    It’s all just totally unsustainable to a consistent NIB guy unless you constantly rotate and sell to use the same dollars over and over which can be exhausting. Endless low ballers and tire kickers. Random people at your house, endless dead end texts and emails and phone calls. OR you happen to be so wealthy that just buying and buying more is an option. This hobby has entered the realm where to continue to buy the newest that come out you are likely spending more annually to buy the things than most of America’s households make in annual gross income. It has become a 1%er hobby. The rest is largely made up of opportunistic flippers that don’t have the income to support the hobby but have the savvy to flip games and learned how to fix them. But then we all just victimize ourselves and each other with the endless price hikes to keep “feeding the beast” and get to a place to afford the new stuff. It is almost an exact mirror to the housing crisis of 10 years ago but in the form of an Non-essential toy. That’s why it’s fatuiging
