I'm going to be thinning out the collection to a more managable number, so I'll bring one or two that haven't sold by then. I'll update here when I decide.

The only ones I'm married to are FH and probably SG and my proto DM. Feel free to ask about any of the other 25! (Some would require more generous offers than others, natch.)

Heck, if some heavy hitters abandon MGC in favor of PAPA, that just improves our chances in the MGC tourneys!

I should just ask Dan, but I wonder if any progress has been made as far as the [county? city?] allowing them to have entry fees and prizes. Or is it not being pursued, accepting the status quo? Is their problem with it based on thinking it's gambling? Do they need Roger Sharpe to do a skill shot for them? Are there no other skill-based contests allowed in the municipality, with entry fees and prizes, such as darts or pool?

(And while I'm here, I want to apologize to those who have contacted me about my vaguely expressed desire earlier to thin out my games. I have not responded to anyone, so if you're picturing them all being wheeled out without even giving you a chance, that ain't happening. I haven't made time yet to contact anyone, and they are all still here! Please sit tight!)

Quoted from badbilly27:

Shadow and DrWho will be in much demand DanQ

Indeed, but those two are on the "probably keep" end of the spectrum, and would need stupid high offers to pry loose!

Also in this category would be BSD, WH2O, Robo War and LAH.

A deal with a TFTC would be highly enticing though!

I was bummed, too, when* I got back on Sunday prepared to leave with HHeat but it was gone.

$50 is just insulting, ha ha. Wasn't it like $600 though? No $6000 game is 10 times as fun...

* Edit, oops.

Quoted from racer_x:

The "Oldtimers" is kicking in...I thought it'd been $900 down to $750, but it might have been $750 down to $600. Regardless, I called the guy Sunday after I saw the price drop and had just missed it.
He who hesitates...

More likely on my end. I probably planned to offer that or something, seeing as it was sitting and not moving, everyone hates it and all Gotts of that era, blah blah. The only thing that was stopping me was, it is indeed garish. But with all my other pins I could have handled it. One sure wouldn't want it in a small collection for long! I wonder if anyone has re-themed it, a candidate if ever there was one. I'm pretty sure it has begun to trend upward like everything else. Crazy prices have caused many to reconsider these once-scorned ugly ducklings, as has been pointed out many times.

No $7500 game is ten times as fun, either!

Quoted from racer_x:

To be fair, it's been done before.

Cool, but not much of a stretch! Just a TL? Or did they change sounds and/or rules?

Quoted from lordloss:

earthbound is dirt common though.

Jeez, you scared me! I guess you're talking about the repro?

Seeing as how I have one of these:

Quoted from lordloss:

Talking about loose carts, game itself is uncommon at best loose.

Rarityguide.com lists it as highly collectible, three levels above uncommon. They also price it as the 5th highest value loose snes cart at $125. So I still don't see where you're coming from.

Sorry if I'm taking this personally, I bought mine from my elderly mother believe it or not, who passed recently. She was into rpgs until her vision went to hell.
