeah I knew that, but I got a decent price for the pce + controller + kickball game, pretty happy with what I got. My first idea was to play hucard only, but the CD games look pretty appealing on a second look.

A PC Engine Duo R is what you should look for, unless my memory has fucked off again. They can be easily re-capped, and work fine with the Everdrive, so you don't need to pay for SHIT beyond the hardware.

Well, my HDD and floppy drive arrived. My 3D card is stone dead, and my best 2D PCI video card is similarly fried. Hard drive seems to be DOA. It couldn't be detected by the system, which crashed when trying to pick it up on cable select. MenuetOS is neat for all of six minutes, so away everything goes until I get a working HDD and optical drive.

If anyone's looking for the SVHS deck I use, the same model is up on ebay for $70 shipped. I strongly considered buying it, but I don't want to be greedy, since I already have one that works pretty well. Ebay item number 252975698538

I distinctly remember paying $45 for 2 episodes of Evangelion on VHS. I never even finished the show until 2007 or so when I saw it online. Trigun too. I'm glad we no longer pay voice actors anything. Picking up tapes for less than $1.00 is one of the best things about being an adult in the modern day. Anime fans these days have it easy.

i bought a fat ps2 the other day and right now im looking for the network adapter and hard drive for it

You can run burned discs if you patch them. You're using FREEMCBOOT right? It's best to have both. The HDD for better load times, & burned discs for anything that won't play off a HDD. Shame you can't run ps1 games off a hacked PS2.

Too bad about the drastic decrease in quality in most shows. Watch Tetsuwan Birdie and the remake. Yeesh.

My secret shame is that I have a FreeMCBoot memory card, and don't know how to do shit with it. I need to fix up a fat PS2 and give it a drive, I guess?

You need to add the Freemcboot.elf file to either a usb stick, or preferably, to the main menu on your memory card so you can launch it when you turn the system on. Then if you have a hard drive plugged in you can install games from discs. Technically you can install games through your pc, but I've never figured out how to hookup an IDE cable with a PS2 compatible hard drive to my modern PC. The easiest way to launch ps2 games you download it just to patch your isos with ESR, then your ps2 will just boot the discs you burn automatically. In the ling run the HDD option is better though. Some of the load times in games instantly dispensary so it's a great bonus. You don't wear down your ps2 laser either.

...

Cool, time to add more parts and accessories to the list. Sold the network adapter I had forever ago, but thankfully, they're not too expensive now.

Clearly. I use shitty $1 USB mushy keyboards. I had a Model M with my first computer, but now hipsterfaggots ruined the pricing for them, and I cannot justify spending that kind of scratch on something I've gotten used to doing without.

Do you flip things, or do you only look for games? If it's the former, any tips for someone trying to make ends meet? I wouldn't mind giving that a shot once a month.

At this point I'd recommend just getting a GBA SP with a backlight for easier visibility, as those can also play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games without need of a wormlight or whatever, but I suppose it also depends on whether you're planning on utilizing interconnectivity for those older games, since I don't recall if those older link cables work on GBAs or not.

Speaking of video mediums, remember those GBA Video cartridges that had two or so episodes of a given show per cart? I recall them having a handful of Pokemon ones; even if it was two per cartridge, had they opted for going "full series" (which at that point would have been up through the Advance ones), that would have been a LOT of cartridges. Not to mention the different in quality between GBA visual output and an actual TV screen. Actually not real sure what they were thinking with those. At least with the PSP occasionally they put out an entire series/season of a show on those UMDs.

Basically, if you already have a FMcB'ed memory card, you should likely have uLaunchELF on there already, which can be used to access and launch files via USB, which allows you to install applications and shit, including loaders. That said, for setting up a hard drive, I think you might still have to do so connected to your computer first. But once you've got it set up, you can use FMcB to easily access a loader from the boot menu (much better than having to dig through the drive within the browser interface) and play games off the drive. Just make sure you specify to the loader where to look for games.

I think the first time I set my drive up it took maybe an hour, but that was because I was double and triple checking everything. Strikes me that if you've gotten a feel for it, it should be much quicker

Unless your computer also has a direct IDE/Sata connection, you'll also need an adaptor for that to communicate with the drive. I use a USB one; just make sure you power the drive (IE: plug it into the wall and wait a few seconds for it to start spinning) before connecting to the computer for more stable connection.

i oddly enough foud this in gamestop a nignog neighborhood for about $49. if you're up to it, try there. in fact i frequent said gamestop because most blacks don't care for rpgs let alone for nintendo consoles. all they play are fighting games and 2k. you might find some nice stuff just sitting around collecting dust

I use freemcboot so I can play burned games. Works like a charm. I also have an HDD but I use my slim to play games with ESR.

bought xenoblade on a whim after hearing it from Holla Forums, I snagged in new from gamestop but that was a while ago. The 2 guys behind the counter were funny, one sighed and the other began to give him shit because he didn't like it.

Do you flip things, or do you only look for games? If it's the former, any tips for someone trying to make ends meet? I wouldn't mind giving that a shot once a month.

A few of those are actually EXTREMELY rare. I guess nobody bought them.

Why don't you try a real job, cunt faced queer

Literally impossible. There aren't any games left to flip. Fagots ruined it all with their cell phones 10 years back.

That's what happened to me, honestly. It was about a month after release and they thankfully still had some at that point. It was amusing to see the cashier rather stumped as to what to name drop as their forced "here's related games you ought to preorder" shit, since the Wii didn't have much else big coming for it at that point (aside from maybe Pandora's Tower, but I think that got delayed at that point, or something; I'd have to double check).

About a month later preowned prices shot up towards $100-120 as demand grew higher and it was made evident that not enough copies were available. Good example of a game that got utterly fucked over when it came overseas (and I mean in terms of the actual release, not the English script/content thankfully).

I don't know, I've run across the occasional nigaboo places I look for games at, but you're probably right that they're few and far between.

