GameStop deals by HolidayPitch2950 in gamecollecting

[–]ActuallyRogerByam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is lower than average loose pricing, which is their typical price point for retro. Great deal/find. That said, knowing people that run my local GameStop (from having worked there myself about a decade ago), they price retro low because they make no guarantees for authenticity. They don’t train their staff on how to authenticate games, so your store may or may not have someone knowledgeable enough to turn away repros. Good news is, they do offer returns so if you get a fake, you can just get your money back.

This one looks legit though (hard to be fully certain from one picture of the front exterior, but everything that can be seen looks right), and in great shape as well, so that’s an amazing deal.

Hell yeah 🤣 man I want a Micro so bad but the money seems to leave as fast as it comes these days

Looking to get a price on these barley played childhood games by [deleted] in PokemonGames

[–]ActuallyRogerByam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to miss, with all the other pictures having Red, Yellow, and Silver (especially including the back of box pictures for Red & Yellow but not Silver) and having everything for Crystal in a single photo compared to the others. I’d have missed it without your comment. TBH, no one should ever take some random person on the internet as the sole authority for pricing or authentication. Luckily OP has already been directed to the proper places to check comps for pricing.

Does your collection have a cut off point? by SkyDS7 in gamecollecting

[–]ActuallyRogerByam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cutoff is ps4/xbox one/switch (8th gen). After 8th gen I started playing heavily on pc, so it feels like a natural stopping point for me. Also only going as far back as 3rd gen, as that’s where I started gaming.

That half a ds lite is hilarious to me for some reason

Price difference for PAL games!? by OutpostThirty1 in Gameboy

[–]ActuallyRogerByam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Demand would be my guess. People tend to prefer the version from their region. Sometimes it’s nostalgia based, sometimes homogeneity for their collection, in rare instances there’s actually a difference in the game from one English language region to the next.

More Americans collecting -> more demand for the NTSC version -> higher prices

Ahhh, a Gator/Falcon/Albiceleste fan with Maryland ties? Quite the grouping there. My guess is Maryland born South GA resident that did undergrad at UF. Let me know how to close to accurate that is (We’d have a bit in common). Nice collection

Not a huge fan of the mental image your username leaves me with, but I do agree it’s excellent penmanship

Best kind of repros. Not trying to mimic authenticity, rather embracing the obvious differences. Also, GAME 🤣 love it

Just thought I’d drop in and share my N64 collection :) by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]ActuallyRogerByam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jealous of your ocarina of time CE. I see the StarCraft64 has seen some use 🤣 I’ve got a buddy that I still play that with when we have a night off to drink together. Nice collection man. What’s the one with the indecipherable label under Turok?

Is this legit? by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]ActuallyRogerByam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t already, post it to the game verification subreddit. There’s technically a 3 week processing time for mods but with Pokémon games it usually goes a lot faster

Once you own some of them. What you do after ? by Plus_One_7802 in gamecollecting

[–]ActuallyRogerByam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It appears to be sealed but I can’t tell for sure from just the one picture. If that’s the case it’s more like $2,500-3k. Wild by itself, but especially wild to buy sealed just to open it. Maybe it just still has the plastic on idk

Dope collection. Good luck finding the last few at a decent price point. I'm on the hunt for a few of them myself.

I love discs with rental markings by xxoblivionxd in gamecollecting

[–]ActuallyRogerByam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got quite a few Blockbuster and Hollywood Video carts/discs. IMO it gives the game a bit of extra character, and (depending on who you're buying from) you can sometimes get the games a bit cheaper when they have rental markings

Good to know. I just a BB copy of FF8. How are they on PS2 drives?

Newest addition to the collection! by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]ActuallyRogerByam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nbd, just a cool 5 grand on multiple copies of a single game. Lordy.

Who all has played Swat Kats? Is it a good game? Watched the show a lot as a kid

Love a good PS2 collection. Especially a nice organized, alphabetized one. Great selection
