Patience can definitely pay off and jumping on the first game won't always be a good idea.JJ Hendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10255138459888881579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-89906105941697177762010-03-22T20:34:34.583-06:002010-03-22T20:34:34.583-06:00I’m a surfer, and there seems to be a parallel her...I’m a surfer, and there seems to be a parallel here. After bobbing around waiting 10+ minutes without a decent wave, we can get a little stir crazy. We finally see the next wave forming in the distance, and, trying like crazy to be the one to catch it, everyone starts to jockey for position. What we often forget is that waves come in sets, and that there are generally two or more waves right behind the one we’re seeing. Generally the following waves are a bit cleaner in shape, thus making for a better ride.<br /><br />It sounds like super rare video game sales work similarly. For whatever reason, we’ve all gotten into the what-if-it’s-the-last-one-on-earth mindset while bidding and, as a result, spent way too much. You’re trending of these sales is a good reminder that more rare games will come. And, as we’ve all experience, there’s probably another copy of better price and quality if we’re just patient.GamesOgrehttp://www.gamesogre.netnoreply@blogger.com