Yeah but that begs a question: if it's in a neighborhood that's mostly nog, are you talking about unsold new games, where no one's even bought the single store copy, or general preowned games? Because if next to no one there's buying Japanese games (aside from maybe the more mainstream ones, of fighters), or not fighters/sports/shooters, I'd imagine either the store doesn't get many copies of those games in at all aside from a shelf copy to gut, or there's not much in the way of preowned copies at that location since few people in the vicinity would have bought them in the first place to even have them to trade in. Just my thoughts, but it strikes me that it would still create a similar condition where you can't find stuff you'd like to buy there, albeit because people not enough copies where shipped anyhow, as opposed to there being higher demand/resellers enough to snatch up what you'd otherwise be looking for.

A store I know currently has a complete boxed Evangelion set that they're asking $130 for.
On the aftermarket, maybe (though one could always just opt to watch uploads of stuff online rather than buy it). I know I kind of lucked out anyhow with that $16 set of Baccano, but the first volume came with an "upcoming release" slip in there, and listed off the other volumes as coming soon at $30 each (with the Volume 1 and box combo being $35). At four volumes with four episodes each, if bought at release it would have been $125 for the entire sixteen episode series.

Can't say I've ever seen a copy of that, let alone heard of a show called that. I suppose in that case maybe that price isn't too off the mark, but there's a difference between a game (or item like that) being rare, and actually having the demand to back up the price.

They were made in the millions and they're almost impossible to make non-functional, it's not that hard to find one for cheap or even free. If you hear rattling inside the case, or keys aren't registering, you have to do a bolt mod but then it won't be an issue for at least 30 more years anyways. Model Fs are the real hot shit you should be looking for though. The real killer is shipping, if you can buy or look local then it won't be nearly the same either.

Very few shows bothered to do that, ATHF, Boondocks and Family guy, are really the only shows i can think of that did this, the rest gave up after 1 volume(which could range from 2-5 eps a disc)

GBA video lasted for a stupidly long time, like, much longer than you'd ever think for a gimmick format. They were still producing the fuckers long after the GBA died, and they probably sold like complete fried shit too.

Then the Singapore/middle eastern Region Free copies were released and instantly torpedoed the price because people just went and bought those instead of trying to fuck around with GS.

I remember Aeon Flux had a UMD, pretty good series but the cover art was better to look at due to horrible video quality IIRC
Essential stuff for Holla Forums-/a/ fags

Those might have been the ones I was thinking of.

Maybe they thought with the DS being big, there was still market due to backwards compatibility on the original and Lite models? If so, it's a bit funny that they'd be taking that risk while a fair amount of actual game publishers stopped bothering the GBA and switched focus to the DS instead, once it had effectively usurped the Game Boy line instead of remaining "third pillar" or whatever the term was.

When exactly was that in relation to the reprint Gamestop finally got like a year after release? Now you have me wondering if that was the reason for the eventual price stabilization, as opposed to just not enough people wanting to fork over nearly twice the initial price for reprint copies of a game (and Gamestop having to adjust on their own to move copies out).

We're talking ~2014, 2015 here, but before that iirc, copies were still hovering around 100 bucks.

I don't buy things for the purpose of selling them later, I buy them hoping that that they keep me distracted. When that fails, I see if they sell for anything worth the effort to take them to the post office. If not, they go in the basement. If so, they might be sold if they're not useful to me. If you want to get money using non-standard means, sell blood plasma at a NOT-SHITTY lab that won't sever your nerves when trying to find an obvious vein. Otherwise, online survey sites pay a little at random, if you pretend to be your entire family, wrapped up in one person, with their combined income, and answer honestly. Another method is to come up with some good imagery to stick on products to passively sell on CafePress or a similar site. I get $25-$50 every couple years, but I'd get it a hell of a lot more often if I could work up the drive to make silly shit to put on shirts, mugs, and other shit people buy on a whim. Selling game shit and toys is not a way to make a living unless you're trying to turn autismbux into resellerbux.

Friend, I have a 5.25" floppy drive and a Zip drive in this system. I can do anything.

I just got a SNES-USB adapter, but then I found out that my old SNES controllers don't work. So I guess I'm going to be buying a fucking SNES controller. But yeah, emulation is the way to go.

Then why are you here, and it's not when you are about to buy original hardware instead of emulating it

But I am buying original hardware, you faggot, I'm buying a SNES controller. Or maybe I'll buy a Super Famicom controller, since the Japs don't nickel and dime you to death by charging you $100 for shit you can get in Japan for $20.

And I'll continue to call you a dumbass for paying the nostalgia tax. Oh yeah, buddy, Super Metroid totally should be $100 just because people have fond memories of the game. Oh but that copy of Madden 96? Yeah, that's $3. You tell me they're charging appropriate prices, and not taking advantage of you.

Also I do sometimes buy Japanese carts. I bought Final Fantasy VI last month for $6, came with the box, the manual and the map. No shipping.

Nice projecting son, i never pay your "nostalgia tax" as i never pay for anything nostalgic, for hipsters that is
You can call me a faggot dumbass for not playing SNES games i don't have due to prices thou, that would be fair

Also price is up to demand and stock, while i wouldn't charge a Benjamin for Metroid, i would definitely charge much more than Madden 96, which was superior on PS1 anyways, and more popular

That's just because, aside from the fact that nobody wants the copy of the game with japanese text only, japs can't afford to actually keep games in their shitty little box homes, so there's always a really decent supply available, though it too is in the process of being scalped away by japs business owners and the weebs who scour akiba for games people will pay decent money for(i.e. PC Engine cotton @ ~100 bucks)

The Madden 96 was an example, because I couldn't think of any other types of games which people practically give away. Just old sports titles, unless you live in a Meso-American country, then they charge you more than they would charge for Metroid.

