--- Quote from: ctracy87 on June 17, 2016, 09:05:34 am ---My normal response is there is no such thing. But recently, there is this guy who has been posting on facebook all of the stuff he has been buying on ebay (allegedly for steal prices) and every so often he will post pictures of certain things in his collection. Like how he owns 3 Misadventures of Tron Bonne and 12 copies of Symphony of the Night... for no reason. When asked why he does it, his response is that he can't turn away these awesome deals he gets for the games. When you own multiple copies of a single game for absolutely no reason, that's too many games. --- End quote --- I disagree. I wouldn't mind having multiple copies of symphony of the night when the price is a steal. Tron bonne is one of the more expensive titles in the US but also in Pal land and It's a megaman spinoff . These aren't your ordinary games they are worthy to have multiple copies of. I personally think someone is a bit jealous ::) Anyways back on topic in my opinion you can never have to many games. Everyone has different reasons for collecting, certain people go for full sets while other collect only the better titles or there is that group of people who only buy a select few games. If one has multiple copies of many many bad games without any nostalgia or any reason at all than one might have to many games but one can;t judge a book by It's cover. |

I've definitely acquired a few dupes of items because the prices were good or I was buying a small lot of games and those items were included. But I also feel like those copies should be attainable by other people at prices that are affordable to *them*. Someone else may be able to afford to pay another 10 or 20 bucks and still get a deal, but others might not have that luxury. |

Some gamer on youtube; his wife left him after his collection got so big. But this just brings up another headache of a question doesn't it? |

I guess I'm just being judgey, because he's either lying or has a really weak definition of steal. He bought an Ogre Battle complete for PSX and a VGA graded R-types and claimed he got them for $80 total and paid in ebay bucks. The only VGA graded R-types that has sold on ebay sold for $100. And ebay bucks is what, 2% back? He said he paid for it all with ebay bucks, so what's that $4k spent in a quarter? It's all very conflicting. |
