    Hell, we can only hope. I wish it would crash. There are too many people in the business to make money and don't care about the games. I'd love to be able to get $5 games on 90% of titles again. You shouldn't ever look at video games as an investment. Should we panic? Do you buy games because you enjoy playing them or because you like looking at their price tag?



    If it does crash most of the people on this site will lose their shit and fast because most of them look at these games as investments.

     



    I'm going to just plain out disagree with this, i don't even think that i need to provide any evidence. Just no.

     

    I don't think he's totally wrong in his statement.



     



    Maybe he's right but i really hope he isn't, and when i thought of majority it was only including the people i've actually seen that post and such. Maybe i shouldn't have jumped to a straight up no, i probably shouldn't have, but that's such a downer look at a collecting community that i don't want to accept it :/.

    Feel free to disagree but unlike some people I'm not going to attack and argue with you to make themselves feel important or look clever. I'm not an arrogant little prick.



    Well you aren't gonna last here very long with that kind of attitude. And thats Mr. Arrogant Little Prick to you   



    Grow a thicker skin and stop getting so offended. You are making blanket statements and blaming the downfall of the hobby on resellers, hoarders, and hipsters. People here, including me, are explaing why that is a silly way to think and look at it. Believe what you want. But don't come here and make statements like you did and expect to not get a response from people. It is a forum, people are going to disagree with you and GASP maybe have a discussion or minor argument from time to time.

    They are what dreams are made of dude.



    I actually stay up at night with my hipster glasses, skinny jeans and piles of NES games that i stole from some old woman so i can resell them for top dollar to the poor more deserving people out there who "should" have them for free, just waiting for these threads to pop up. In the process i bathe myself in the dollars and tears of those same people as i watch them have break downs on internet forums. Aren't i just the worst?

    "And so the first little collector made his house out of Atari 2600 carts.



    And the second little collector made his house out of N64 carts.



    And the third little collector made his house out of NeoGeo AVS carts.



    And along came the big bad reseller, who huffed and puffed and hoarded all the carts. The end."
  • Hey can we all not be mean to each other? And remember we have members here who resell? Let's respect everyone and their opinion without name calling.

    I don't know about that statement but what I do know is this is the second time people of this site jumped on me for stating my opinion which I personally think is BS.



    If you disagree with me that's fine, I respect that but if you're going to go out of your way to play the big shit role just because a guy on the internet has issues with resellers then that's another story.

     
  • Alright thats enough.
