Off Topic / Re: Has Anyone Stolen One Of Your Packages Lately
« on: June 08, 2020, 09:13:18 am »
I order a ton of stuff online and live in an apartment so most of my packages do not fit in the mailbox. Luckily, every delivery the mailman knocks on the door and notifies me that he has left the package on the floor which lets me pick it up immediately.
In Canada, in the event that nobody is home to receive the package, generally we get a little slip notifying us that the package has been left at a nearby postal office for pickup (I assume this is done in the States too?). This eliminates the possibility of porch pirates jacking your stuff.
For anyone that buys expensive or a high volume of products online I might suggest maybe investing in a front porch cam to record all activity/crimes. Or just large glaring signs saying like "you are being recorded" to scare off thieves.

General / Value Increase of Games Lately
« on: May 22, 2020, 09:31:09 am »
Hey all,
What are your thoughts on the sudden spike in video game prices lately? Is it sustainable or is it because games are transitioning more towards virtual copies now that retro physical games are being chased even more aggressively to collectors. I feel like unlike stocks collecting video games are virtually guaranteed to appreciate in value unless the video game industry decides to re-release physical copies for old games which is extremely improbable (granted this is NOT the case for every single video game, but I'm talking from a big collection standpoint).
Also let's share what are some of your games in your collection that have just shot up in value lately (past timeframe 1-3 months)?
-Some I've noticed are all handheld Pokemon games, GCN games in general including titles like Fire Emblem (GCN), Skies of Arcadia (GCN) just to name some.
