that's a dedicated fan with 1 disc for each day of the week + a backup + 1 for display

>signing the shrink wrap
so the signature's just gonna go in the garbage?
or worse, the game just sits on the shelf unopened?
>>
you just don't buy from them.
let em sit on their unsellable inventory
>>724289383
>the game just sits on the shelf unopened
pretty much. they'll get the games 'graded' and cased up to be a decoration sold for 10x the price
>>
>>724289383
>the game just sits on the shelf unopened?
he's obviously selling them to collectors that also won't open them, so yeah.
>>
>>724289175
how does someone see a guy walk up with these and not realize what's going on
how much of a cuck would you have to be to actually sign these knowing this guy is making money off of you, AND devaluing your signature
>>
>>724289175
Make it more dangerous for them to operate.
>>
>>724290072
he probably knows what's going on but doesn't want to risk bad PR.
I'm sure even outspoken twxtter man Kamiya would probably cuck out too.
>>
>>724289175
>Absolutely amazing!
I sense a little sarcasm
>>
>>724289175
He could have said no instead of being a handwriting whore or at the minimum limited it to just 1 item.
>>
>>724289175
have you tried raping the scalpers?
>>
>>724289175
>How do we deal with the scalping problem in video games?
scalp the scalper's scalp
>>
>>724289175
>Wow, I really want to play X game
>Oh, this ebay listing is absurdly higher than the others
>I don't really care about a signature, I haven't even played the game yet
I can't fathom the target demographic
>>
>>724290072
well he said a "guy" asked him to sign it, as opposed to a "fan"
>>
>>724289175
Millenial stamp collecting. There is no problem unless you have given yourself a mental illness
>>
>>724290072
He got no idea about subhuman whites practices
>>
>>724295484
most scalpers are literaly chinese doebeit
>>
>>724289175
I seed the ever living fuck out of my torrents. Collectors will always be a bunch of retards. Real gamers won't care how they play it and im here for them
>>
>>724291965
And what about the kikes?

>>724295580

>>724295880

I understand the expensive cardboard, but I never understood the whole graded thing. at least with expensive cardboard I can still open and play the game.
>>
>be poor
>pool money to send one guy to a convention to sign your games
>get labeled as scalper
wtf
>>
>>724290072
You'd be surprised. I got a famous band to sign a burnt CD for me once back in the 2000s
>>
>>724289175
I'm suprised people willingly buy old games for stupid amounts of money when you can get 99% of them emulating well for free. I still have my old SNES/Genesis/Gameboy/N64 carts, but I'm not going to buy anymore, I even emulate games I have hard copies of.
>>
these people should be thrown into a government dungeon and raped every day until they spill the beans on their fellow scalper friends and then they rape and torture those guys and so on. it would solve all problems in the world.
>>
>>724289175
I hate these fags with every fiber of my being. They're the sole reason I can't get anything sign at anime con anymore, other than winning the lottery or buy the generic cardboard
