I did this. Got rid of my entire gaming collection except my homecarts. No regrets. I'd regret selling them though, I dunno there's just something about the neo.I have other gaming shit to purge before I would consider selling any homecarts.
Yep, neo stuff is the only physical games I ownI did this. Got rid of my entire gaming collection except my homecarts. No regrets. I'd regret selling them though, I dunno there's just something about the neo.
TLDR: Don't tell me how to spend my money and I won't tell you how to spend yours.
... Can't believe I'm going to bother entertaining this, but whatever...
So, from the very late 90s thru to about 2004 and I get very heavy into homecart collecting, and was, foolishly, set on getting a complete Japanese AES collection. Then as I realized I was at the point where I was buying games I didn't want to play just to sit on a shelf (some of which were expensive back then, let alone now), I decided to sell up.
I think I was 10 games short of the lot up to the point of the release of Sam Sho V (which I did buy), and there have only ever been 8 offiical AES games I've never owned (at some point).
Couple of years later I bought a cab and an MVS mobo, but didn't enjoy it as much.
After the cab went I got my hands on a Sigma supergun (for pcbs mainly), but MVS still didn't really do it for me, so didn't get very far with that.
Inbetween those I also played Neo on Wii, Xbox 360, PS2... none of which I found particualrly satisfactory.
Eventually, to give into my fondness for SNK I decided to get back into the Neo Geo CD both for gaming and as a hobby - I have a complete CD collection (yes there's plenty of the games I don't play because I don't like them) and lots of official merch and hardware... it is my only real vice.
Still, the thing with Neo CD is, that even as a die hard fan of the system, there are a handful of games that either aren't on it, or the ports are too much of a compromise for me due to hardware limitations.
So, I decided, that if I could get a set of AES games I wanted to play, for reasonable money, then I'd go that way to supplement the CD collection.
Now I have 30 carts, nearly all beat 'em ups, and about three of those games are "high roller" carts - two of which were bought for considerably less than the average going rate, and one slightly under. There's two more games to cross off the list, one of which will run me 4 figures if and when I find it.
I don't condone the high prices some of these games now fetch, I don't see owning them as some kind of badge of status, and I certainly don't condone buying them at any price for them to just sit on a shelf and never get played.
TLDR: Don't tell me how to spend my money and I won't tell you how to spend yours.
are you an actual DJ or are you a DJ that opens a skate and tattoo shop that tears his bicep rotating a monitor?I was really close to selling my AES recently, just a few weeks ago.. I got it out of the loft to post it, played some Last Blade and now IM BACK BABY
(felt bad refunding the person on eBay and apologised but they understood the pain of letting it go. I just couldn’t do it.)
Neither but leaning towards the latter I guess?are you an actual DJ or are you a DJ that opens a skate and tattoo shop that tears his bicep rotating a monitor?
ok, fair enoughNeither but leaning towards the latter I guess?
If you could decide before listing it on eBay and actually selling it that would be great. Only 12yr olds do thatI was really close to selling my AES recently, just a few weeks ago.. I got it out of the loft to post it, played some Last Blade and now IM BACK BABY
