| What kind of tolerance do you have for the prices of retro games? |

Generally, my maximum price is $3. For items I am actively seeking, the price may be up to $10. My max on Genesis games is at $20. For Ebay, I won't go over $10 unless it is a lot, then it depends on what is in it, the max might be $80-100. So I guess I have zero tolerance for the overall market. If games are worth more than I am comfortable to spend, then I won't be getting it. And not going to make a big deal about that, and it isn't important to have *whatever* because I have plenty of games I can still play. That other stuff can wait. |

Before I buy a retro game, I always ask myself "If this breaks, will I be willing to replace it?" There are a ton of games I want but I just can't justify spending nearly $300 because if it breaks I'm fucked. |

Say your car even if it's insured breaks your fucked since your monthly payments will go up by allot if you decide to let the insurance company pay the damage just to name one example. Not to mention that damage for normal electronics and store bought items are also not insured since if it was your own mistake. Binnoculars of certain brands are some of the exceptions to the rule with their truly insane warranty rules, They have allot of trust in their items considering you have a life time warranty not to mention that even own mistakes no matter how crazy the situation are fully insured :o |

I care enough to where I won't blow most of my spending money on a single game, but if the game is a MUST have for me I'll pony up cash. Mostly not an issue since I find really good deals on the stuff I buy. Maximum I will spend on a single game is $50. If it's above that it either better be a screaming deal/one great game or it's not worth it for me. |
