Having posted this on another thread,I wanted to find out if only I think this way...
Let me tick some people off here.I have been wandering around this site for quite a while now...and I routinely read about people (must be children and older infants)laughing at prices paid for collectibles by buyers.My wife and I (avid gamers for decades)represent the 40 and 50 year old age groups.Age (sprinkled with education and intelligence) will teach anyone that the value of an item is ALWAYS set by the buyer...not the seller...and certainly not by those who sit at the sidelines and lack the finances,insight, and ability to acquire those items.If price alone dictates the value of an item,there will be no retro anything.I have, on occasion,paid too much money for an item;but it saves me hours of lost and wasted time searching.I decided the better value was saving the time.Children think in terms of money...adults understand the meaning of value.Just because Bill Gates can buy and sell your ass for as much as he wants,doesn't make him a fool.Some of the folks are getting in the way of retro-gaming and collecting with thier demeaning attitudes toward buyers.They may be better served by nickelodeon's(sp?) website
