Broke as a Joke Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I have been selling some of my sealed game collection over the past year, and one person I talked to told me they have spent over a quarter of a million on games in 2021. These guys do exist, I just hope for their sake that the ceiling they are chasing doesn't fall out from under them.

Ones that aren’t involved with any of these parties? It might have some effect on my opinion one way or the other. It takes at least two bidders to make these benchmark prices happen. This was my thought a while back, it's not been mentioned to my knowledge Edited August 27, 2021 by ADAMANTIUM Stevemmg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the sales have known buyers and sellers if you chat to the community. A record sale at the time for final fantasy 3 was 50k (since surpassed). I randomly met him playing a card game of all things. Many other buyers revealed themselves in Facebook groups and such. Some sales are a mystery, just like comics. the underbidder of the SM64 is known by some people in collecting circles as well. I’ve been told he got caught up in the moment and is glad he didn’t win. I don’t know who did win. Stevemmg and This is Who We Are 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
