Maybe it really isn't a bubble. Classic shit is already making people rich.
>>12617208>Organized Co-ordinated Gay Op to fuck prices even moreRemember when that literal homosexual claimed that his games were SUPER RARE because of the WETA grades that literally turned out to be a scam!?
>>12617208Totally not a scam
You guys need to watch YouTubers like Pat the NES Punk. This shit is a SCAM.
>>12617208$600k is not nothing...but that is not rich money, and this is the highest priced example.Classic shit isn't making any fucks rich.
Your games will be auctuoned off when you die
>>12617259The grading thing is a fucking joke. The people behind it will slab anything, and the only people who value it are clueless fucks who did not give two shits about videogame collecting until they saw an opportunity to turn games into currency tokens for their investment schemes. Id you ever see where the people who are all tied up in this shit, it becomes pretty apparent that many of them are dumb as a sack of shit and have basically no knowledge of game collecting beyond what is drip fed to them by grading company and auction house reps.
>>12617208>just found in a desk drawer, guys! totally happened that way>posts ai slop photo man these twitter losers are so starved for any interaction. why is illegal to kill them? It should be completely legal>>12617310>The grading thing is a fucking joke.the entire grading system was exposed as an enormous scam that benefits auction houses that take a percentage of the final sale.
>>12617208>>12617354Nintondo Entertainment System
It's one of the test market copies, it sells for a lot because it's legitimately rare. That said, lol at paying that much for SMB1
It was inserted in my ass for 30 years and now it's here
>The most expensive video game? why yes, the most common one!Why are vidyafags like this
>>12617570Early production run. Just like first edition print of books
owning an vidya and not opening it should be punishable by beheading mashallah
>>12617305"My biggest fear is that I'll die and my wife will sell my [insert name of hobby objects here] for what I told her I paid for them."
>original shrink wrapNES games were not shrink wrapped though, the boxes were sealed shut with a sticker over the flap. Someone just paid over half a million dollars for a fake.
>>12617676>2021
>>12617208The most common scenario for unopened toys is they were bought for a child who died before it could be opened. Then the grieving parent can't bring themselves to do anything with it so they just put it in storage.
>>12617208No, exploiting man children with money is making people rich. It's a very lucrative business.
>>12617676Different regions and different print periods had different seals for NES.
>>12617570Nah, just t*ndies
>>12617208This is an AI pic, that inflated scam bullshit already died down and you're a dumb shit.
>>12618737These people need euthanized.
>>12618871>I was recorded being excited for something I like among people equally excited
>>12619378I'm willing to bet my life's savings that most of those people are just scalpers.
>>12619384Can't blame them.
>>12619414i still cant tell if this is AI over the original fat guy or what
>>12619414this must be what hell looks like
>>12619459Eternally being reminded how others have achieved the lifestyle they wanted?
>>12619414imagine how frustrating it is for them when a new console comes out. Here you have all this decor and shelf arrangement perfectly designed to incorporate all the consoles/games and now you have to redesign it all to incorporate the new one
>>12619470no, having to live in a garish nightmare of endless distracting shit shoved in your face
>>12617305Yeah, probably not. A lot of the collectables end up in a yard sale, and get sold at bottom dollar.I go to yard sales all summer. I saw some neat Indian, feather not dot, items. I asked about them and the person began beaming about how they were antiques and started naming off famous Indians, etc and provided letters of recognition from people who assess this stuff. I just smiled "I just thought it was neat looking I really know nothing about it, thanks." The guy tried to sell me ceremonial clothes that some famous guy wore during some transformative event in history. I said "You should keep this if it is important to your family." The guy said "My father collected cowboy and Indian artifacts, it is not my history." I said "then you should give it to a museum." He said he tried but they wouldn't give him a realistic price for it...That is collectors in a nutshell. They don't know what this shit is worth. They certainly don't know what it will be worth in 20 years.
>>12617305I hope it will get solddon't care for what moneyI just hate the idea that my old beloved Amigas will just land in the trash
>>12619502This, 25 years ago I couldn't find any takers for my c64s. I just wanted people to pay shipping. I had a 5 of them, accessories and a c128. I fished them out of yard sales and thrift stores and repaired 2 of them and everything was in working condition. But I only got 1 buyer for the c64 and one for the c128 no one bought the accessories or the other c64s. Literally "Buy It Now" $5 + shipping costs, and shipping was the straight cost to ship nothing else.It reminds of the old Bill Gates advert where he picks up an old curbed Mac drives around with it and ends up curbing it again.
>>12617208>twatter screencap thread>"on april 2nd 2021">heritage auctions>holy shit maybe its not a bubble guise??!?!lemme guess, youre the guy who bought the million dollar mary-o kart?
>>12617208Lame
>>12617208$660,000 is the price of home ownership for in a middle to low-income neighborhood. I wouldn't call that rich. The fact that poor people have such a small grasp as to the value of currency and who carries the abundance of global currency really helps us understand this post.
>>12619539anyone who owns a mortage-free home is rich in this day and age
>>12619414Wish I had that kind of money tbqgdhwyf
>>12619414you know what, good for himnot the kind of mancave i'd want personally but if they have money and it makes them happy, who am i to deny that
>>12618703Imagine if his name was Ben and he drowned lol
>>12619414Good for him if this makes him happy. Personally, I was waiting for the guy int the costume to open the basement door and lead us down into his sex dungeon, but it turned out wholesome.
>>12617208>AI slop postop is a turbo nigger faggot, no backsies
>>12617305They'll be buried with me like the Kings of old.
>>12617208Reeks to AI success story of something starting sad then making the guy rich from one day to other.Wrapping is a shit made post 2000s or maybe even later, worked at a store that sold videogames and we did that when games came.>remove the wrapping.>open box.>remove cartridge and leave it on a huge box.>leave empty box on shelves (anti theft measure).>customer picked box of game and we put the game back on box.>ask if the customer want the game sealed for present just in case sealing machine was working.
>>12617208>3 years salary makes you richUh no lol
>>12619573wtf that’s literally my mom (and me by association). Happy days are ahead!!
>>12617208>>12617242thanks, metal jebus rots.
>>12619414is this the new Sonic-chu meme?
>>12621081you make 200K a year? >>>/biz/
>>12617208totally not money laundering
>>12619378buy my rope it's gold coated.
>>12619590you think that's gonna make you happy?
>>12617208Yeah if you have the most iconic videogame shrink-wrapped brand new or some other ridiculously stupid collectors item the market isn't rigged. Otherwise who the fuck thinks shovelware I'm trying to buy for nostalgia is worth 70 dollars because they have the box which is half torn and the guide with food stains on it. The game in question was bugs bunny rabbit rampage for SNES. Boomers and investor bros have ruined the hobby and I'll continue to emulate
>>12621268If the only reason you have these games is to play them then yeah you might as well just emulate.
Here's my NES collection you cocksucking queers
>>12621527Nased and everpilled
>>12619414Too bad he barely touches anything pre-Wii.
>>12621527If you played the game on an everdrive and not the original authentic cartridge, you didn't beat the game.
>>12619516I would have gladly bought your stuff. Micros are not given the respect they deserve in the realm of gaming.
>>12621570>authentic>NESIf you didn't play it on an original Japanese Famicom, in Japan, you didn't beat the game
>>12621527Wow, just 1 cart? Pretty fukin lame, brah.
>>12621584This is true.
>>12621234Maybe not happy, but not having to worry about the mortgage, or hating my slave labor job, or if I'll have to buy cheap noodles all week again, or if I'll have to choose between gas and going to the doctor could be helpful
