[@zacharypierce2970]

For playing TG-CD games and Sega CD games, have you considered getting a Polymega? It's emulation based, but you can use real discs which makes it appealing for physical collectors. It also, iirc, allows you to dump the game to the system's memory so that you don't have to worry about risking scratching any of those super rare items.

[@zacharypierce2970]

Oh I saw that you got the Analogue Duo. Lmao, should've waited til the end!

Interesting theory. 🤔 Who are the resellers you are referring to with this comment?

[@BanditsBest686]

​@@JRPGLifeones who lie about "I need this for my collection" to get a discount then resell the game or item they say the needed for their collection immediately. Say I meet you at a show and said bro I really want XYZ rpg game i grew up as a kid playing it. You give me a severe discount, then within 48 hours I list the game on ebay for resale. behavior like that

[@JRPGLife]

Thankfully, we haven't met anyone like that. 🙂

[@erikjohanson3929]

Always nice to see people pick up their Grails. Got really lucky myself the 11th with just JRPGs. Found myself a GBA with all the Square Enix games released in the west for the console + both Golden Sun games, I found this in the add section of the local News-site. All the games were complete in box and converted from SEK to USD, I only had to shell out 138USD for everything. The people selling knew it was worth a helluva lot more, but they were content to let the games go cheaply to someone who showed their enjoyment of JRPGs, so I got really lucky.

[@JRPGLife]

That's always nice to see 😀

[@RetrocartCollector]
