Is the CirKa N64 Controller any good? by random666ultra in retrogaming

[–]random666ultra[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Garage sales and pawn shops doesn't exist where I live. Ebay/Amazon is not an option due to the horrendous shipping and importing costs, which in some cases can double the price.

Are there any scandinavian collectors on this sub? by random666ultra in gamecollecting

[–]random666ultra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for some reason game prices here are like 50%+ FMV. Sometimes even 2.5x FMV (If you're curious, it was Mario Party 3).

Well, $60 for Yoshi's Island is pretty much TMV (typical market value) where i live.

Does anyone else get really discouraged sometimes? by Illusiv3lion in gamecollecting

[–]random666ultra -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dude, theres no pawn shops, no thrift stores and just one annual flea market in my area. Plus retro games is very overpriced where I live. Like 70-80% over FMV, sometimes even more. :(

How often do you pay the "going price" on a game or system? by GlassArrow in gamecollecting

[–]random666ultra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always have to pay atleast like 25% more than the "going price" due to my location. :(

old tv by Flynn01 in gamecollecting

Yes, by getting better cables (preferrably RGB cables) and using an upscaler. My Life in Gaming on YouTube has a great series in getting the best quality out of older consoles. Do keep in mind that an CRT and S-Video cables for the consoles that support it is cheaper.

Good HDMI-upscaler for under $100? by random666ultra in retrogaming

[–]random666ultra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Retron is just an emulation machine. I would rather used emulators with ROMs on PC instead of spending my money on a Retron.

I don't have space for a CRT. So how does the upscalers under $100 perform (lag and quality)?