Anyway, I like to buy Japanese games, like I said. I guess for some people that's prohibitive because you can't read the text, but it's not like there aren't a million resources on the internet to learn Japanese, so I just see it as a lame excuse.

I've seen some ridiculous prices on Lodoss Tou Senki. Last time I looked, they wanted like $40 for it, but the prices tend to fluctuate a lot on ebay. Anyway, I don't mind importing Japanese games, I think I appreciate them a lot more than modern Japanese kids do, since they're not Playstation/Nintendo Switch games. But I'm not sporting a big 500 game collection or anything either.

Also I only buy games I actually want to play, not just for a checkbox on a list.

Anyone else collect old farm tools?

Farm tools, not really, but I do collect old tools. I have an old handsaw that was my grandfather's, I have a rock hammer, and I have a belaying pin from an old sailboat. Really useful as a weapon if you ever find yourself face to face with a rat.

Just guns, game shit, and computer parts. Used to collect Transformers, but Hasblow went super cheap with them and now they're made out of condensed saran wrap and air.

I've been thinking about grabbing a flashcart for GBA, found a cheap one on ebay.
Figure the only library that holds interest to me anymore is the GBA/GB ones, and the SP is the slimmest, most ergonomic handheld I've owned.
I've even heard some flashcarts come with emulators for NES, not sure if that's true though.

The beautiful thing about ebay is even if they dont accept returns, you can often report their ass to ebay and force one.

Dude dont, those things are shit, the one i had fucking fried my beautiful gba sp with the backlight. Just take the plunge on an everdrive.

thanks for the tip

I don't know if I'd agree on that one, always made me feel like I was trying to do a hadouken holding one.

I own a lot of everdrives, so this isn't bad advice, but if user is looking for a cheap GBA card there is always the EZ-Flash IV. They're cheap, and work great. I mean it won't be Everdrive quality but you're also not paying everdrive prices. It's a great starter flashcart.

For what purpose? You furnishing a steakhouse with these on the walls? Some rusted stuff is cool I guess, but other than handing it on a wall I have no idea what you would want it for.

So they're not even die-cast anymore?

Right, there's a certain amount of accountability.

Even in the first set of Transformers, few parts were die cast. Prime's feet and chest, Megatron's feet, Soundwave's feet, hell, mostly just feet. Transformers got REALLY good in the mid-2000s, but in the past five years, they've been getting more expensive and more cheaply made. What was a $12 masterpiece in 2006 is now a $25 piece of shit.

Problem is, faggots constantly claim you never sent the item, or sent them something broken, get their money because eBay always sides with the buyer, and fuck you. You have no legal recourse.

That lemon looks so happy. I want to summon a lemon.

wat

Yellow Lemons are just ripe Limes. They turn yellow eventually.

I'm going to say that this trend is probably due to the wide adoptance of 3D printing. You used to mould plastic and it was a solid fucking piece of plastic. Nowadays with 3D printers you set how hollow something is, so most makers set it to 85% hollow. They lack the weight, the structural integrity and the details of those very carefully moulded and sculpted pieces from 25 years ago.

What purpose is a CRT? It's slow, clunky, causes cancer, and good luck discharging the massive amount of energy stored when servicing it. I collect it because it's cool and a part of history, like CRT's.

...

wat

Some fags claim that CRTs can accomplish color accuracy that modern displays can't. Which was true… 12 years ago. Nowadays any display which can do YCbCr444 can do true black just fine.

Pixel-based/VGM games were designed for CRT's
Playing them in anything else will look horrible
Plus some TV's still can't manage the speed in 60hz

Its not due to 3d printing. When you produce and distribute a toy you have to make sure you get as many of them out for the least amount of money and time per toy. Its all due the company cutting costs by making a quick, cheap and thinner product to maximize profits.
Since the movies came out they've been even more aggressive about it since the toy line based off the movies makes more money than the movie itself.
everything bad comes out in 07

I work for a major telecom. I had some faggot flip out on the phone because we had the audacity to charge him for violating the terms of the warranty program because he sent back a chunk of granite in a baggie. You have no idea how cheap, shitty, and stupid the average person is. They'll do anything to get one over on anyone they can. I don't remember if it was a (((coincidence))) or not, though, as it was a few years back.

Airbats. Excellent taste.

I miss the days when image related was the only kind of problem we had with Transformers.

The joke is that it looks like "demon" and not "lemon".

It literally looks like a lime to me m8

you might be colorblind m8

Its a lemon with a green tint. If you look at the flames they have that same tint on them too, and limes are mostly round with them only having tips at the stems. Lemons have tips on both ends.

LIME
AND
LEMON

Or am i falling in some game here

Do you speak Spanish or Portuguese? This is something that only happens to people who speak one of those languages. I've never heard someone other than people who speak one of those call a lemon and lime other than limón. Its kind of a catch all term for both.

You would be correct, i started reading and the names come from the persian līmūn
The persian fellas associated their standard līmūn to what i can see is called lime in the english language
That english name comes from the other type, a more rudimentary hybrid called by arabs līma. The frogs called it lime, so i guess with the french dicking the anglos had in the medieval the name stuck, but they used it in līmūn merchant shipments

When the arabs sold it to roman towns, and when the moors dicked Iberia, they properly called the lemon = līma and the lime = līmūn, as with old arab ways. Hence why in spanish the līmūn = limon and the līma = lima

The whole lime-lemon fruit origin comes from a hybrid experiment in the old India (aryan civilization antics i'm guessing) and its original name was nimbū, so we got it old wrong in the end

Yes, i deeply apologize for my lack of english understanding of (wrongly) placement of fruit names

I'm relatively new to retro buyfagging because I'm looking to get use out of my childhood SNES again. How do you guys deal with these fucking terrorists who want $500 for a copy of Megaman X2 with the sticker ripped to shit?

All the SNES games I want, I can't have. Retro Game Treasure rarely sends anything good. It's like you have to have Trump's bank account to be able to get legitimate copies of the games you want now.

