I should have offered the NES with hook ups to him for the bargain basement price of 1000.00. Now we have non-collectors thinking that NES is worth 12 thousand dollars. The impact I see is that people at garage sales are going to start raising their prices, and it may be more difficult to find good deals.


nearly made me lol. i have a small collection, probably ~75 nes games, nothing valuable, the rarest probably being empire strikes back or trolls on treasure island. The second article is the only one that kinda bothers me because the headline leads people to believe ALL games are a "hidden goldmine" or whatever. I only collect games I really want to play or had when i was a kid and lost since.

i don't think the same kind of people who put a box of NES games with a $5 price tag on them at a garage sale are the same people who read yahoo's game section articles, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

as for the guy was offering $1 for those game. he's not a threat whatsoever. he looks like a fool offering $1 for those games.

I just saw an article there where they apparenly asked "gamers" what their favorite game series was by now, and guess what? Halo in 1st, Call of Duty in 2nd, and- get this- Mario in 6th.

Guess what kind of gamers they asked. *cough*tweenswithxboxes*cough*.

I'm entering high school, and I hate Call of Duty, and play N64 and NES more than my Xbox 360.

Trust me, I'm a sackful of contradictions.

Not necessarily the case. I've been around since the 2600 days and I'm totally burned out on the Nintendo series at this point. I'm not sure where I'd put what, but I will say that once I would have put Zelda above all else and now I couldn't be less interested in it (I've never finished Twilight Princess nor come close to even considering picking up Spirit Tracks)

Just because a poll doesn't echo your sentiments doesn't make it invalid (and yes, I recognize that with respect to my own opinions).
