Thanks, but he knew what they were worth.  He just wanted the $100 to finish paying off an engaugement ring for his girlfriend before he was to be deployed overseas.  He said it was more important the games.  I didn't argue, and wished him the best.

Went pawn shopping Friday.  Picked up several Playstation and Saturn titles.

PSX
Rayman (Greatest Hits)
Brave Fencer Musashi (Greatest Hits)
Suikoden II
Azure Dreams
Xenogears (Greatest Hits)
Tales of Destiny

Saturn
Shining the Holy Ark
Shining Force III
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Dragon Force

All complete. The Saturn cases have seen better days, but I got them all for $100 because som kid was trying to pawn them off for christmas cash.  I asked how much he wanted for them he said $100. I jumped on it.

Think about it like this.  Final Fantasy III and Chrono Trigger retail was $99.95 and $89.95 respectivly.  So it's definatly cheaper now days.  I still complain about the prices though.

Why Do I collect.  It's mainly for nostalgia.  I grew up with the them, and have been very fond of video games all my life.  However there were also alot of games and systems I never got a chance to have a go at.  I realize that alot of the games I really want to play is available on XBL, PSN, or the Wii.  For me though there is nothing that takes you back better than firing that original system up, grabbing a controller and just going nuts.

Another reason is that alot of my friends are of the newer gaming generation.  They really have no concept of anything before the Xbox/PS2 time.  So it's always a sight to see them gaze in wonder at it, and realize that great games have been around forever.
