Was at the VGS here in Chicagoland today. Got smoked by Dan and the rest of the gang in the Battle Loadrunner tournament today.
Thought I would share some pics with ya'll. Prices on on retro stuff continues to amaze me. I doubt there will ever be a crash, but I do think there will be a market 'correction' or some kind of reset for some of these titles. Quite a bit of TG16/PCE stuff for sale...much more than was at the Midwest Gaming Classic.
Anyway here they are:
EDIT: Photobucket problems.
EDIT2: Lets try this again.

Photo bucket is really starting to piss me off. Anyone know a decent free service to host some photos? At this point I'd even be willing to pay a few bucks a month for a decent service.
just sign up for https://imgur.com/
Or use google photos.

I refuse to believe the "ULTRA RARE" price labels are real and not just some prank done for this thread.

Holy shite.
Agreed.
...and it is written in a manner that seems almost "whimsical" if it weren't for the $$$$$.
Oh wow a NES test cart. The control deck one too none the less

I promise you those prices are real. You can see them for yourself at Disc Replay in Downers Grove IL next to the Best Buy.
Who is who in the pics? :p
Oh man those prices it's enough to make me faint :shock: Now i don't feel so bad just settling with reproductions of musha and tatsujin.Really,there's to much demand for retro games currently the market for it needs to die a painful death :P

I don't understand why anyone would go to a convention to buy anything anymore. You can buy from ebay for cheaper prices.
eBay prices don't look so bad now. :-k

Yep. Same with many stores around here, but at least a store typically has some sort of guarantee. With conventions, you're getting 100% fucked, both on prices and on accountability.

Two pics above "holy grail" you can see Dragonmaster Dan (long hair) standing by Chany, and the back of Matthius's head (is he saluting or does he have a headache?) ... didn't recognize anyone else.
Thats def not Matthius lol
These pictures remind me of old computer meet ups/swaps from back in the day.

Ah! But that is Chop5 at the far right!
The dude with the baseball cap and wiry hair? That dude is awesome. He's in a few of the Battle Lode Runner pics, yes? (See chany's pics)

No joke. A friend of mine got a CDX at a convention and it only worked like a handful of times before it stopped functioning for him.
whoa, mighty final fight goes for that much now!? I'm glad I bought mine for $5.

Seems like a good way for shady sellers to move non-working games/consoles...