If I had his kind of money I would buy all the CIB copies of every retro game on Earth and open the fuck out of them and play them just to make these assholes eat shit.

Welcome to hell, our guardian angels have left us against the raving hordes of flippers and scalpers but we are still here
We can be your friends too

Wanna trade :^) ?

I suppose I could look into trading. I have Run Saber and Conker's Bad Fur Day somewhere in my basement. Just wish I could find them.

CBFD I'm never getting rid of, but I wasn't particularly fond of Run Saber and know other people liked it more than me.

SD2SNES works a treat. Expensive, but for what you get from it, it's worth the entry cost whilst looking around. Or resort to JP copies, since knowing what the fuck they're saying in MMX really means jack shit.

Those are decent names, if you find them, or it as you mention you are fond of BFD, post some pics, i'm looking for both of those
From my part i really have nothing to offer for SNES, and very little on other consoles, but i might/will check an eye on local sources, what are you looking for and in what condition?

Hmm… let's see.

I'm just looking for any of these in not-shitty condition, but if even they're shitty I'd still consider it.

Megaman X2

Pocky & Rocky 1 or 2

TMNT4

Sparkster (SNES)

Misadventures of Tron Bonne

Tech Romancer (Dreamcast)

Oh, I also have a copy of Final Fantasy III (6). Kinda feel bad offering it up for trade since it used to belong to a friend of my uncle's, but I didn't know him at all and I don't really care for Final Fantasy. He probably doesn't even know I have it, he let my uncle borrow it like a decade and a half ago and it became part of my collection when I moved out.

Seriously speaking i will have those names in my wallet, but i'm sure as hell will not find Tech Romancer as my area is full of pharisee-tier scalpers
Gonna look, if for some reason i find any of those after this thread is dead, i will post your pic with the finding

If anyone else picks your mark, then we will have ourselves a very potential trade market

I ve got Ogre Battle 64. Earthbound and FF III . What would be the worth of these?

Earthbound and FFIII(6) seem to go for about $50-90 each.

Is there anything more pathetic than collecting video games?

Oh wait, fuck, Earthbound goes for double that.

Jesus, other than TMNT4, all those games go over 100 bucks
Guess you will have to wait a long time, or my luck to get real good, which is rare

3 sea bass fishes each

Posting in a collecting thread in a jew-controlled video game board

Playing video games.

Might ve time to sell. I was hoping to have a small collection of good games. But my economy seems to wildly fluctuate and these plans have been shelved for a decade now. I actually had build a nice N64 collection and my idiot brother lost most of it.

I got a question, how do you tell SNES repros from authentic cartridges? I'm not sure how to do it.

Without opening the cart, i can only guess cover art anomalies, which include no name in the upper part, too shiny for its age (and inconsistent plaster), bad edges in the upper part too, paper or overly glossy texture, nintendo badge not shining/shining the same as the paper
Cartridges are sometimes a sign, SNES had 2 or 3 forms depending on the year, and some games were made only in certain countries.
It's a gamble

I don't, as I can't justify dropping that kind of money (part of why I haven't bothered with trying to pick stuff up for the SNES myself; everything I'd want is way too fucking expensive thanks to scalpers and hipsters). I know it's not the same as having actual copies, but at this point, for the SNES/SFC you're probably better off with a flash cart, provided you want to play them with the actual console. I've heard good things about SD2SNES; it's a bit on the pricy side, but I do know of a number of SNES games that are just as expensive, if not more-so than it, just on their own.

Taking the time to drop a post in a thread you have no interest in contributing to otherwise? Granted, there is a point to be had about not collecting stuff just for the sake of doing so. It's why I recommend that people just pick up games they're actually interested in playing and keeping, and to avoid paying scalper prices on those, as opposed to just doing so because a game's rare and they want it, or going full on "full set" mode.

I'd certainly agree that art sticker differences are likely the most noticeable tell up front; seen some stores here stocking GBA carts where the sticker is notably off in proportion, stretched for whatever reason, and the store doesn't have a fucking clue that they gave someone money for a bootleg.

But yeah, I'd wager you'd have to actually open it up and look at the board or whatever to really tell.

Would've had TMNT 4 too but the nigger i got it from sold me a broken copy.

oh and no, with the exception of pocky and rocky, which i bought at the lowest end of the ebay scale, i haven't paid anywhere near full price for those games..

On a related note to Pocky and Rocky, I was surprised to see the GBA one going for so much. Last time I saw it locally it was like $80 cartridge only.

Autism sucks

I tend to get autistic about making sure my games come with what they should, where feasible (mainly for cased games, as people are more apt to keep everything together, and be cheaper complete on the aftermarket, than cardstock boxed ones). That said, I could care less about safety pages and mail-in forms for now-dead magazines and such. Game, manual, case, and cover are what I look for, and in good condition. And if I am buying a cased game like that that's missing something like the manual, it's a rare occurrence, usually due to the price being one I won't pass up, and/or I can find a replacement for sale online to complete it.

I do also get autistic about not having any Greatest Hits, Player's Choice, or other ugly prints like that (IE: the Touch Generations prints of various DS games, like Hotel Dusk). Unfortunately, that occasionally fucks me over a bit. Silent Hill 2's extended release for instance (Japan and PAL saw it as a specific release, while here in NA they just lazily ran it as a Greatest Hits print instead).

Being a shill assigned to piss around on a Mongolian finger painting gallery.

This is why flash carts and SD card replacements for optical drives are worth it. Or just emulate the expensive games.

I do not know what may have changed but the last three cases i have that showed the item was delivered ebay closed the case and paid they buyer off. No feedback allowed, no hit to my account or money. Same thing Amazon does now but only if you purchase postage through Amazon and the buyer claims non delivery even if the post office says delivered. It is always on the toys too.

