U.S Hucards>Go can from cheap to expensive Bonk3 any one

Speaking of expensive U.S hucards i won me a U.S Neutopia 2.

While i'm rather piss off over.... the bumping on it's price for wich i got to pay for it.

In the end i guess i had "no choice" since i wanted to play this game realy bad.

I swear getting U.S cards off,of ebay is starting to drive me nuts

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8221590658?

Holy crap that was you that won . It ended at like $130 or so. Of course it was like new condition and complete. These games are getting really too expensive to me. I could understand maybe around $60 to $80 but over $100 is a dent in the pocket. I could get Neo Geo carts for these prices at times. I wonder what the turbo chip with the book and case only costs normally?

Oh well its part of collecting, but E-bay is getting rather stupid these days. I have seen some games for all systems sell for way more than they really should at times. Example: Dracula X for the SNES US, how is this game so rare that it goes to like $40 + cart only when you see like 7 or 10 sell all the time. Seems like things just sell at the prices they commonly sell for and then its in stone till it fazes out for a little bit.

Yeah it's crazy these days getting games for some old systems.

Still i can blame myself since i... took so long to get back into the TG16/PCE sceen.

The value for the systems and some of it's games have (double in value).

90's it was cheap then now on, ebay the value has jumped since collectors want it now.

Also there's the factor of, NEC making limted copys on some of those last domestic release.

Again it's all about supply vs demand

I miss the days when.... video games 'were consider entertainment and not some bodys retirement fund.

I swear collectors need to be kick out of the hobby.

I'm a collector, but just not a 100% full blown one. For American TG16 games, I usually make sure it has the jewel case and instructions but I don't care if it doesn't have the cardboard box or HuCard sleeve and for Japanese PCE games, I don't care about registration or spine cards or anything, just the jewel case and instructions, and well game of course too. Also for systems that sell games with cardboard boxes only, I usually just skip the box, like NES and SNES.

I'm also collector but I only go after games I absolutely want to play. What I dislike about collectors are those who buy games based on rarity and value, and have no intention of playing it.

In my eyes, PC Engine in Japan kinda rivals the Famicom in cheapness of most software.

If I could track down Japanese versions of every PCE Namco title, I'd go for it. If I could recall, I've seen Barunba and Wonder Momo go for 5 in US $.

I suppose I kind of fit into that by accident.

My personal goal is to get all the officially released PCE games. That's a tall order, but it keeps me interested in the system. Also, I'm trying to build a site like pcecp.com so I'll be using my collection to build up the site.

Unfortunately for me, I don't have as much time to play games as I used to. Hell, I just started playing some PC games that I bought over 2 years ago! I often find myself staring at my PCE games and just wishing I could just sit down and play them all... but there's always something that's "more important" to do. Such is life I suppose.

I bought like 50 PCE games while I was in Tokyo for TGS and I've played a whopping 1 of those so far(Metamor Jupiter).

By accident, I've become the collector who buys stuff just to have but never plays. That's the kind of collector even I dislike.

I know what you are talking about Akamichi where you just stare and the games and don't play them. I found a way to somewhat get over this is to just force yourself to play a game, any game and give it some good time too and try to enjoy everything about it. This seemed to work for me when I had that feeling.

Long as most games im looking for stay within 10-40 i should be Ok. I dont have any other system so i treat my Turbo Grafx 16 in the way people see their Xbox or PS2, which is in the now. I won't ever spend the money that games like Air Zonk or Neutopia 2 go for because thats waaay to much for me even if it was a brand new game

That's why these days i'm trying to get what i want to, play and not worry about if the game has value.
If you get tied up with the "collecting part" so much 'it realy takes the fun out of gaming

That's why i think gaming should be fun not a investment.

Well, the difference is I want to play them all. But there are a number of other things I want to do also. So, it's simply a juggling act.

Anyway, I just noticed I'm posting this message and the TV's off... a perfect chance to play PCE.
