Let's look at the other side of the coin. Is it annoying when people brag about the great deal they found at a flea market or garage sale?
No.

If we can't complain about high prices then we probably shouldn't be able to celebrate low prices either. It's all part of the hobby. If they want to complain, let them complain. Just don't listen. Personally, I really do hate hearing about people's great finds. Why can't it be me!!!!
Yeah, its kind of annoying, esp when no one in your area deals in used games... even the thrift stores never seem to have any around me. I tried calling a few pawn shops and they acted like they never heard of nintendo...

I feel the bitching and moaning is increasing as we see prices rise, some collectors are thinking back to the cheaper prices and resenting the fact they didn't scoop up every deal from the 1990's, it is fun to watch the moaning on these facebooks sites, reminds me of the "back in my day" golden glasses older people sometimes wear.

Well I can't speak for others, but for me when I started from 1995 until 2010/11 things were stupid cheap except for a few stand out rarities that should be at that mark. I don't like it, can't do crap about it, but it is annoying. I had to let loose of most my stuff due to job/money issues a decade ago, so getting it back was fine until a few years back, now it's just infuriating going after the last few things not including manuals, just the games. If that never happened I'd just ignore it or sell the stuff I didn't care about anymore to remove the price issue. I find myself stuck in the middle of getting it and hating it and it just drags my interest down because it's like when I was a kid when the same people and behavior ruined my allowance spending on comics and baseball cards as they got obscene. I have no pity for those complaining who got in to resell or those getting in now knowing how bad it is already.

There sure are a lot of complainers and babies in this hobby of ours.

Awe yeah. So damn true. ]]> "Retro Collectors" hating retro collecting http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=124620 2014-04-13T13:27:47 -05.00 Viper0hr 23
As for people purely bitching about prices, they need to just look past that and realise that the games are not just a price tag that sits on a shelf, but an experience waiting to be had. Unless it's something stupid, like Color A Dinosaur, but I guess that can be considered an experience too! ]]> "Retro Collectors http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=124620 2014-04-13T12:53:39 -05.00 Viper0hr 23 Originally posted by: Space Jockey

This thread sounds a lot like NA. So many people here saying things like, "I'm only gonna pay $200 for Aero Fighters, it's not worth more (or some other lowball amount for a high value game)". Apparently the market says differently. Get used to it or move on, but stop complaining like little whining babies ya know?
Exactly. Friends (casual collecting buddies) called me crazy when I shelled out decent cash for some of the pricier SNES games in 2010 or so, but now some of these same friends are crying foul at where prices went. Sorry bud, you're not going to get my Final Fight Guy for the $40 I paid for it, etc etc. Take your whining elsewhere.
