Hey man, don't get so hot.  I'm new here too.  I'd sell you some stuff, but the only extras that I've got which would match your requirements (Game, Manual, and Case) would be these games -

Aero Blasters
Fantasy Zone
Keith Courage
Night Creatures
TV Sports Football

If you're interested in any of these, then let me know.

Also, it seems that many of the members here are also trying to build their collections and so are more looking to buy than sell, so getting irritated because people don't have anything to sell may be counterproductive.

It's all good though, just jump in like I have and build your reputation.  And a belated welcome to the site.

So the thought behind it is, we dont want to sell it, because you in turn might sell it?  No offense but that is completely ass-backward hypocritical for a SELLER not to want to SELL because the buyer might SELL it later!?

Not quite.  The thought is that some of us don't want to sell it at well below eBay pricing just to have it soon resold, often for a tidy profit.  Plus, some of us are sick of peeps coming in here and treating this board as if it's nothing but classified ads, rarely (if ever) participating in a discussion.

I m just saying thats its all these little "rules" like this that make it prohibitive for members to join/participate in these forums, especially considering the 2 most active forums on any classic board are usually the B/S/T and Mod/Repair boards.  And it'll keep these boards closed off and dying as the "elders" leave one by one.

We've been hearing that line for years, yet here we remain; and even if it were true, I'd rather watch this board die than pander to people like you.

Heck, I was posting my want to buys on another board in the first place when a member from here was all "You know this is the ### board, you should post this on the PCEFX boards", only for me to come here and be shunned/ignored.

Maybe most of us have nothing to sell, did ya think of that?

I'm a classic gamer of MANY systems (from the 2600 to the PS3), but I cant "prove" to anyone aside from my game collection, which will of course be attacked with snide "Yeah, but you'll just sell it" remarks. Nor do I feel the need to post a couple hundred comments, which would realistically takes months (or more) to do unless you are encouraging members to spam each thread with comments like "Yeah!", "Me too!", "That's Great!" ( because you know THAT means they're dedicated.  :roll: ), just so I can have the privilege to PAY someone for their game?  Well then its off to the other boards and ebay, where I dont have to prove the size of my wang in order to participate.

Good.  Your arrogance, condescension, and sense of entitlement won't be missed.

I love the TG and will still be here on the discussion boards, but when all you see is:

Check out this translated manual!  You cant have it, you are not "Elder" enough...
Buy this game! PM ignored Game still available! PM ignored again.
Buy my adaptor! You have to have an elder vouch for you, provides voucher, still ignored...

Its petty, childish, and elitist. and paints a very clear picture that my money is "no good here".

You know what?  f*ck you and f*ck your whining bullshit.

People like you are exactly why some guys don't want to deal with new comers.

Thanks Bardoly for the offer, but I currently have the games I need from your list.  I do appreciate the offer though!

And Necromancer, WOW, thanks for the colorful language.  I never said I was looking for sub-ebay prices.  Its obvious you automatically throw every single stereo-typical prejudice at any newcomer, so whatever.  I appreciate the sentiment as it clearly shows who I should and shouldnt be dealing with on these boards.

I'll be closing this thread as it is obviously turning into nothing more than bickering between old & new members...
