My Gameboy collection opinions wanted...

[GrandAmChandler]

See what we have here is the classic DP n00b.

Step 1. Come in and post "So what do you think of my collection?" (This step is also known as "e-peen".
Step 2. Show off uncommon item(s), brag about purchases.
Step 3. Ask for advice and opinions.
Step 4. Receive honest advice from top collectors in the world (Whether good or bad)
Step 5. Get defensive. Cite other sites for defensive purposes.
Step 6. Get Irate, insult respected members.
Step 7. Get Banned.

We are currently around a 5.5. Keep going, I dare you.

I'm telling you guys, forget about this Gameboy crap... Buy a Bally Astrocade! It's going to be the next big thing! By this time next month, systems are going to be selling for THOUSANDS! I mean, check this thing out:



Isn't that AWESOME??!? With wood grain like that, you know this thing is built to last. When your Gameboy games are all useless and unloved, this thing will have a following like you won't believe. Who needs 4 shades of grey when you can have amazing graphics like this:

I have stated already that I am not trying in any way at all to insult anyone even you. If people are going to say something that I don't agree with then I'm going to respond to it not in a hostile manner unless some one provokes me. Again i will state this as I have in my previous posts, I am not trying to insult anyone at all. But to me it seems that other people doing it is ok if they have been here longer or whatever the case is.

When I asked for opinions on my collection I didn't ask people to judge what I spent on it. I merely mentioned it and people ran with it. That's fine I knew that when I posted it. However its when i started to get insulting remarks and people telling me how to spend my money that I got upset. That's not what the thread was about at all. So if your gonna point fingers at me for that then go ahead. I even tried to get back on track here but Guess we cant have that. Clearly this is not what I wanted to have happen here and certainly didn't want to get banned for stating my opinions. I just dont like it when people start insulting me for spending what I want where I want.

Bottom line all i wanted to know from this thread is....what do you think of my collection??? Good one? or do I need to do work on it? Am I missing a ton of games for it Or am I pretty close to achieving my goal which was stated early on in the thread. That's ALL I WANTED TO KNOW.

If you think that I'VE gotten to that point then I'll let it go because no matter what board I am apart of I do always try my best to abide by the rules and being that you are an admin if you think I'm breaking rules or causing trouble then you have your reasons so I'll leave it at that.

Ze ro: I think my dad has one of those.....I dunno though...It looks really familiar.

What makes your database trump Nintendo Age?

Lol

Think of the kittehs

Epic lol

I just got 22 boxes in the mail and have the games to at least 18 of them not the task is getting the inserts to put inside. I was really glad to get the boxes to beetlejuice lock'n chase and turrican. Still waiting on Pack in time yogi's gold rush tail gator and megalit.

Awesome!

Here are these:
Notice white marks on corners of teal, clearly has been dropped several times. Some of the labeling is peeling/fading, but overall pretty good condition.

How much do you guys think these are worth?

[GameBoyGeek]

OH THOSE THINGS I have'nt seen one of those in ages man. I honestly dont know what they would be worth but if your selling I'd gladly take one off of your hands.

lol, that is so not how it went down, nice story though. Why are you guys so determined to make this guy out to be some kind of bad guy? The bottom line is, several of you have insisted on being negative/rude and he has defended himself.

And in regards to the Nintendo Age comment, I don't use the site, but I've heard it referenced tons of times so I figured it was a reputable value site.

GB signage varies wildly, so its often hard to say. However, those are pretty rad. I'd say $10 each is reasonable, but it wouldn't be hard to imagine them going for more.

*edit* Dang, they're huge! $20 each prob is more accurate.

[dnkykng89]

Can't sell I love 'em. How many CIB's do you have now?

How about $125 before shipping?

[neuropolitique]

Is that what you paid?

[dnkykng89]

Yeah. I don't think I need to ask what you think about that price

edit: $275 for both.

Much appreciated scott.

Yeah dk I would offer but I just dont have the money right now. If I could talk you down id give you 30 each for them.

[neuropolitique]

Wow, I've never seen any Game Boy signage go for prices like that. I think GBC kiosk displays go for that.

I think it's time for me to retire.

... :)

[GameBoyGeek]

I'm not sure off the top of my head, Id say around 75 or so but I'm not sure at the moment. Not as many as I would like i can tell you that much.....and It just hit me that you weren't talking to me. HA! lol

[dnkykng89]

Haha yeah. Wow that's really cool. Keep puttin up pics, you can count on my non-judgemental feedback =]

[GameBoyGeek]

Much appreciated. As of yesterday I have my own website under construction and yeah if anyone wants to call it a bragging website or whatever then ya can go right ahead and do so. I don't care. I also appreciate the feedback its just when people come off as attacking or Pre-Madonna-ish that gets on my nervse and gets my feathers all ruffed up.

This thread is done. Let this be a lesson to all parties involved. You just can't reason with n00bs. Ask for honest opinions, prepare to receive honest answers.
