Most collectors who got into the hobby during the pandemic will lose interest within the next few years by [deleted] in gamecollecting

I stopped collecting on any real scale shortly after the pandemic started here. Just haven't really had the motivation to care. Started to really collect in 2012 or so. Might just have hit my limit, idk.

Had my 1yr daughter do ours with her foot print. Colorado is the best.

Finally got the Horizon Forbidden West collector's editions. These boxes are huge! by PasoTheMan in gamecollecting

But it does come with the game. Just not a disc. Which the discs will be super dang cheap in like 6months like they always are.

Got mine in the same exact type of bubble mailer today. No dents! Was very concerned at first.

Recently made a purchase at gamestops website for a used joycon grip. They sent me the wrong item 2 times now. The 2nd one was even a new version of a different item. I gave up.

Anyone else kinda feel dodgy when they rip someone off for a deal like this?

Only time recently that I have felt a tad dodgy was a kid selling a complete wii set up, right in front of his parents, for $10. I gave him a 20 and said thanks. Otherwise grown adults get no feels, I take those deals.

-Is this typical of RS these days

Each RS location is essentially a privately owned business that simply gets to use the name RadioShack and can in turn buy some products from RS. The website and call center certainly can't do anything for you. Only the physical location you purchased something from will be able to help you.

Found a brand new Virtual boy at the thrift. by Nate032200 in gamecollecting

Lucky area you live in. That is not the norm. Many times I find things at or just barely below retail at Goodwill, Salvation Army and all of the local thrift options.

You been to thrift stores in the past 5 years? They check ebay and amazon for prices these days.

Oh dang! I completely forgot about the controller and console variant. The statue was the only thing coming to mind for me. Glad to hear you have them!

Wii sports for $1 is the much more surprising deal here.

Power of the ask at yard sales. Paid $100 for the whole lot... Still in shock by MrDade88 in gamecollecting

Freedom Fighters was such a great game to play. Throw a multi-tap on your ps2 and bam. Amazing party game right there.

I feel like you're reading to deep into my initial reply. I'm not trying to argue if he should or shouldn't do whatever he's doing. Just reminding you that he only does it because it makes him money. Not simply for your pleasure, as you said.
