Well said, banana. It's the tangible reminders of younger and carefree days that drives a lot of us.
It would be interesting to do a study and look at why we game. I'm sure these have been done before, but probably not as much from a gamer's perspective.

Yeah, I think that's a big part of it for sure, but I disagree when people simply chalk things up to nostalgia. I'm not accusing you of doing this Duke, I just think others tend to simplify it and write it off by putting it in that box sometimes. Sure, that is a part of it, but I think as we change socially, economically, mentally, physically, and as our time has to be more parsed out to other responsibilities with age, our gaming/collection habits also change.

nostalgia is a part of it, but i agree it's definitely not all of it. what nostalgia made me buy Sega Saturn, a system i never even knew existed when i was a kid?

techwizard, it's like eating Pringles chips. Once you pop you can't stop.
I think collectors have a more curious mentality than average gamers. We'll learn about a console (ie Sega Saturn in your case) and because we know about the reputation and library of other consoles by that developer we're naturally interested to find out what this system has to offer. You find one good game, then two, then ten. Then you become a collector.

I agree. I never owned a Sega system and had only played a Genesis a handful of times until about 10 years ago. On one hand, that's pretty sad as I have always been into gaming, but on the other hand, it's great having a new libraries of games to discover.

In reference to the .hack score for me:

I'd been looking for part 4 for a while, and the shops where I am like to jack the price up to about 80 bucks, a friend in Texas found a copy for me for 25 bucks. So.... yay?

It seems like it shouldn't be a big deal but I LOVE when the spines of games in a series match.

Finally got through the rest of the show. Great job guys.
Usually when I listen to your show, I wish I could join in the conversation and add my two cents. I really wanted to do that this time, as this is one of my favorite topics in regards to collecting, and seems to be always changing for me.
Anyway great show guys. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on finding part 4! That one took me over a year to find at a decent price.

Great show - and a healthy dialogue on collecting vs. gaming. As our time and responsibilities change, it is like a sliding scale (great note from earlier poster) on how we budget our energy around the hobby.
I am going to side with Bill (despite some serious bullying from Duke
) when it comes to passing on cheap games. I'm at the point where just having something to have it doesn't work - especially with limited playing time. I totally get where Crabby was coming from with the entertainment of even just trying it out, but that time is limited also so then you're balancing THAT with playing games you know you like. This doesn't even take into account the physical space for storing or the time spent on re-selling/post office , etc, should you turnover your collection like that when you dislike something.

Well this as an oldie-but-goodie. I'm glad you enjoyed the show, and I am a bit opinionated at times although I hope it keeps it entertaining. I've made some tidy profits on flips this year due to cheap grabs, so I'm still good with it.

Oh absolutely, like you surmised at the end - there's no wrong way. I should clarify my comment, I was referring to bargain GameStop $5 games that hold that exact value (or less), certainly nothing off about grabbing an undervalued asset for a profitable flip. You do a commendable job with the economics side of collecting on every show there, Duke.
