in Welcome! Introduce Yourself!
Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and have started a new venture in collecting rare video games.  I am currently on a $500,000.00 budget to collect the rarest games out there.  If anyone know of where to look besides ebay let me know.  Thanks.

    That is correct my friend if you believe it or not. I have recently purchased a few from ebay and I will be heading out to Japan soon to find games there.

    One game I did find interesting is a game I purchased today at a yard sale for $2.00. It looks like the bootleg version of the tetris mega drive game and it worked perfectly. I didn't know that there was a pirate game out there of the original and rare tetris mega drive. Any light you can shed on the game? Thanks.

    Welcome to the site. This is about as rare as they come, and its only got 3 hours left   http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140384097750&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT#ht_1773wt_1165

    Yeah, but not sealed. With that budget, assuming you're not full of shit, why not right?

  • COVEOSCOVEOS
    WOW!!...so much anger already...first time in the forum.

    ^ Nobody is angry boss...and Dain is the owner of this here fine establishment. But if youre looking for rare games and you have a mega budget why not pull the trigger?

    And I guess you're his cheerleader....Dain what part of North Carolina you're from? I'm originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina.

    im not a negative kind of guy at all , but a 500K

    budget for games , i call BS , sorry but thats 499K to much

  • COVEOSCOVEOS
    WOW!!...you guys are attacking me like crazy....lol...I guess the introduction is a little overwhelming for you all to take in....Myself and three other individuals have invested in this venture with me....this is not a one man show...I definitely would not use five hundred thousand dollars myself just for video games...we are developing our own little business venture and the budget is not completely just for rare video games but other rare items as well...I came on the site because it seemed like a valuable source to us to get information on what we are looking for....I didn't know I was going to be criticize because of a overwhelming number....

    Welcome to the site. Just some words of wisdom its not a good idea to go flaunting how much money you are out to spend on games around here. You won't get a very good reception.

    Sweet good to see a rich guy with no intrest in video games pulling money together to fuck the people thatt actually want to collect the stuff. Thanks for stoppin by man!
  • COVEOSCOVEOS
    Thanks for the encouragement of words...The reason why I posted it so someone could give positive feedback on where to look if you're going to spend money. It was also posted to let those know what kind of budget me and my partners are working with....I'm a business man...not someone boasting about how much money I got....Thanks for welcoming me to the site but it seems like I wore out my welcome.
  • COVEOSCOVEOS
    Look...for the final time...I am a collector who looks to pay top dollar for rare video games....If I wasn't interested I would not be here or waste time and money looking for them....some of you guys sound like women...why would I fuck someone out of owning a video game? If they do not want to sale then I'm not going to put a gun to their head and make them sale.....I love video games and that's reason I'm using portions of the money I invested in to collect them...now is that a crime? I didn't know I would be involved in such ignorance....typical human being....

    Welcome to the forums!



    You haven't worn out your welcome, you just don't seem too serious. You see, if you didn't have a sealed copy of the rarest game out there, and you wanted the rarest games in the world you would buy this and sell your inferior copy.



    It isn't about you boasting, but about you not making sense from a serious collectors prospective. You would think that someone with $500k would know what is valuable and where to spend his money.



    Do you have any pics of your current rarities? I'm assuming you have spent a fair amount of money already? What condition is your CIB stadium events? Got any pics, we'd love to verify another CIB copy.

    And you need to suck a dick....

    Well pat i dont' want to start a whole full flegded flame war with you, but it's quite appearent what your trying to do. You and your 3 imaginary co horts are trying to buy Every copy of rare games, so you can then resell them for higher prices. Unless your "investors" really just want to invest in your hobby.



    It angers me when people buy stuff they know real collectors want, just so they can make a buck off it later. It's smart business i just hate When assholes come in to a collector fourm, hey im so and so i got x amount of dollars and i want rare shit that you guys might actually want.



    S'all good it's big business you just came off like a prick. Enjoy collectin.
