    Default Show your rare stuff - see what others think

    Hmm.. for some reason I had to re-register here. Anyways, here's a little project that I've had in my mind for a while :

    http://www.pelikonepeijoonit.net/ratemyrare/

    You can upload a picture and a small description of the rarest items in your collection and find out what other visitors think of them. Kinda like Hot or Not or Rate my Kitten, but for game collectors.

    I just got the site working, but it might need some refining still.. Let me know what you think and take part. Thanks.

    Looks like it does need some refining. Link doesn't even work for me.

    manu_pkp-- there are backslashes appearing before apostrophes for some reason.

    I like how it's focused on single items, rather than tacky rooms filled to the brim with unidentifiable gamer paraphenalia ;-)
    Just a suggestion-- keep more pics (like 50 or more) on the front page.

    Thanks for the ideas, changed the front page to show more items + top-5 rated.

    I don't know about posting lists of only the rarest stuff I own....isn't that sort of asking for trouble?

    I like the idea! I tried to upload a file, though, but I got an error message:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8192 bytes) in /usr/home/asiakkaat/p/pelikonepeijoonit.net/public_html/ratemyrare/include/picmgmt.inc.php on line 209

    The file size was around 400kb.

    Ah, you're the one who started his own album .. i might have disabled that at some point. Try uploading the picture in the main album 'Rate my rare'. If that doesn't work, i'll try enabling user albums again.

    I tried to upload it in the main album, didn't work. In a matter of fact, I tried uploading it when I wasn't logged in under my username there, so I think it has little to do with the user album. I'll change the file size and try again later on...I'll let you know if it works then.

    I tried again and it worked! Awesome! I accidentically used the wrong pic for one of the items, though, could you delete it for me:

    Sorry about that

    WTF? Someone posted a sealed copy for FF X on there? What's so rare about a $10 game?

    that was me. it's non-gh which is pretty hard to find these days. Of course, since joining this site yesterday and reading through some stuff, I realize that my concept of "rare" is a little off, heh.

    The scary part is that it was rating higher than my X'eye, Melty Blood discs and Gitaroo Man for a while. now they are all getting equally slammed.

    Guitaroo Man?

    Anyhow, I added something unusual. Perhaps I'll post a picture of it running (playing Pathways Into Darkness), if there's any interest.

    Edit: Should probably note that I uploaded a big version to the site (click on the image to resize); view the entry here.

    Atari STacy for $65... damn. That's bad ass, and worth way more than that.
    The handsfree NES controller kills everything else though! Wow... Any chance of getting a pic of the insides? You will be worshipped eternally

    Definetly not "rare" by any means, but I've seen these sell for $100.

    Cool site. I can only imagine what kind of stuff we'll see on there after it has been up for awhile.

    Agreed. I'd love to get one, and I need a ST of some sort, myself, but I wouldn't want to pay what some people will for this machine...damn, got the docs and everything. What a find!