Many cases involve cartridge or CD games, where people will have something fucked up, order yours in good condition, claim it didn't work, and send you back their broken one. There are entire forums dedicated to this shitty behavior, so you should only sell valuable things via a legitimate escrow service, or better still, in person with someone watching over the transaction. Possibly though a scope.

Getting a job & then spending that money on the games off eBay would be cheaper & easier than finding a copy of tron bonne "in the wild". There's like zero chance of you just finding a copy for $1.00, & even then you would have to hustle your ass off.

I'm aware of this, I'm just wondering which ones I should pick off that list first.

Pocky & Rocky 2, Tron Bonne and X2 seem to be the most expensive.

EMULATE. None of those games are so good that they're worth the asking price.

Sorry but I'm a faggot. It's just not the same. Also, every time I've tried to emulate PSX games I've always run into emulation glitches that made it unplayable.

Things like the game running too fast, the game not displaying things properly, the game forgetting to render graphics, the game neglecting collision detection, video errors, sound errors, I don't want to deal with it.

I can handle paying a hundred bucks for some of these.

user, why not just get a modchipped PS1? Then you can play burned games on it as though they are the authentic thing on real hardware. Play all the rare shit you want without paying some scalper jew with hours of your hard earned money.

Better option: PSIO. I have yet to install mine, but that prevents you from wearing out the laser in the PlayStation, and it can be removed. I need to get my shit together and get the Saturn and Dreamcast equivalents before it's too late.

Go for X2. Mega Man X is on the SNES mini, so X2 & X3 are going up in value.

Didn't even know that was a thing, but looks great. In fact now I'll have to get one at some point. Good luck getting a GDemu or Rhea, my GDemu was pretty worth it.

Look up the compatibility. I doubt PSIO plays everything.

Oh wow, yeah, there are lots of comparability problems with some pretty damn good games. Still want one, but now I no longer "need" it. Still, seems like they have the issues in mind and are working on them, would be amazing if it got to 100% compatibility.

I didn't think the snes mini had any effect on the prices of games, thought it was the other other way around, and this thing is gonna be 500 fucking dollars before they discontinue production because R4R3 L@@K EARTHBOUND SMRPG, SECRET OF MANA UNRELEASED GAEM

why wouldn't it? Thousands of people will be playing mega man x out of nowhere, so it makes sense that some would go

Geez, it's now or never then.

If I don't get a copy of X2 by September then that dream will forever fade into darkness.

Because if this is anything like NES mini, and that's pretty likely, nobody is gonna get their hands on a fucking SNES mini except scalpers, that's why.

PSIO launched with tons of issues sadly, hit the scene like a miracle but on release it was really disappointing. Hopefully satisfier works better, now that's a piece of hardware I'd love to have in my hands.

Megaman Soccer, one of the most horrible football games out there, is also the most expensive football game due to Megaman being on the cover
I'm not making that up, goes for 40 to 80 bucks
Hipsters and fandom collecting is as bad as the good old reselling jew

It's not the most expensive sports game though, that would be, i believe, NBA Elite 11 for the PS3/360, a game so bad even EA went "we can't release this" and canceled the game.

Reason why i abstained from saying the most expensive sports game
But Elite has a couple of reasons to its price, it wasn't that bad actually (if bad at all, no fan of apehoop), EA simply lost the rights in the middle of production and just released it unfinished and with very few copies available.
An illegal game of few copies or so to say, a curious item like The Guy Game on Xbox, unlike the shitty Megaman game, which had a normal run and sucks ass.

Anyone here collect mugs or cups?

I don't doubt that the prices are going to increase further to capitalize on that. Still, the way I see it, it seems a bit more likely that the average person might see the prices on X2 and X3, and gravitate towards a cheaper digital rerelease (The Wii having X1 and X2, while the 3DS and WiiU have X1, X2, and X3). In other words, I have to question if what price hikes there are are likely to meet what actual demand there is. Surely the average newfag to vidya isn't nearly as likely to drop multiple hundreds on a single game (especially if it has a cheap digital version), compared to old fans of a given game who played it when it first came out that can get baited into dropping that much to replay a favorite with an actual copy.

Also, I have to question what some of the companies clearing game to be put on these rerelease systems are thinking. I mean, Konami clears Castlevania I and II for the NES one, but not Castlevania III? No Chrono Trigger of Final Fantasy IV from Square on the SNES one? Squares apparent lack of desire to put old Enix handled games on either? Hell, even Nintendo is only putting DKC1 on the SNES one, leaving DKC2 and 3 off. I know they're likely trying to weigh individual game value versus how much they can charge and still get decent sales, and thus the limit on total games is based on price rather than memory limits, but if anything, both have come off as a sampler box of sorts (and one that doesn't bother going too deep into the more niche games in the library) as a way of giving people easy access while encouraging them to spend more on digital rereleases if they've got the interest to. Except that in order to do that you'd need another system anyhow as (to my knowledge) these aren't equipped with access to the e-shop, and thus you can't even put more NES or SNES games on their respective boxes.

No shit. Went out looking for games the while back and overheard a pair of guys looking for Harvest Moon. Conversation between them basically went something like one asking the other one even had the system to play it on and the other saying no, he just wanted it for the "hipster cred" he'd get in owning it.

huh, that's nice. at least they're interested in old games. Can't say the same about say, VHS.

I do. my favorite is pic related I got at a thrift shop a year back. its original meaning/purpose is unknown

Japanese baseball hats and CD-Rs for my dreamcast
Nothing, cleared everything out last year and made a killing.
99 Minutes CD-R's

To be fair, I should have realized in advance that store would draw in those people to make money off of; in addition to actual media, they also sell assloads of hipster pandering trash merchandise (fake mustaches, custom ice trays, food-styled pool floats, "unemployed philosopher" shit, etc; basically stuff that screams "I'm an enormous tool" if one were to actually buy it). I'm more or less there for the occasional pricing fuckups, but people like the guys above are likely the intended customers for stuff like Metroid Prime 2 at $30+ preowned (actual price I saw it there for a while; elsewhere around here it was $10-15 at best then).

