Can't believe it's worth so much now
This is the kind of guy who buys videogames out of intrest and plays them flawlessly. They obviously is not into RPG or is from a lower class ( newer ) RPG fan base. This is the kind of person who list things at low prices saying ( I hope it will sell high ). May question is why is this person still holding on to probably the most well know non commercial RPG Videogame in this world ???
sparklecopy makes an excellent example of why Videogames in various areas have risin over time. In the past ( before the internet and when they taught shop class ) most people would pawn, flea, or garage sell there items for less and videogames was like comic books.
However thanks to the internet and status value of what nots videogame prices have rose of th years in there own feild. You have to remember this is a young industry like USA is a young coutnry and until a certified amount of years have past only then it can be understood and judge accordanly as with Comic books, Sports items, and many other collectables. However unlike comic Books a videogame value is not based on how less blue hairs ( comic book fungus ) have grown on it but the condition of the cart from a sight view, what is inside, and what is programed on it, along with many other makeup rating systems.
In terms of Gold ( that rose from $80 to $250 recently ) videogames is that and a form of entertiament, historical, tool, work, educational, and so many other things. The point is there is all kinds of collectors and you should not be affraid of collecting more even if it has no value. All that really matters if you like the thing you brought for whatevr purpose.
What percentage of the gaming public do you think makes a considerable amount of money from re-selling old video games?
Like anybody else a seller is the one who making money of it who takes it seriously. This has to do with management and what you know about management of what you sell. Managers in high class business areas knows about what and why something will sell in any business. When you start thinking like one then you will understand.
Most people just buy to play then dump their old games for a nickel at Gamestop
Those are people who is new to the trend and while being apart of that consumer base is only a certain procentle. Think of them as the ones who keeps the gears turning while you bath in the vaths of there earnings. Search
Metropolis to understand this.
This also has to do with the assasinations, cults, and syndicates that formed after the roaring twenties or before. Search
Black Hand to understand this.
We need people to spend money so that they we the people who do not spend can enjoy it proffesionally at a level unimaginable. In general we need booze hounds so we the regular guys can make it in our basements and be booze hounds without leaving the garage.
That is the same thing as having no value the term you want is
Priceless. This is the sole purpose of owning anything. Like a apartment you pass down from generations to generations. Take the gold. watch which is priceless but the truth it does have value. See
Ying and Yang.
You're probably better off with a 401k.
Yeah but with videogames ( or anything else ) you can do just that. Just yesterday in my neck of the woods a couple was selling stuff they had stored in a warehouse like a full sewn image of Mick Jagger when he was young and even
a record player like the one from Happy Days. Videogames is the same exact thing. Just keep on trucking and when time comes dump it all. I mean years and years where I am talking about you being 16 and now your 75. Things take time. Trust your insticts. While even 150 years on this planet is nothing in the infintum.
You have much to learn young padone. The force is all around you, whenever you sneez you feel it, when you do that thing that sends a wave down your back you are covered by it, when your in danger you hear it. Use the force wisely and it will guide you into the next mellenium.
To the force even gaznack on this planet or any other is nothing in the infintum.
If you do make money re-selling games you're either
Or some guy who makes love to a plastic vagina.
Normal what is normal. Do you think it is normal for people to work for nothing and just to support there families, do you think it is normal for a woman or man to wait to have sex when they are married, do you think it is normal for war to be raging from a event that occured around the dawn of the 1900's and still fight not even knowing the truth in the year 2000. Yes it is so normal to eat food knowning that it is the same stuff that is killing you and for your entire paycheck you could be eating healthy and still eat the same food that is killing you????
I see kids making the same mistakes all the time. I'd say they are generally dumb for doing it. How else would you describe it?
Filling the missing gap that is no longer there. The pigeon flying to the fryer or what we now call chicken and was even called the doduo.
into something that actually MAKES money
This is from somebody who obviously sees no value in games and has not at least exprience of bringing in $1000 a day from videogames alone. Even not apprieciate games in there catergory.
Meaning if you know about cars and I mean really know about cars.
For example with Naruto. Somebody might like it for various reasons but one person will collect the entire Naruto series and have all the Naruto commercial propaganda ( like posters ) while another person might collect the whole shebang of Naruto Hentai and play Naruto XXX flash games.
Another example is the person who read Phantasy Star comic books until they drops or the person who plays Phantasy Star Online until they drop.
Like I might own a robot toy but I have know idea of it's value but the reasons I am into robot toys I just get them while somebody might have the entire Transformers Robot Toys and only get Transformers.
