I have no idea how to make this sound nice ok? Anyone wanting an out of date CRT in these days is a luddite, that's not an insult as it is defined as: a person opposed to increased industrialization or new technology. That definitely fits someone being anti-modern TV. And yes I think people who attack counterfeits as an option are greedy and my experience is they do throw fits when that stuff shows up so I just call it as I see it. Anything that'll knock down the inflated price of an original is fine by me when it comes to long dead old games. Just because you don't like a copycat doesn't mean it's time to pull out the daggers.

$5-10 seems fair. That fits what I was told about those retroquest games as far as costs go after buying that size of shipment of parts, the shipping, then buying the equipment needed to flash the data to the games. That's why I didn't feel it was unreasonable. Yes I know in theory they could be had cheaper, like that aliexpress site where some chinese flash mother 3 games and sell them for like 1/2 that or less on there but you never can beat the source. I guess it's how much they wanted to stick him for parts. I know I wouldn't pay that much to get that junk when I could bulk order from that site for less, but whatever.
