Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:I say “Poppycock”!
You’re full of shit. You’re collection defines you as a high end collector. I’m going to generalize here and suggest that a $500+ hit in resale value for you is negligible. And good for You! But don’t try and shop your high falutin, cavalier 1% bullshit here. Most of us expect a superior product for our hard earned cash, and the hobby has consistently demonstrated that for NORMAL games with NORMAL wear and tear, we can expect decent returns on resale
If the “new” normal is damaged product, than the game has surely changed. And people should behave differently. Those that can’t afford $1,000 hits like a mosquito bite.
You’re opinion smacks of nouveau, bourgeois bullshit. Or old money bullshit, which is worse, because it means you didn’t do shit to deserve it.
Prove otherwise and we can discuss this rationally.
Poppycock’s post was off target, but your analysis of his flawed perspective relating to “old money” is equally flawed.
Anyone that doesn’t see the increase in NIB issues is putting their head in the sand. Period...has nothing to do with how much money they do or don’t have.
NOB like this game should be considered an advantage over NIB!
GLWTS!
