If you look in the buy/sell/trade section you can see I tried selling a copy of space cobra on sega cd.
Well within two months of selling it , its featured on the last episode of game chasers. That was my waterlogged copy that came from the 2nd pickups video in my sig.
The sucker that bought it took a loss. Good for them dirty resellers.
Collectors and resellers are two different animals. If you can't recognize the difference, you're just adding to the problem.
So what's the problem? You sold it and got what you wanted.
So, what's your point? Are you making a new thread just to talk about your distaste of the Game Chasers or are you just boasting for making a sale?Quote:

Just because the transaction was legit does not mean the industry isn't suffering from artificial inflation from practices like this.
And to the point I never had any gripe with the sale it was to point out the current market of video games.
The guy got less money then I did and he's taking a loss so I'm happy with that.
Who's practices? Yours?Quote:

I swear you same posters make comments like omg SNES games are through the roof on prices what could it be... It was the weather influencing the prices.
I'm no longer buying games except for educational software like Bimoji Training or stuff like visual novels to exercise my foreign language/reading and such.
However, I've heard the prices for CIB Genesis have gone up a bit. I got a few left, so we'll see how this pans out.
Dude. What are you talking about?Quote:

I'm not clear on the problem either - this isn't anything unique to video games but rather hobbies that just happen to be popular (and in that instance profitable) at the moment.Quote:

And what the hell is game chasers?

I think he's upset that he sold the game on the forums here (presumably) to a collector, possibly for a discounted price, and now it's showing up on Game Chasers, where it looks like it ended up in a game store, marked up considerably from what he sold it for (or maybe not, who knows).Quote:

I'm not mad or upset of the amount I got. I just find it extremely ironic to see my exact manual waterlogged copy on a episode of game chasers. A FYI I made more money on it then passing hands.
At least I know Billy owns it now. I still have the video on my channel when I came in possession of it in a Sega lot pickups.
You can blame them for how they started thier videos way back American pickers style. Well I started chasing games. So in Theory Billy started a vicious cycle and that copy of space cobra came back and bit him in the ads.
The smart one was Alphaomega sin he said the copy was waterlogged to hell. I can't believe all those famous YouTubers see my game and that I can trace it due to rarity and the damage to that is one in a million same copy on my YouTube.
