Maybe you go out once a month to a nice restaurant, maybe you party every weekend, maybe you go on vacation with your family once a year and sit on a beach. Lots of hobbies can be expensive, skiing/snowboarding, golf, biking, motocross, etc.<br /><br />Hopefully most will see my point by now, not only did this guy make a smart investment, but he achieved something most gamers and collectors can only dream of. And instead of drinking it away, putting it up his nose or in his lungs, he decided to purchase something he's passionate about. <br /><br />It will never decrease in value, not only that but unlike partying or going on vacation, it's a physical object that he owns. Maybe he will decide to pass it on to his kid when the time is right. <br /><br />Anyone who says he has no right to buy it is a moron and a hypocrite, that's it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-28390371048035264372015-03-04T00:04:59.057-07:002015-03-04T00:04:59.057-07:00Interesting read for all 287 post..........

I must say this, December 31,2014 a confirmed sale took place for 26,677.00....... simple math states that's a 9,177 gain in appox 5 years or 52% increase in the investment. Call me stupid but I think that's damn good. I don't know why some people would complain about another person's investment but I guess that's the glass house view...... not your lost and not your gain......

The price is not "real" because the high bidder has backed out.

You p...The game collecting world is back ass words. You pay more money for some of the worst games out there just because they are rare. You can't compare it to sports cards because by doing that you are saying the worst sports players cards is worth my than a hall of fame players cards. So i could make a sports card of with you on the card. Only make a few so it's rare and it will sell for big $$$. Lol i don't think so. You pay big $$$ for three of the worst games made that are cut up and no event full games. Lol. The only reason people like the first mario brothers is because it came with just about ever system sold in the U.S so they played it. Radracer when you play it for the first time you think cool game but after about an hour. It's clear its an atari pole position game with better graphic with levels that are pretty much the same from first to last boring. Tetis sucks the only reason it was big was because of game boy and you bought then for big $$$ come on think about it lol. I tell you what if you are so despite for those game sent me $$$ and i will sent you a website where you can play all three of the full games or i will mail you the three games. I now i now how it works the only reason why it is worth money is because idiots will pay money. Here is the big problem with the value the next generation is going to just laugh at those game prices so the value is going to drop to almost nothing. Its already starting when my son was 9 years old he did event know what nintendo was till i told him. Then he ask me to buy him a nintendo so i did. He started playing it and just laugh about how bad it is to today system. About a day late he was done with it and it still sits in the bottom of the closest. Lol That is another reason you can compare it to sports cards. There will always be sports generation that love the history of sports to keep the value. Event better point if you pick games like that. I would hate to see what kind dogs in women world you have picked up. So it means the woman you put your money on most be the holy Grail of dogs. Lol god dame with this speech i could be the president, I doubt it though because 1) i am not black 2) i am a United States citizens 3) i don't rig votes to win. I how this helps you make better choices in life. First choice i would do if i were you is leave the gate open so your dog woman will get out an run off or just drop it off on a side road miles away better yet go to the vet an have her put down then you know she want comeback but what do i know. I would never put myself in that situation.
