A few hundred less than I could flip it the next day. Anything with less profit isn't worth the effort.

^Was going to post this. You're in the age of high quality emulation freely available from the public internet using a connection and devices you already bought for other non-gaming reasons.

If on the wild/sniping maybe up to $150 for a rare NES/SNES game and up to $80 for a rare GC one. Back when I was very active collecting I paid $300 for NES Bonk's Adventure. Nowadays my national currency makes it impossible for such amounts.

0 currency. I'm broke bitch and I got bills to pay.

>>7385790
£0 if possible, absolute maximum depends on length of game and its age, if I really like the game and it is DRM free then probably £5 but I will feel victimised and regret it.

>> No.7386365

>>7385790
on eBay in mint condition, maybe $60
In the wild/on shit like craigslist/facebook where things are usually trashed I'm never going to pay more than $10 for a game unless I can test it and it's CIB

20 bucks if it's something that you can only find for a lot more. I'd pay 20 bucks for Earthbound or Silent Hill.

Easily would pay $900 for a copy of Goldeneye on the N64. No doubt I would pay $1200 for a copy of Mario 64.

I used to be willing to spend $100 but since becoming engaged $50 seems like a stretch. Its just not important to me anymore.

Don't have any obligations irl yet so I'm considering buying a copy of Snatcher for £180.

>> No.7388003

my most expensive retro buy is the jap version of SotN, for which I paid the equivalence of 60 usd.

I'm certainly not planning on paying that much for a retro game in the future. in fact, I prefer to just get free roms.

Glad to see al lot of people saying $50. Thats mine too. Obviously it needs to be CIB and I only buy ps2 shit. I was able to get SH1,2, & 3 all for around $50 a couple years ago, feels fucking good man
Recently bought Fatal Frame 1 & 2 if anyone cares

Man that's a cool pic. I always wished a mainline mario game would have some more serious themes like majora's mask just for the absurdity.

theres a lot of bantering and shit flinging here but the truth is on the middle ground, emufags and physical hardware fags intersect and no one i think feel is that happy about unreasonable prices or would brag about it unless to piss people off
