I don't think he deletes anything, but he bans anyone who argues with him. I like the rule in place -- "don't give advice unless you have a background in tech" -- but it's hard to prove and enforce, so it just ends up becoming a "look at my PC" circle jerk and moderator-enforced fanboyism.

Yeah that was it. Even if you provided benchmarks he didn't care.

I just bought a TurboGrafx16 in box with original packing and manuals, etc. $100 at the pawn shop

I could turn around and sell it on eBay for $400-500 easy

Instead I'm gonna keep it. I'll play it for a day or two then put it on the shelf. Just to piss you off stout

Why would it piss me off?


I sold about $2200 worth of retro stuff so far this week.

FYI...pawn shops use eBay too and know what they are worth. They are barley selling above $100 now

Original box and manuals breh. Look one of those up.

I know most pawns and retrowares use ebay but this guy seems to base it on a local demand. His Nintendo/Sega stuff is pretty overpriced but his more obscure collector's items are cheap. I just wanted to brag, just kidding about pissing you off

He also had a bundle - THREE Atari 2600's + a 7800 + 20 games for $120. Now why on earth would anybody buy that other than to re-sell it separately. He also had a Magnavox Odyssey unopened in box for $200. Yet Battletoads for NES was $50 I like the way he operates.

Atari stuff isn't worth much for some reason. I have a ton of it and 3 2600's

The games are all worth like $3-$5 and a system only gets $30-$40

There's probably not enough nostalgic value in Atari, at least not among the right kind of buyers.

Yea probably because everything from NES to about right before the PS1 does well. From PS1 on there are very few systems, games, and accessories worth anything.

N64 isn't worth anything? I would have thought so because of the cartridges.

Yeah I sold a copy of Jet Force Gemini a couple years back and got way more than I was expecting.

Apparently Jet Force Gemini won't even work with EverDrives/emulators. That might be part of it.

I think I got 60-80 for it, was pretty suprised because it was my least favorite Rare game in my collection.

Rare really was amazing back then, they made the N64 worth it for me.

Rare made great games for the SNES too. DKC is still incredible, it has higher production values than a lot of PS/N64 games. Made good games for NES as well. But they were the N64's saving grace. Take Rare away and what are you left with in terms of good games... 3 Mario games and 2 Zelda games and Starfox. That's about it. It's pathetic.

I loved donkey Kong country. Played it for hours and hours and had multiple playthrus.

Great platformer. Not even sure why..graphics and secrets and collectibles I suppose
