Collectards...
« on: May 18, 2014, 12:46:07 AM »
I have been wondering why when some people come to this forum they get bagged for being collectads While others can proudly display their items, state I am a collector and not get any headache about it. So I have to be missing something.... Maybe some of the long term members on here can give me some feedback on it?...

also non-collectards bought most of their collection bitd or during the 90s/early2k, and not only in the past 6 month.

So, if I am understanding this correctly.... If I grew up with the system, started buying items again around 2000 and have been adding to that I would not be a collectard? Even if I collect them while playing them? Just want to be sure I am getting this right.... Lastly if you have one of every damn platform out there, that would not make you a collectard? Why do you need every game system platform?...

So if we don't loose interest were not collectards? I refuse to pay top dollar for a game that went for 30 - 40 bux brand new back in the day. I understand that some games and items will go for a higher price due to the rarity but 6 or 7 or even 50X the original selling price is nuts. I have loved the TG since day one and continue to love it to this day. I went hog wild on the cd games when they came out and thus my huey's suffered. I did manage to put together a few nice titles, but none that would command thousands of dollars. I do buy lots to try and get the ones I don't have but it is far and few in between and I would sell the rest back but at a reasonable price never fully recouping the money spent, but that's not the intent. The intent was/is to have a complete collection one day, so I can stop paying more than what some DOUCHE BAGS think a game is worth. Thanks Nullity, for the explanation, this was a huge question I had too and now I know, and knowing is half the battle.....G.I. ahh you know the rest :-)

If you buy games to play them, you're not a collectard. If you buy games for the sake of buying games...

A good example would be a member who signs up with a post like this
"Hi I just found out about the Turbografx recently and decided I want to go for a complete collection. I want everything to have the cardboard boxes and MINT.
Is there a list of games that have the boxes somewhere? Also what's a good price for Magical Chase? I've been looking for a copy now and the prices are crazy!!!"

There are also people with Down Syndrome who accidentally get ahold of a Paypal account and have eBay access.  These people have been known to be called Collectards, but this is when it becomes less politically correct.

So basically, if you were a player and now just someone who collects you are not a colllectard?  If everything is displayed on a shelf and gets no action my understanding is that you are a collectard....

I.E. https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=11637.0

When you post 90% of your post in your own thread does this make you a collectard??????

It's funny when you shit on collectards, but support this one!!!!!

That too :-) too bad ya can't burn huey's. Just a side note... I have probably played more games than most people, I grew up in the arcades and with home systems. Hell I even own a bunch of arcade machines and they get plenty of use as well. In the end you won't find a more true gamer than me. Bottom line I collect to play unlike some douche bags here. Oh almost forgot you can kinda burn them i guess if you own an everdrive or flash cart....whats the use then,,, same as burning a cd but again no one gets shit for that huh....guess you have to pick and choose ......
