Is There Any Evidence There Are People Buying To Dispose Retro?
sworddude:
I'm sure some people on this world dispose of retro stuff cause they hate it. but it's a super minority and it happens with every and anything I wouldn't worry about it.
Crazy folks exist. but it's a more rare scenario with stuff going up in value. so aside from retro fodder that nobody cares about I kinda doubt much of note is getting destroyed these days.
Not Retro but there was this one guy that bought 100's of rosalina amiibo and destroyed them while they where worth a crap ton. That was posted online. The guy was called Mariotehplumber.
For the occasional entertainment vid people destroy a cart/console or 2. DK oldies destroyed a GBA sp IQue on camera once.

But buying rare, expensive games just to trash them? Seems like something we would've seen on YouTube by now.

Where exactly on planet Earth do you live when we've had morons on YouTube post videos of them destroying expensive shit, like iPhones and other tech just to give an example. Given the nature of what would be destroyed, say a complete copy of Mighty Final Fight or a sealed copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga, I can guaran-fucking-tee you some jackass will post it online.
Personally, if I had money by the truckloads, I'd do the opposite and get as many graded games as I could to save them from their imprisonment; in fact, I may be misremembering, but I think I saw someone once on YouTube doing that.

It's actually worse than that: the dumb fuck didn't know what it was, believing it to be a Chinese knockoff. What's worse? The dude that did the destroying is the owner, which more than anything exemplifies their lack of knowledge and expertise given the kind of business and type of establishment they purport to understand and care about.

Don't waste your money on more older than 2004 games physical ok? just buy them off archive sellers from etsy, but they usually do not say where they work ok?
