This thread is definitely awesome. I've been telling a buddy of mine that prices are so inflated we will begin to see people start selling everything off. I actually manage a retro game shop and I am starting to see customers who purchased retro consoles and games return them because they grew bored. It is only a matter of time before disc based games are the new fad. |

If retro collecting died tomorrow and prices plummeted how would this effect me? --- End quote --- These two sentences stood out to me. I would be a little sad if retro collecting died tomorrow. I currently live in Dallas which surprisingly has a lot of culture for retro game collecting. If it did die, I would miss this. I have to admit to missing some things about comic collecting. Back when Wizard and Toy Fair were big magazines. Malls had comic shops. There was always someone to talk to and share your hobby with. Now there are the same 5 people who go to my local comic shop every wednesday... Thanks Flea. I kind of neglected the good things that being in a craze brings. |

You know I hate to say it but I'm one of those guys who don't get on much but I still collect and would never stop but I'm not sure what made me slow down on being on this site.. It is awesome and I would like to start posting more on here but some things pulling me away... Honestly I hope it does die down.. So I can get better deals and make hunting for them more fun... I hope this site never dies down tho.. |

Those following the fad will stop, those who love collecting because they love collecting will stay! And I believe when the fad dies, Vgcollect will still be there. So we'll still have each other ;D |