The store reminds me of 2nd and Charles, which gets shits load of people who are libbys or wannabee geek hipsters

I haven't seen anything really liberal pandering at this place, at the very least (though this is something of a state that is overall right leaning, as opposed to a blue or swing state). Just general hipster shit there in addition to actual media to buy, and pop culture trash (including assloads of those popcancer template figurines which never seem to sell). For media, they're pretty good at times if you're present to take advantage of it, but this is also the sort of store that asks double what other stores ask at times and somehow can STILL find people to drop that kind of money.

Novelty tumblers and coffee mugs, when I see them, like the Garfield mugs and Muppets glasses, anything from defunct tech companies, and I have a Hershey coffee mug used exclusively for hot chocolate because anything else would be fucking heresy.

I seek VHS stuff that would NEVER be on DVD, if I can find it, and amateur recordings from TV, to get commercials. I find old commercials fascinating in a way, even if it's just for nostalgia purposes.

My Win98 system now plays Doom and Warcraft II just fine in Windows, but being stuck at 640x480, even with 24bpp, is awful. Need to get a better video card.

You & I should hang out some time. I do the exact same thing & got pissed off last week because I bought a bunch of adult swim & kids WB recordings recently & the guy cut out all the commercials. It was only $5.00 worth of tapes, but it upset me to no end that someone would do that.

I'll have to hunt through my tapes again to see what I have, but I put most of the commercials I could find up on Youtube.

...

Fucking aniplex is the only company still doing that shit, they chop up shows like kill la kill and chop it up with 4 episodes per dvd then sell it for 60 bucks a pop

...

So what's the situation like in the rest of the country? Illinois here, & Mexicans have ruined any game deals in Chicago. Pretty bad even a few hours away from Chicago too. I really do wonder if it's this bad in other states, but we're going bankrupt so deals might actually get better as people are dumping things as they exit the state.

No, they never actually released it, copies were recalled before they actually went on sale, with the only ones existing being down to stores breaking the street date for sale.>You & I should hang out some time.

I lived in the baltimore area for years and it used to be that whites were the biggest scalpers around somehow, if you ever saw one, and it wasn't like a yard sale, you were garunteed to pay top dollar for whatever shit they were trying to hawk(i.e. Super Mario World for $25) The Mexicans i've seen generally tend to either undercut ebay prices, or they just sit on inventory for so long that the price that was once top dollar now seems reasonable, and niggers just don't give a fuck. Any time i've seen one with retro games they were cheap as fuck.

What the fuck, i didn't even type that out.

Certainly not the same as $60 per four episodes, but Funimation still does stuff like that at times. See Baccano being $30 per volume, with its sixteen episodes being spread over four volumes. It's funny though. I'd thought that was ridiculous when I found out about it, but then I discovered in Japan it was eight volumes at two episodes each. Not sure how the at-release pricing compared between both though.

Lots of spics down here in the southwest, though I'm not sure how many are in the resell business, at least locally, given how I can still manage the occasional really good deal on games I'd like to play. They do seem to frequent yard sales a lot (maybe because it's so hot here most of the year, making swap meets and stuff miserable), and the last estate sale I saw had them swarming the place even before it opened, like vultures waiting for an animal to keel over. I wonder if ICE has considered using those as a venue to bait illegals at.

Anyhow, I've seen you in threads before, and it surprises me a bit that taco have settled that far north. Then again, from infographics I've seen, they've become the most numerous non-white migrants to most of the states regardless of latitude.

Or One piece being ~30 bucks per 11-13 episodes of a 600+ show, then charge the same price for a boxset with twice the episode count a few months down the road.

If you're looking for yard sales and such, now's about the time. Check craigslist and your local paper's classifieds (or online classified section) for sales, dot them on a map, and make a trek. Rummage sales and flea markets tend to produce better results, with thrift stores being somewhere in the middle.

Goddamnit, chodemonkey, I didn't need to embed that video again.

I really don't buy anime at release myself as a means of avoiding that, along with buying them one volume at a time. Chances are I might find preowned copies cheap down the road, and a number of them, depending on episode count, will either see full season or full series compilation sets that are cheaper and reduce what you might be needing to find. Of course, there's still the issue of when a company loses the rights to a series with reasonably high demand, in that they can't run anymore prints (thus existing ones stand to go up in price a good bit). Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, for example. Funi apparently either lost or failed to renew the rights to both, and now Aniplex of America has the rights. That leaves Brotherhood in particular as just the original five volume print and the two half-series collections here as far as I'm aware of prints, and at least locally, it's not the easiest or cheapest show around to find in either print format.

Admittedly the likes of One Piece, or, say, Pokemon, are kind of outliers as far as sheer episode count goes. Though it's still a LOT of money to drop on them when you're getting such a small fraction of the series per release.

I think about the worst releases I've seen (release format, I mean; this isn't to try to call the actual quality of the shows themselves bad) have been for OVA miniseries, namely because there's little reason to not just hold off until it's fully aired to do a single reasonably priced compilation. But instead you get stuff like DieBuster (three volumes with two OVAs each), FLCL (original run seems to have been six volumes with one OVA each), or Hellsing Ultimate (ten OVAs). Though, the latter is an odd case: I've seen a number of single episode DVD volumes for episodes 1-4, but never any for the remaining episodes, and it since seems to have switched to partial-compilation DVD/Bluray combo releases with the ten episodes divided up into two four episode packs, and one two episode pack. All around still overpriced though, even with some admitted extra features.

Good day at the swap meet. Only paid $1.00

I'd buy that for a dollar

Is it good? I bought it because its one of those movies I wanted to see as a kid & never got to. That & the Indian in the cupboard. Toy size living dinosaurs was the coolest thing to make a movie out of (that's what I thought at the time anyway)

Well, what can i say, it was pretty cool when i was a kid, but it's one of those movies one should never see again when old
Some kiddo finds a bunch of eggs and they just hatch and he goes rambling around with them
Somehow it got a sequel IIRC, never got to see it and never saw them on TV

Fuck that kike.

