At the same time, he just bought an NES lot with the primary intent to resell it on ebay, paid for his PinBot by selling high-ticket games, and just posted in the Import Mania forum about how a "jackass from the UK" tried to pass him off a bootleg Alien Hominid for GBA and he complained and got it for free.

So, it's either hyperbole to get people talking, or it's really bad hypocrisy. I prefer to hope it's exaggeration.
We have a winner...hyperbole and exaggeration. As far as that NES lot goes, I kept what I wanted and sold the rest, and while no excuse I priced them to move lower on there and everything but 2 of the games are gone at this point. I just wish that z-bag I always wanted with that lot wasn't ruined as I intended that as the big keeper in it. My Pinbot as well as this laptop and tablets I've bought were as you said, bought off expensive and not so expensive games, but they weren't bought online or off as flip fodder. I've been slicing my game collection for years now. I've fairly well bottomed out without just wanting to get rid of a console or handheld all together at this rate so anything I sell anymore now will be stuff I tire of or like the NES lot where I buy to keep some, sell some to get my money back primarily. Sure it could look like hypocrisy I get that, but what's the alternative? Sell everything with a $5-10Bin on ebay so a reseller could then cash in on it? I'd rather make something on it, but enough that flipping it isn't enticing to others.

Funny how this all derailed the whole N64 game story I found eh? I've wondered for years why no one has bothered with it other than like the few known NESWorld covered years ago (Mario 64, Pilotwings and Wave Race I believe.) Perhaps it's just not be a matter of not knowing but being too expensive until now?
