People who own more than one copy of super rare games really blow

thirdkind · Oct 25, 2001

I was cruising the selling forum, and noticed the Metal Slug 1 topic (who wouldn't notice it?). It was mentioned that one of the posters already has a copy of this game, yet he was trying to get another.

General question to all of the hardcore collectors out there who own multiple copies of games: if you already have a copy of a rare game, why are you making it that much more difficult (and expensive) for the rest of us to find one? Isn't one enough? There are enough copies of MS1 sitting in plastic bags behind glass already; taking another one off the market for your collection deprives others of the opportunity to own and play the game. You're also indirectly contributing to conversions, since people are more likely to convert a game that's tough to find as a genuine home cart.

I just don't understand why people would hoarde games. There's no practical reason to own more than one copy.

I saw the post you are refering to. An, to answer you, the reason NSX wants to buy metal slug 1 again, is because he has money, and he can. Thats really all there is to it.

rarehero · Oct 25, 2001

hahahah...
eh.
who the fuk cares.
i plan on finding and buying as many
quiz kof carts i can find.
i also have this really cool idea of
having all my games burned with me when i die.
how do you like that?
:B
i say if you have the money go for it.
if you dont like people hoarding games like
metal slug then do what people with half a brain do.
get an mvs
get a cd player.
get converter
get an ultracade :P
its not your money.
dont lose any sleep over it....

It's a great idea. Can I be the one to set you on fire?

I've discussed this issue with Wing Zero not long ago and someone posts this topic.

Well......it's a tough question.
If someone has money, then he/she can get whatever he/she wants.

But......
NSX-T is a collector. He regards Neo game as an investment. He told me he has 10 KOF2K carts coz he wants to make $$. Plus he has all Metal Slug AES versions........maybe he has complete Neo library........

Once he gets so many Metal Slug carts......then he'll ask more $$.......
People are bitching .......but the funny thing is, if you really want to get Metal Slug AES (and you get the money), then you'll PM him even though you bitch at him on the forum........

I just feel bad............
I don't mind people to collect game, but most of time NSX-T is bluffing too much.....

Well..........what can we do? Nothing....
Just complain and waste time in here

Maybe NSX-T is right.......this is just internet......don't take too serious

I just wish I have enough spare $$ one day so I can get Metal slug AES, Ninja Master and other games .............

BTW, I'll just like what my son has done.....buy all the Shaq Fu (both Gen and SNES versions)........

If anyone wants to get this game, PM me......
My asking price will be $2000.

I want your US Shaq Fu, $2000 shipped......

To me, it's no different than dealers who went to Toys R Us and Wal-Mart during the Star Wars re-release, bought all of the rare figures off the shelves, then went to conventions and sold them for three times as much. It all boils down to enthusiasts taking it in the ass so someone else can make a few dollars.

I understand that rare games are going to be expensive and tough to find. That's what qualifies them as rare <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> However, when people hoarde multiple copies in order to sell them off later, that's just greed. It creates an artificial shortage that drives up the price. I would never knowingly buy a game from someone who practiced this type of reselling, no matter how badly I wanted the cart. I'd pay an honest seller more just to know that I didn't support a greedy dealer.

But I didn't mean to single out NSX. It's not meant to be a personal attack. Sorry if it seems that way.

He beats NSX-T big time <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

I'm still proud of my son coz he knows how to jackup the price <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Those are your words. Is this a case of do as you say, not as you do?

Relax slapass.

NSX-T · Oct 26, 2001

This thread belongs in the Warroom, and I will move it to the warroom.

Bluff? <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> You have seen some of my pics already, so do I have a NG collection(?), BIG GUY. It is not me who's driving the games up. The rare games that I buy are for self satisfaction, not for sale, and will stay with me. It is you who keep constantly hold this game on a pedestal, and wish for it. I have helped 2 people in-here in obtaning the game, and what have you done, stupidass. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> It is alway you who brings it up for debate, BIG GUY. Have fun calling my bluff <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">, stupidass. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

EDIT: Why is your panties in a bunch? Have everybody notice LiquidSnake's constant whining in this forum too? Just an observation BIG GUY, and don't take it tooo seriously. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Finally my son speaks up...........

I'll use your line "it's internet, don't take too serious"
So why you always say I'm "whinning"? You take "too serious". Don't tell me you're playing around coz it doesnt' seem like <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

You help someone else out? I didn't see you help Homeslice out when he tried to score a copy of KOF2K......it means you only "help" rich peoplel out

And stop harrass me by keep saying "Shawn is gonna do something about me" and other shit, SMALL GUY?

This is the words of wisdom from your dad:
"Never stop fighting until fight stops"

Keep in mind........ <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

"....this is internet.....don't take too seriuos" is what NSX-T always says.

Those aren't my words. I dare not to take any credit <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Anyway, I'll sell my Shaq Fu US. $2000 shipped

He did not have the fund to buy the game, and yes, I only cater to collectors( you knew that already) Now LS stop your whining, BIG GUY.

EDIT: BTW maybe I already have the KE US, and want another one <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">, stupidass. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Hey NSX-T, your broken English taunts made me think I was in the middle of a game of Samurai Shodown for a minute.

I have no doubt you'd like to move this to the warroom, as then it could degenerate into mindless insults instead of a debate over the retardation behind having multiple copies of the same rare game. And I also have no doubt that in an exchange of mindless insults, you would be the one to win, being mindless and all. I'd like to stick to the subject at hand, however.

Why do you feel the need to hoarde multiple copies of the same game? For your "self satisfaction," i.e., greed?

So far I have helped 2 people in-here in obtaning the game, and what have you done, stupidass.

Big fucking deal. As someone mentioned in the other topic, wave some money around, and copies of rare games magically appear. How exactly have you "helped?"

Liquid, I'll take that copy of Shaq Fu, provided it's Super Minty Fresh <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Keep looking, eventually you will find the Metal Slug for le$$...

I'm getting one from someone on these boards WAY cheaper than what NSX is asking.

Have you played Sunset Riders' arcade?

"Bury me with my Slug...." (ding ding ding)

Why is it so hard to realize:

Metal Slug AES = $1200+
Metal Slug MVS = $60
Phantom 1 converter = $275

Laughing your ass off at someone who paid $1200+ for a game you either paid $335 for or you download off the net for free: Priceless

This topic is essentially a creative manifestation of the old "Collectors vs Gamers" issue that's been debated for many years in the Neo-Geo scene. Since arguing about this is a zero sum game, I'll just kick back and enjoy the resultant flames. <IMG SRC="smilies/smirk.gif" border="0">
