I have spent over $15K on buying retro games as an investment. Does this happen in your country?

>buying games as an investment

do you even play them or do you just let them sit there like a retard

>as an investment

ah yes

you are cancer

Yeah that's what I said

I don't like to touch them because I buy mint condition games and I don't want to degrade their condition. They're in protective sleeves and go on my display shelves.

I use flash carts or burn cds to play games on my consoles.

have you sold any then? i hope you get some return on the investment if you're gonna drive up the market value hard

Why? People value old games. They're essentially historical artifacts that have tons of value. That's just how it is

you're late to a speculative bubble and it'll go as well as it did for coin collecting

p.s same dude behind both

I've sold some to my friends. But honestly I find it hard to sell most of my games because I love them. I usually play a game on my flashcart and then fall in love with it. Then I feel like I need to have the physical copy for my collection. 



I will probably sell far in the future when I get old. Given general inflation and given that these games will become increasingly rare (especially those in mint condition), I'm hoping that the value will keep going up.

I think the sealed/graded retro market is definitely speculative. But the normal cib/open market is not. I'm fighting with other collectors who are genuinely interested in these games. I'm seeing tons of bids and interest in these games. My only fear is that the generation of people who grew up with these games will die and the interest will die with them but I don't expect that to happen for a few decades at least

If you want s good longterm investment buy dividend stocks and read up on compound interest. No matter what, I can almost guarantee you will end up with more money

please tell me this is a larp why would you waste your money on something like this

because he looks like this

I have considered that. The only issue is that you get taxed to hell on dividends. I do have a long term retirement fund that I don't touch and I have some money in stocks as well but I wanted a physical investment that is uncorrelated with stocks.

Because I love retro games, because I want to display them on my shelves, because they have genuine interest from many fans and collectors, and because I want something physical to put part of my money in

Don't be a hater
