Firstly thanks for having a look, let me know your IG name and I’ll give you a follow.
As far as the “hoop” you would be surprised how many times asking in a forum has worked out for me. I’m not talking about basic items, I mean for stuff that is legit hard to find. This is why I ask, no big deal to me if people don’t like or think I’m ridiculous for asking. Not saying anyone here did, but it’s happened on other sites but I digress. This spawned a nice conversation so I’m willing to call this thread a win, even if it looks like eBay is probably my route to victory.
I'm not actually on Instagram, I feel like an old foggie. I'm really curious about the collector scene on instagram. A friend who was going after his 3DO set said he managed to find a game he needed, and just offered the guy increasing sums until the guy couldn't say no.
So, the hoops was more a commentary/frustration with this forum. I've seen too many people get dogpiled after asking for something, because they answered that question wrong. Meanwhile, even if they give the perfect answer, no one here has what they are looking for, so it becomes a pointless exercise.
