/vr/ - Retro Games

I've been collecting for years. Finding retro games at garage sales, thrift stores & flea markets was just as fun as the games themselves but that's over. There's no thrill of the hunt anymore. It's getting harder & harder to find anything good because every schmuck with a smart phone who passes by looks up the price then immediately scoops them up to be flipped on eBay.

And eBay's no good because it's all Buy It Now and all the greedy scalpers circle jerk the sales from each other, artifically inflating prices so a game that a year or two ago at $50 is now $150 with only a couple people having dozens of copies and waiting until some rich fuck decides his boat no longer amuses him so he's gonna start dropping thousands on retro games he'll probably only want for display.
