WTB tg16 games

[Mas]

So I am assuming that anything that winds up in your hands is either:

1) Going to sit on a shelf for eternity
or
2) Wind up being sold for gouge prices again when your kids need braces or something




EDIT: At least this wasn't posted in the PCFX section...

No. I'm actually going to be playing these games. And my kids don't need braces.

If you're interested in playing the games then maybe consider an everdrive instead.  The pricing on US games has gone stupid because of all the collectards getting into the whole gotta get em all thing.

Don't want the everdive. Want legit actual games. I just got a pcengine today also.

Alright let me rephrase and break it down here:

....I ended up with a tg16 in February with 2 controllers and 5 games for ten dollars...
I ended building a nice collection and I ended up selling it for a down payment on a house...

So six months ago you had a TG16 that you got a good deal on but then proceeded to sell for no doubt a huge profit.

2 weeks ago I won a 100.00 from a 2.00 scratch ticket and the next day I bumped into a kid who was selling a tg16 with  cadash, parastol stars, and splatterhouse with a multi tap.

So again, you probably got a cheap deal on some stuff (taking advantage of some kid no doubt)

...I want to build a very nice collection...I don't really care what the games are as long as they are complete with jewel case and manual.

So you really dont care what you get as long as its in collectible condition.  Loose dirty but fully playable hucards are unacceptable.  Only premium complete games.  And who cares if its Gunboat or Drop Off (I like Drop Off btw) or Klax, as long as its collectible quality then thats ok.

Here's the deal.  A lot of the people here are gamers first, collectors secondly.  Most of us are weary of the current state of the retrogaming hobby.  So many people pop into this forum looking to buy rare collectible US games on the cheap because eBay is too expensive.  I'm sorry, you just come across as a collectard flipper looking for good deals to "build your collection" which you have already told us you would have no problem selling for a tidy profit to pay for something else.  Most people here wont go for it.

So again, my suggestion is to get an everdrive or go to ebay for your purchases.  You will be hard pressed to find any good deals here anymore as there just arent any to be had.  The people who do have stuff to sell tend to either sell amongst the people they know or drop it on ebay if they need the money.

  wow blue I guess you know who I am huh? Guess you know I'm going to flip all or any tg16 games.
I am a gamer. I sold my collection of not only tg16, but nes, and Genesis to place a down payment on a house for me and my family.  I did that for a good reason. The kid you say I somehow took advantage of was selling his tg16 to a retro game store and he asked for a 100.00. I did not lowball the kid.
So here I am getting a tg16 back and want to start to build a nice collection and this site was suggested to me and so I'd thought I'd ask and try to get some games. It's not too often that I find 2 hell of a deals on the tg16. It was almost fate that I got my tg16. So this is why I am really wanting to start collecting for the tg16.
I'm not trying to flip or to lowball anyone here. If I wanted to flip then I would be on a snes or nes forums.
So blue thank you for the warm welcome.  .

Here is another issue Mas. You join a forum that is dedicated to the PCE and the TG-16, yet you seem to only be here to look for games to buy. This is why Blue suggested to go to ebay if all you want is games. How about you get to know the community first. Join some discussions, ask questions about games, or what games to play ect. No you come in this group of established community members, and basically say "sell me your unwanted games because i want to play them, but they need to have the plastic case and paper instructions because somehow i can't play the games without those"?

Can you see why people who have been on this forum for years would see that as suspect. Blue, and many other have been on this forum for a long time, and far to often people with the same mindset as you come along, try to buy things from members, and then just vanish. No one here wants to deal with that shit, and no one here is going to have open arms to someone who's first post consist of asking for games.

[Mas]

Well I'm sorry about that. And I'm sorry if I offended anyone.
I was just looking for games to build my collection that's all.
I'll star with my recent pick ups.

Sure, play your games, enjoy them. Come back here and talk about them. Become an established member of the community, and the community will help you. Thats the way it works in these forums. No one is here to make money. So simple selling games to anyone is not a thing that happens here.

Welcome to Pcenginefx!

Take your shoes off and stay a while.   :-"

Please, don't. Mas has this habit of buying and selling everything, and don't let him fool you about the house thing. That was a recent addition. We're talking about years of doing this. Plus, he's a known and out and proud flipper.

Remember that "other site" he mentioned? That was Racketboy, and you can see all the details for yourself there, can see the jokes about mas buying everything and then selling on ebay or at a local store.

What, you think those would ever come back to PCEFX?

Wow, that's f*cking hilarious!  Thanks for the chuckles, o.pw!

Holy shit, this is comedy gold:

Let me explain. See you guys should have every right to bash me on this. For over ten years I have done the same thing. Buy a system, get everything I want on it look at it in disgust and sell it off. A few months down the road regret and buy it all back.
Then I found racketboy and started to ask you guys the same thing over, and over and over again. Well after I wrote that posting on me maybe having a mid life crisis, I read a lot and got bashed from you guys and it's cool and my wife talking to me and my kids, made up my mind to get rid of everything but only keep 2 systems. I sold my nes, genesis, master system, psp, n64, snes, Saturn, and now my dreamcast will go. My room and closet looks empty and I haven't been to flea markets, yard sales, thrift shops or anything. I feel great.
I also my a promise to my wife If I sell it I will NEVER EVER get it back in a year or 6 month's or anything. I also will make that promise to everyone here. If you see in any post that I bought or want to buy another system, then you can have racketboy cancel my profile and lock me out or throw me out. I am just sick and tired of doing that and collecting. I wasted a lot of money and time and I'm done with it.

My sides are hurting!  No Mas! No Mas!

[Necromancer]

Heh, flipper extraordinaire.  Time to delete that racketboy account, brah.

[BlueBMW]

I knew my intuition was right

[Punch]

And that's why people are dicks with noobs here. I wasn't harassed by a single member here when I joined back in 2013, and that's because I didn't came here trying to buy cheap stuff, and it was the same with all "established community members" here.

You don't have to prove that you were in the TurboList or have a 2001 reg date to be accepted here. Just don't treat this place as "EBAY with 2000's prices!" and you'll be fine.
