[digitalpress]

JoyStik is one of the most sought-after magazines of that first wave of gaming mags but WOW... $100.

And check out the other ones. Some of them went for over $55 and the rest for $26. I'm gonna be rich some day

I'd like to have them, but those prices are just ridiculous. Are these really that rare?

I think that's a fluke. Heck I just bought a minty copy of that particular mag for about 7 bucks not more than 6 months ago. But that was a bulk buy of about 5 of them.

The one magazine I don't have 50 issues of.....

Why is that mag so expensive? Do you think i should hold on my first issues of EGM? I wonder if they will go for prices like that in the near future!

Good question. I always wonder if there's another "undercurrent" of game collectors out there who think they know better. I can say that this is the most rare of the JoyStik series, though it shouldn't be - it's smack in the middle of two other regular issues. Still, I haven't seen this one before and I'm sure it's quite rare. But... it's a "quite rare" MAGAZINE. Sorry, but $100?

It's moments like these that I cash out of certain things. Like when I found out that Bonk 3 CD was selling for $500. Bam. Went right to my collection, pulled it out, eBayed it. That's where your collecting earns you something that you can use for buying MORE games for future enjoyment

Thats the greatest thing about collecting. IF you buy the right games, those will always raise and raise its price...

I guess.. if you're looking to sell. Personally I just go the old "own one copy of a game" route. It gets to be too much of a hassle with too many :P *sigh*

Hmmmm... Come to think of it.. I don't think I've ever sold anything in my life!
