    If you don't believe it is here to stay and you have sealed blackbox Donkey Kong and Mario titles to sell send me a pm.
    Of course I am, just like you are arguing from what makes sense to you and how you think things should be. The difference is that you are actively involved in trying to profit from this alleged surge in prices and as far as I can tell, your only motive in posting this is to create some kind of self-fulfilling prophecy so you can make more money. I'm not somebody that resells and certainly the few times I have sold things over the years, it's only been because I had extras of something and even then, it was about clearing space and not because I was looking to cash in. Like most collectors here, I have given away far more than I have ever sold. The thing is, I make a very comfortable living, so I have zero interest in selling my collection regardless of how successful you are in getting people to buy into this surge in value fantasy. Hey, maybe you'll succeed and you can kill game collecting once and for all by making it into some ultra-exclusive club where only the super wealthy can hope to find anything interesting or special. Good luck with that.

    I am not arguing how I think they should be but I how I presently see them to be.

    Not sure what you mean about the rest. I would have loved to have picked them up and have tried for many years now but they are insanely rare and I got in too late.

    I have some black box games but just the common ones really.

    Possible new record here as it was purchased by the main buyer who has been buying up many of the high dollar black box games



    Super Mario Bros. brothers NES Nintendo Brand new VGA 90+ sealed
    Sold For: US $50,000.00

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=230788562126

    I wonder how much it actually sold for?

    What a fun read. Glad to see Port is full of shit as usual and wrong as always. Some things never change.
    I've never cared less what anyone else collects or how or why, to each their own. Flattering that you continue to be so obsessed with me and my wallet Dave.

    I'll collect as I see fit. You do as you see fit. Just be sure that you keep badmouthing us where we won't see it! That's important.

    Stay classy Port! Your envy makes me feel sexy.

    I like how it takes a necro-bump from buyatari for these two to respond. Then again, it was a thread of Jonebone and Nolan Twins slapping each other for me to see that this thread actually made some NA stock come out of their comfort zone. It's not top 20 list, but it'll do.

    Wow, so I post evidence and links of your activity and you respond 'lol, you're wrong', not even acknowledging any evidence presented. Awesome response - both completely devoid of substance and dismissive at the same time. A prominent mod on NA, folks. Quite a paragon of the community.

    Sorry, I'm not one of your 'duders' that licks your fire red nuts when you overpay by 500% for something. You may have wanted to look at your buddy's post above, because you just said exactly what he did, which of course, was nothing.

    Why did you two even post? Best reasoning is I hit the mark with Braveheart and he felt he had to 'defend' himself, lacking any real defense. No secret that the two moneybags are friendly (the rich tend towards the rich) so out comes the ginger to back up his friend, without backing him up at all.

    You sure you two are in the financial sector? The way you guys act, you have trust fund kiddie written all over you.

    We kissed and made up. All is good in NA land.

    Once again Dave doesn't know anything that he's talking about... makes me laugh how wrong you always are? Where did you ever get that MRN was in the financial industry? He's not, but not that it's your business. Go back to playing with your logs and letting your jealousy keep you warm at night! Mwah!
