Sadly it only lists NTSC games

I already knew that Dinopark Tycoon and Lucienne's Quest were very rare but I didnt know how rare the others were.

-Fortunately I do have steady income,but always have my prioritys straight.I have a music studio that ran me 4G+ so now my fun money goes towards my gaming hobby, however my music is fun but not a hobby more or less a living.grimm wrote:Was the Lucienne's Quest loose in jewelcase only, or with manual, or even the box? Personally i have too many systems i collect playworthy games for, so i cant spend even $30 per game for 90 games! I dont even have 90 games for the 3DO, and ive been collecting, although not rabidly, since 96 or so.. I tend to only collect games im actually gonna play through, and hardware. There are lots of missing games for the 3DO in my collection. maybe ill get them one day.
-The LQ has everything but the long box,I near completed most of my other systems collections.I now stick to 20 games per system,give or take.Except for the 3DO because i want to write guides/info for the system so Im going with as much as I can find/afford,and I actually do play everyone of them!
-Also $30 & under is used loosely,many many games have cost me $10 or less with few $30 or higher.
So yeah, your collection so far is pretty impressive to me, given the timeframe you have given.
-Thanks.![]()
It is a good policy to have a roof of what you are willing to pay for a game, and to be patient. $125 depends on the system etc for me.. I am unlikely to pay that amount for a snes, sega or jaguar game for example, but i have (Chrono trigger for example). But if i find a good deal on a neo geo aes title, and i have enough to spare, ill go higher. For obvious reasons. Of course, im talking about boxed games, as complete as possible, in very good to near mint condition.
-Im same way but sometimes its hard to resist.![]()
I have other pricey hobbies like cycling (6 bikes, all but one fairly expensive) and airsoft which, airsoft having cost me $4-500 per rifle on average, i have 5 at the moment. The bikes have accumulated over the past 15 years, airsoft the past 2-3. Being as im often unemployed for medical reasons, i never have much to spend on anything. Otherwise i mightve gotten 90 games in a few months tooHaving said that, i would love to be working more regularly.. It makes the days shorter, and you have less economical worries. Maybe one day.
Sure!Dreygor wrote:I would be interested just as a reference. Could you also list the condition. IE with box, just CD .. blah blah
I'm going to vote no. A noob who just bought ninety games in ninety days is the last person to consult for prices. I don't know whats dumber: that you blew so much money or that you kept track of how much you paid for everything. You sound like an investor, not a gamer.TEKTORO wrote: -I cant wait to share my guides with everyone,I'm doing a hands on approach with very little influence from other crtics.They should provide an unbiased,untainted resource for you guys and I'm sure there will be a few games I'm not keeping so they will end up being for grabs.
EDIT:Oh yea so does anyone wish for me to plop down my spread sheet of recent 3do purchases?

1) You don't actually know anything, you just bought a bunch of games for whatever the cheapest price happened to be on that particular day. Three months of...uh, "experience"... is far too short a time frame to even out any anomalies.
2) The going rate for 3DO games on evilbay/amazon/half/estarland/the Goat Store/etc. is abundantly clear to anyone willing to conduct a few searches. No need to post it here, but thank you, Captain Obvious.
3) Anyone who's grown up with an older console will agree that prices on evilbay are insane. New gamers need a sense of history to put the current insanity in perspective, not a snapshot of what some Johnny-come-lately or impulsive Joe Retro-Gamer paid three weeks ago.
4) The more prices are codified, the fewer good deals will be found. Sure, a couple of impatient noobs might get themselves ripped off without the benefit of your divine omniscience, but price guides are a convention of collectors and speculators, not gamers, and they ultimately do more harm than good.
You do have a point. The prices on eBay are no measure. What people ask, is not necessarily what people pay.vestcoat wrote:TEKTORO - I'm sorry for what I said. You don't deserve my assumptions and judgements and I regret the names I called you.
I strongly believe that price guides do more harm than good. Even if they did benefit gamers, several years of analysis would be needed to paint any kind of accurate picture.
Community projects don't work. Trust me on this.Dreygor wrote:As I pointed out in my first post. Such a guide already exists so I guess the damage is done. At this point maybe we as a community should conduct damage control and figure out what is right and wrong (or more accurate).
We could use his spreadsheet as a starting point to include those individuals that have been on the scene since the beginning like 3DO Kid, Bitrate and the rest of the gang.
It wouldnt just be his input it would be all of our colective knowledge built apon what he started.
I think several people here can relate to the obsessive nature of it, myself included. I have no doubt someone would find it utterly disgusting how many games I have acquired these last three years since I have gotten back into console gaming. A lot of it is simply because I get obsessive and don't realize to stop myself until I've already gone way too far with it.TEKTORO wrote:So what if I bought/buy alot of games,I can do that.Not only that Im a 30 year old man who knows how to enjoy my life (family,work,etc) and when I chose to do something I dont half fast it (I get obsessive maybe).
