I was meeting up with a fellow local collector today in order to discuss potential trades and what not and he showed me he has 3 copies of Little Samson and 2 copies of Surprise at Dinosaur Peak. He didn't want to sell or trade them because he "Wants 3 copies of every game"

What's your opinion on those kinds of guys? I was kind of pissed and felt like he could be driving the prices of those games up by hogging all the rare shit.

having 3 copies is retarded, but one person holding 3 copies won't drive up the price at all.

Locally, he could.

>3 copies

sure it's acceptable with games now or if you bought them at launch but this is the sort of shit ruining it for the rest of else

How about trying playing games instead, maybe try collecting flashcarts.

is there a big local market for late-era NES Taito games in your area?

Can I just say, Little Samson was fucking HAERD?

I've beaten Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania I. I understand Nintendo Hard. But this game just fucking #rekks me.

He's a hoarder faggot who wants to drive up prices.
He's not collecting three copies of every game, he's collecting one and selling two when the prices are appropriate.

>3 of each
Sounds like he's doing the Lucky Star approach (One to play with, one to display, and one to trade) minus the trade part.

I could understand getting duplicates if they're cheap and you intend to trade later for something else rare, or to replace a game you already own that's in shitty condition, but this guy sounds like a faggot.

I don't get why the dude needs 3 of every game. Even the common ones? That sounds like real OCD shit, not just autism as a buzzword.

1 copy to pick and play
1 copy to put on shelf and leave untouched forever

What's the purpose of the third one?

I don't have a problem with someone keeping rare games. I take issue with resellers artificially increasing demand.

You have a problem with resellers artificially increasing demand, but it's okay when everyone else does it?

>> No.1808303

>>1808293
It's just the collector in me that wants it so bad. I also want that Ninja Gaiden Trilogy but can't find one for a decent price.

>> No.1809770

Or he could be hording them to mark up the value.

Pat contri says there are resellers and traders who buy a big stock of one game and sit on them so they can put them on ebay in a few years at a mark up.

Reminds me of that pic of stacks upon stacks of a Dragon Warrior game sitting on some dudes table.
