as if they 'deserve' this stuff more than other people.
Some people do deserve this stuff more than others. If anyone deserves anything at all. Should go to those who wait patiently and aren't raring to go. Just to be clear, I don't believe I'm one of those that deserves anything. The legitimate senior members on the other had, they deserve all the things and then some. If they even want it, that is.

If you sit down and wait a long time for a Ferrari, it's not going to magically be given/sold to you for cheap because you were a patient person and loved them longer. Like all things money drives everyone, sure, i'd rather all these games cost 5 bucks, them being expensive is actually more a hassle because it becomes a liability to some extent, I simply had a small dream of sorts, and am working towards that going on nearly 10 years of patience. I have to ask, if someone bought all these games 15 years ago and got them for cheap prices, but has the same amount, are they 'collectards' or just great people because they spent less?
People here discredit an entire person because they have only been savvy to this system for a couple years, yet I've been playing games for 27 years and collecting to obtain more to PLAY for a decade, I have never lapsed in my time in this hobby. I'm a gamer, not a single console lover of something that came out 25 years ago. The PCengine is a great platform, but it's a great platform among many great platforms, I can't help that I didn't know Splatterhouse, Lords of Thunder and a ton of other games I enjoy on other systems had versions or outright sequels/prequels on this system. One of my favorite series growing up was the Adventure Island series on the Nes, I had no idea it, or stuff like Monster Lair which is based on another IP I enjoy, existed on this system years ago.
If i'm willing to pay more for it, and be understanding of the way the world works, then yeah, i'll likely get it first. I guess that's really the issue here, the community here only seems to focus on the allowance to enjoy one system, I game on dozens, the fact that I only found out more about the TG16 via discovering other games on other systems, should not suddenly penalize me. Not knowing isn't a bad thing, and apparently appreciating the library in 2016 somehow makes it less valid than figuring it out 10 years back. I'm sure everyone here grew up with these games and just now decided hey I wanna buy that stuff.
The message here is incredibly mixed, ranging from you're an idiot because I emulate, you're an idiot because I use Repros or CDRs, or you're an idiot because you spend more money than I will and thus get things before me? I wonder how that logic will work when I go to the store. "Hey clerk, i waited 2 weeks before coming to get these bananas, I deserve them for cheaper than this a$$hole who only just figured out he likes bananas, wtf I hope you die"
In the end, this situation here is very simple and entirely NOT a problem to you guys personally. We have a seller who is NOT willing to offload stuff for 'lower than common value' prices, and we have users who will absolutely slaughter you for trying to do so. I get the impression if someone listed a game they can easily get 600 bucks for here, they would be ran off the planet, so if you're never going to pay that, don't complain if someone else will, instead, get them from the very charitable users who will sell you Magical Chase for 100 bucks because you're a great fan.
