>that will be $100,000 + tax + shipping + fees + tariffs + tips, pleaseWhat is the max that you would pay for a retro videogames?>in b4 I would only emulate itYou don't count and you're not technically retro.
>>12586404It depends on the game, if it's a game I really like the max i'd pay is 100 bucks but I don't think any game is truly worth more than 50
>>12586413this is the sane takeeven saner is only collecting games you know you'll play more than once + have a real attachment to
>>12586404>You don't count and you're not technically retro.Games are digital creations, they exist as data.Is an old PC game shared on a BBS in 1992 not retro?
$49.99
>>12586404Like what >>12586413 said, it really depends on what's being sold. For the actual rare games that I'd want and play, I'd max out at $300 and anything over $150 would have to be incredibly rare (less than 5k copies) and in good condition. For consoles I'd be willing to spend more, but the max is still around $600. The only thing I'd spend over a grand for are prototypes and stuff like that and that's because I'm autistic.
>>12586404Pat the NES Cuck got his gold one for around 20k several years ago in a private sale.
>>12586536what's even the appeal of this specific game that you would pay 20k for it
>>12586548Pat wanted a complete US collection and didn't consider it complete without both the gold and grey versions of this cartridge which he owns both of and thus has a complete collection (minus some bootlegs from the era). He's a shelf collector.
I'm tired of these threads, fuck off forever
remember when this fucking looser went on pawn stars for some reason?
>>12587082He also appeared on the Spike TV show "1,000 Ways to Die" that was a show about weird ways people have died. It was a gaming related one and he was billed as a "Gaming Expert". It's also notable because it credited him with his real last name, Buonincontri. He has it blocked in the comments on his videos and in his streams lol.
>>12586404Nothing close to that. That said, I better understand spending a chunk on something like this, something with some history behind it, as opposed to whatever random game that you used to be able to buy from a WalMart bargain bin, but was later memed into four figure territory because it was a "hidden gem" that hardly anybody bought when it was current. I'm not saying those games should be devoid of value, I just don't grasp people who hold them up as "holy grails."
the max I ever paid was $90 for Dracula X: Rondo of Blood
>>12586404Most I've spent is $8000. I want to get Magical Chase at some point which will set me back about $10,000. That's my limit. I won't collect AES games so there's nothing pricier than that, except competition carts which are just overpriced demo carts imo
>>12586404i doubt i'd pay more than a hundred bucks(ive paid near 100 for a few of them iirc). but then again, you never know what you might find that would make you want it real bad. 6 numbers is bonkers thoughever. i'd need to be very rich to spend that much on a game.
>>12587082haha what a nerd
>>12587082He literally called and offered to come on and told them what he had. He never intended to sell them, it was to show them off on TV
>>12587260based big dick move
>>12587143>I won't collect AES games The AES games were very expensive when they were released and time only made the problem worse (or great if you're a collector). I'm waiting for an MVS board so I can hack it to play pirated arcade ROMs. Way cheaper.
>>12586558We live in a period where someone can willingly spend that much on a piece of plastic and people think they aren't being paid enough at their job and can't ever afford a home?
