If you guys haven't been, you really should hit up MGC in 2016. A bunch of us PCEFXer folks are part of the museum staff, and the show is very much focused on the actual act of...playing video games. If you want to buy collectard shit, there's a sizable vendor space as well, plus arcades and pinballs and whatnot.

Plus there's a dedicated room for Turbo, featuring Joshua and gang. Enough said!

Hmmm.. it's been a while since I've been to a con as an attendee. Maybe MGC will be the con I go to for funs.

Same boat here. MGC is my "I-don't-have-to-do-shit" con...just conversate, drink and NOT set my alarm! Plus the location is next to a mall, so it's not a food desert and there is a grocery store you can walk to for supplies, aka BEER!

Oh god please no do NOT suggest that the con be 3 days. That would be murder. I prefer 1 day cons myself.

Lowballing? lol They were asking for $20 for Metroid, I just asked for half. Let me guess, you knew or were one of the vendors that was selling it?

I was a cameraman at the event, filming some of the cool games the vendors were selling. I managed to score some footage of you akwardly shouting prices negotiating Metroid my friend!

It was a great experience overall.

I remember getting flamed back in the day on AtariAge for asking $5 for a Metroid cart.  And I think it was the yellow-label version.

Edit: The drama in this thread isn't exactly making me regret skipping the expo this year.  And to save everyone the effort, "Jibba is a crybaby faggot, blah blah blah."

Interesting, I saw a metroid at PRGE for 20, asked if he would take 10 for it very kindly. he said 15, i said 12 and he said deal. Maybe it was the same guy? :P

Doubt it, he was a schmuck. Didn't have much more than 2hrs of sleep anyway. Negotiating game was off. I was more intersected in the joust pinball game to care

Oh? How was he a shmuck? Well, the guy I got it from had sort of poofy hair, thin and kind of tall-ish. their table was close to the back wall in the vendor hall. Seemed quiet but was nice enough to give me a good price on Metroid. Had some turbob stuff too like a duo and some gaemz.

Didn't want to play ball so stfu. Like I said,was more interested in gaming.  Oh yeah another guy wanted $60 for his hacked Saturn 4 meg thing. Cool and all, but nothing I couldn't do.
