/vr/ - Retro Games

Been saying this for a long damn time. Bit disconcerting since people seem to always blame ecelebs and "muh nostalgia". Probably just kids.

1. 2013 is when Ebay lowered the BiN fees to be the same as auction and LESS than auction if you were a store. They also allowed you to sell more. With this update you can list BiNs for free and after the free listing limit (same as the auctions limit) they cost same as an auction.

2. There's also price charting resources now. Something pretty unique to game collecting. Some other hobbies have it too but nowhere near like pricecharting that we use for video games.

3. The rise of the eceleb. Eceleb opinions suddenly took off around this time. This is akin to Donald Kaufman and toy collectors. In an age with mass media any kind of $ talk is talked about a lot. If Kaufman had a new toy that he was seeking out and that info got out you bet your ass every fucking reseller added $100s if not $1000s to the price tag of that item. This same thing happens to video games. It may not raise the price but it gets people talking about games they otherwise wouldn't.

4. I wanted to include this. It's iffy if it really effects anything but ya... FUCKING god damn auction and flea market TV/youtube shows that show people finding gold mines every weekend. This brought so many motherfuckers into flea markets and garage sales.


All that caused artificial prices because the consumer no longer set the price, the seller set the price. Not only did the seller set the price now but he/she did so with no chance of loss. The seller had the tools to look up the price. The amount of risk involved was dropped dramatically. The ability to cash in on hype has never been easier or with out less risk. And to end. This system will never let the prices drop that much unless interest dramatically decreases.

Ok kid. I actually have a CD with it. I posted the picture. It wasn't like that new. It happened shortly after. Maybe a few years.

I don't care if an error in the manufacturing caused it. It's disc rot.

Has dlc
console games with patches
Post millennium
Death of arcades
ED resolution or higher.

Not retro kid. And neither is GC.

>wtf are you even talking about, LCD monitors don't have any blur at all as it's displaying everything pixel by pixel with no filter.

Wow these /v/ kids are actually blind.

For LCDs, any 60hz monitor is going to have blur. Any LCD monitor displaying 60 fps is going to have blur. Unless they have some sort of software or hardware technique to get rid of blur.

There's no way you're over 15 years old and don't know that. And if not you shouldn't be giving any advice about the topic.

Educate yourselves. http://www.blurbusters.com/

After that do me a favor and stay in /v/. Thanks.

I'm sorry for liking games. Forgot the 6th genners only hate video games now.