Megaman X collection still dirt cheap on Amazon, in new condition

(I swear Capcom is still printing them.)

Or you could be a slick bastard and get the JP versions. Same fucking game, a fraction of the price.

I buy Japanese versions that cost less. Your SNES doesn't still have the tabs, does it…. Does it?

How many episodes are even on those VHS? Been so long since I've ever watched anything in that format other than stuff a friend's dad tapes off TV.

Are you using an HDTV for a monitor?

Usually two. Anime on VHS was a massive pile of Jewery.

As single language audio? I know that they could fit entire movies on VHS, so I'd have thought maybe three or four episodes would work, but with it not being nearly as easy to store multiple languages (compare to having the same footage but ability to select what audio to use on DVD and Bluray), I could see two or so being a max if allowing for both English and Japanese audio. Though, that's assuming Japanese audio was even considered much of an option for licensing back then. From the look of what you bought, it either wasn't, or was released as its own version.

Just tested out you're under arrest, & from the spine art it's a 3 episode OVA.

there's only 1 episode on the tape

I should feel ripped off, but I only paid a dollar, so I can't complain. First 5 minutes look good. Amazingly well animated compared to modern anime. They bothered to animate the character's hair moving in the wind when they're standing still.

That's a pretty decent intro at the very least
Reminds me of a clean Burn Out Excess

False advertising (IE: "only the first of a three volume OVA was even included, buy the other two when we put them out goyim"), or someone overwrote the content to tape something else?

4 Episode OVA, my mistake. 1 Episode on EACH, TAPE. Wikipedia says there's a movie & two tv series which might be something to look into. I bought this because it looked interesting, not because of anything else. Gotta play SOMETHING on my VCR.

What part of Jewery wasn't clear?

The series is fantastic, would 100% recommend.

Outside of VHS running the anime Channel99 shoutcast video stream is maximum comfort on a PVM (esp. 240p via a modified wiimc build).

I'm not denying it isn't kikery. Just that if the idea was to possibly include multiple languages (something I can't remember if it was prevalent at the time, but I kind of doubt it), unlike today with discs and menu options, you'd have to actually eat into the length of the tape and repeat the episodes. But if it's just two episodes in its entirety, there's no such excuse aside from "moar shekels please".

I think the IP I found for that is dead? What server are you using?

WiiMC times out when pulling the online content list, right?

I'll upload my content list - just extract it in the same folder as wiimc on the memory card.

Since last thread, I finally got a job and a source of income. I'm thinking of getting a PS3. Y/N?

Why

if there's games you want to play on it, go for it. It's a great system with a lot of games.

Nevermind, I found their site and swiped the listen.pls from there.

Holy compression. This would only ever look good at 240p on a CRT.

It's charming as fug on a crt - and the content he has on rotation is fantastic, especially when combined with Channel 101 and DGBS.

Bumping

Might as well ask: are there any good places to look for replacement cases/manuals?

Banjo meets sonic meets deathgrips meets metallica meets wario ? WHAT IS THIS and WHY DOES IT SOUND SO GOOD?

Look at this stupid caveman smashing his console because the alternatives are slightly more inconvenient.

There's a bit of spongebob in there too for some reason.

Composer's Name is Derek Taylor. Supposedly he sent them a test tape with random shit on it & they decided to just throw it into the game.

If it's got enough games to be of interest, sure. Just be aware of the fact that if you want to be able to put CFW on it, it's going to have to be either a model with 3.55 OFW or lower, or that can be flashed back (a flasher being an added expense) to 3.55.

I'd say it depends on the game and/or system in question. I've gotten a few standalone manuals for Gamecube games off of Amazon and Ebay at reasonable prices (albeit I didn't pay that much for the games in question anyhow, so that helps). With the DS though, there's an added factor that Fucking Gamestop trashed the bulk of the manuals, cases, and covers for their preowned DS games years before they've actually stopped carrying the system, which I'd wager has had a big impact on available complete copies, let alone standalone parts. And Izuna has the additional challenge of not being a pair of games that exactly sold that well in the first place either, so what manuals are still left are most definitely not the most frequent to show up. Your best bet might be seeing if a local game store might keep loose manuals which you could root through, or maybe be able to put a request through for if they ever get a manual for them in. As for covers, TCP (the site forums I mean; main site is very slow to add new content) has cover scans of both games (as well as inlay art for Izuna 2) that might be of use if you have access to a properly color synced printer (or a place with one willing to let you print). Though of course, that's not quite the same as having an actual officially printed cover.

However, if you really care about having complete games wherever possible, there's a lesson to be had here: If at all possible, ask the seller to actually double check for you what the item you're looking at comes with and/or pictures of it (and avoid vendors that either say "can't, it's in a warehouse" or just dodge the question entirely). From the sound of it, the person you ordered from still did you a favor, be it intentionally or unintentionally, as you now have both carts from a single purchase, but it still leaves you out a cover art, a case, and two manuals.

This, but be extra sure to always avoid amazon warehouse unless you really, really, REALLY like to gamble, you'll either recieve amazon's shrink with the game still sealed(after having it travel around the country first, of course), or receive a busted up piece of shit.

I actually opened mine and carefully dremeled them out. They serve no function other than to stop you playing JP carts, and they have no aesthetic function, as they're hidden in the cart slot.

It's a bit more complicated than that. When I said I got Izuna 2 I mean that's the only cart I got in the case along with the instruction manual for it. The case is for the first Izuna. I did contact the seller before buying it asking about the condition and whether it had the manual but they must have just glossed over the fact it was the sequel. It's just more bizarre for me because I live in the UK and it was the European version of the game I initially ordered and considering the second game never came out over here I'm wondering how that mix up happened. Personally I chalked it up to a bit of good luck since I only paid £7 but having the case would have been nice. Thanks for the info though, I'll look into those options.

