I believe him. I found CIB copies of SMB2, Rampage, and Metroid in a dumpster a couple years back.

You would be surprised the shit that gets thrown away. My friend found a working PS3 super slim by a dumpster behind a Goodwill a week or two ago.

Maybe if I actively looked in garbage containers I would find something similar
I found $150+ worth of toys in a dumpster when I was 11. Kept some, donated the rest so some kid could pick them up at a Goodwill for cheap rather than have them go to waste

I don't really care for sealed games. They are meant to be played and enjoyed. It's like having a sealed movie or a covered painting. What good is a sealed game?

>> No.1001698

>>1001686

I like sealed games because opening them and seeing how they shipped back in the day is pretty interesting and everything is in good condition, i agree that holding onto them sealed is kinda stupid though.

I would fucking KILL to get sealed boxes of any of the Marathon games, or the old Bungie Mac Action Sack

Some of the stuff that people throw out is ridiculous. I feel like I should try and find stuff in some of the local dumpsters just to see if I can save any precious games, it would be a shame if they were just thrown away like that.

This is the logic that has led people to believe that every little "antique" (read: garbage) they have is worth a lot of money to -somebody- out there. It needs to stop. Even if there are collectors it doesn't mean they are willing to pay out the ass for old shit.

Sealed Dreamcast games aren't really that hard to come by, and Red Hat isn't really a collector's item either. Beyond that, that's pretty neat I guess.

I miss those big boxes PC games used to come in. Yeah they took a lot of shelf space but man they were nice looking. Same goes with those PS1 long boxes and American Sega Saturn cases.

What's the point?

They won't really be worth all that much later, you'd be better off with stocks or something.

Or if they're for showing off to your friends, they'd probably just say 'cool' and that'd be that.

>all those people saying they are pointless because they aren't worth anything.

Holy shit you guys are worse than reseller scums.

What happened to, you know, enjoying collecting games for the sake of it? What happened to you know, PLAYING the games?

Is this what "retro gaming" has come to? I hope this market will crash soon so you guys go hop on another trend.

Yeah because finding a bunch of sealed games for free is totally not worth anything. Also doesn't System Shock 2 go for a lot these days or did the release on GoG and Steam bring down the price for a physical copy?

For the sealed box, maybe. I got a sealed jewel copy for like $2 in 2006 when I played it for the first time, so I don't think it's really ever been THAT pricey/rare.

I think it's about time we got a /vc/ for videogame collectors so we can keep them the fuck out of the video game discussion board.

You dumpster found that? FUCK.

Pretty jelly for that SS2 and Deus Ex. I'm sure some people feel the burn for Diablo...but fuck me, System Shock 2.

If, for what ever reason, you don't want them, you can sell them on eBay. Contrary to what many on this board believe, PC game collecting is expensive as fuck.
