Welcome to MSX gaming

How do you maintain and grow your collection? Well, of course you always be on the lookout for cheap games. Everybody knows that.

If you've been a collector your whole life then you should already have a huge video game library and also be familiar with the market forces.

To keep your collection strong, you leverage the items that are experiencing outrageously high values (I'm looking at you, S/NES) to blow up your collection in undervalued areas (PS2) and then, when the market changes you leverage the value you've added to your collection through wise investment to replace anything you might have missed when you let it go at an unbeatably high price.

Do you have any idea how many PSX games I got in trade for Earthbound five years ago? They're already worth more than current values and I predict EB will go back down to $100-$150 by 2016.

This is the game that got me to give the MSX a try even though the English translation is only 6/8 done and seems to have been that way for a long time.

Also 9,800 yen? Are you fucking kidding me? Or was the exchange rate just much lower back then.
