I really never understood buying a video game, a form of interactive media, and leaving it sealed. To me it is on par with buying a car and never, or rarely driving it. I've personally met one of these people and they were among they most unpleasant collectors I've ever meant. Who knows though, he is just one person. --- End quote --- I also met that kind of collector, and he was also the like to collect all old systems just because it looks cool. I don't even know the guy, he just forced me to listen to him for 5 minutes in a retro games store :o I was minding my own business and the guy started telling me how he was going to buy the turbo graphx in that shop because he's "a real collector so [he] really likes old stuff that's pricey and hard to find", how many games he had and how much it was all worth, everything. I kinda just left the store because he was too annoying ::) |

If I was a woman I don't think I would've had the patience to deal with someone like that. I barely do with people trying to alpha nerd me. :P |