Oh, and I got back in touch with the seller to ask if they had the case for 2 but they didn't unfortunately.

What does Holla Forums think of my collection?

Nice

No. No it isn't. It's horrifyingly bad. The Hobbit on GBA is a good game, though

Where's dragon age inquisition, star wars battlefront and mass effect andromeda?
Also:

Get yourself a copy of Mighty Number 9.

Pirated, I wait until I can get infamously bad games in the bargain bin before getting physical copies.

Wii controls are abysmal as it is, but controlling a 3D sonic game with them? It's agonizing.

I have a copy too, first Wii game I ever bought.

Was seeing a movie from him yesterday
His comedic life is highly enigmatic for someone foreign, taking into account his themes and type of skills in the camera

Probably a mixture of having a similar enough name, and the DS being region free made it import friendly. Though it does beg the question of what happened to the original Izuna 1 cart anyhow. Maybe the seller had tried to match them up on their own and screwed up about it, but who knows.

I fucking hate hipsters so much. I'm gonna start hitting up garage sales, fuck

...

Absolute cancer. Internet and normalfags absolutely killed reselling.

You can blame (((Steve Jobs))) for bringing the web to the retarded public with the fucking iPhone. 2007 was truly September squared.

It bugs me because they're just gonna sit on all that stock because no one wants to shell out $40+ for some crap ps1 game that has huge supply and no demand just because some ebay idiot thinks he struck gold with his brother's game collection and inflated the price. Then the store will close down and say "there just isn't a big enough market" when they could have sold everything they had if they were reasonably priced.

Why the diddly is Digimon World 3 like 40 bucks now? That game was $5 bargain bin fodder just a few years ago and you couldn't get rid of the damn thing. It ain't even 2003 so what's the deal?

I remember a pawn shop that used to do this, but for some reason, every time i bought something from them i only paid 5 bucks a pop.

I do have pretty good relationships with some stores and that's the best way to get a good price. I remember them letting me get a dreamcast fishing rod for five bucks because they knew no one else would want it. The ebay listing was around 30-40 at the time.

Not even the stores around where I am do that, regardless of what quality they might otherwise be at; they all have the decency to still use actual price stickers and will charge what it says when they put it on there. Though, I would assume some of the stores out there ascribe to the "Gamestop method" of constantly modifying prices and putting new price tags over old price tags, albeit instead of lowering prices they might be more liable to raise them.

I also think it really says something about a store that does that, where they're constantly concerned about prices and updating them, to the point you can't really get a feel for what to expect a game to be at there.

Hipsters are certainly shitting things up, but I'd also wager in the case of a number of systems there's also people that grew up with said systems, who are now returning to those and either buying up copies of what they used to have for it out of nostalgia, or buying games they didn't play at the time, and who have no patience to find good deals and no sense of how much money to drop is too much either. Either way, scalping reselling kikes take advantage of both, and all three are part of a pricing hike cycle.

Not sure. Some games do see sudden retarded price hikes though, for reasons that can't always be fathomed at first glance. Kuon used to be about $40 a few years back, and now it's $160 last time I looked.

>You can blame (((Steve Jobs))) for bringing the web to the retarded public with the fucking iPhone. 2007 was truly September squared.
I miss the old "wild west" days of the internet leading up through the mid 2000s.

Alot of the time it's just speculation, for example and from what i hear, there are people on Facebook, or ecelebrities who fancy themselves as experts on game collection will start proclaiming a game is rare and then people start buying up copies like hotcakes, and it really fucks with the price.

Like, remember that fuck Mike Mattei, the Moineycrafta faggot? He made a top 10 obscure snes games list and one specific game from that list, Run Saber, instantly went from, like a 10 dollar game to 30-40 a pop, and now it's fucking insane.

That one was handled by Atlus, at least out here, right? I know some local stores have stated that, barring the games from them that are readily available (such as the PS2 SMT and Personas, all of which but base P3 having been reprinted now), the now-older ones tend to get bought up pretty fast when/if they get them in, especially if they're not one that was all that popular (and thus ones they might not already have).

With Kuon, I've kind of wanted to chalk that hike up to From Soft getting more popular, but of their other sixth gen titles (that we got here in the west, anyhow), I haven't seen much of an increase for anything but that and its fellow From Soft horror game Echo Night: Beyond. So I'm really not sure exactly what the deal is there. I just remember some stores here having trouble finding buyers for it when it was at $40

No, dude, this shit happened ALMOST IMMEDIATELY after AVGN's pet cuck posted that video.

I can prove this too,just look at the date the video was posted and cross reference this with sites that record the prices of games [youtube.com/watch?v=2yAJOu3btoY and pricecharting.com/game/super-nintendo/run-saber?q=run saber] and you'll see it.

Consider slitting your wrists.

I meant more in general as far as Atlus handled games go and certain people out there just buying shit up because it has Atlus' logo on it, which some local stores out here have definitely take note of. I was just bringing that up as being incidental with the game having their logo on it as well. But yeah, I wager that there's numerous games you can cross reference that way, either with the release of a stupidly popular newer entry, or some e-celeb faggot with a large enough viewerbase, that coincides with a sudden increase in demand and prices and thus hints at the catalyst. Of course, there's still the fact that some of these people have no patience to find decent deals, or don't consider emulation/flash carts a viable way to play stuff (and in this case there's no VC rerelease either), so prices keep climbing as resellers push the boundaries what they can get away with asking and still get sales.

Goddamn, i was looking forward to finding that out one day at a normal price
Guess i'll have to find something good to trade
SNES collecting is dead on the spot

Hence my recommendations that people get flash carts. Prices are never going to go back down, so why waste your hard-earned money for something with arbitrary value attached to it well after it was sold by the original producer?
