No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

Quote from: guest on 07/25/2014, 12:39 PMYou're doing it wrong if you're paying anywhere near 15% every transaction,  but that doesn't matter.  The argument was that Magical Chase is a fantastic investment unmatched by traditional investment vehicles, which I disproved.
Well we can agree upon that point

Bottom line............................Video games are not investment to anyone but the creators, publishers etc..... Yes while the market has made a steady climb and in some cases huge spikes it's nothing like making real investments in the stocks of companies, or better yet do like your mother and father should have told you...invest in yourself :-) I know cheezy pep talk for self worth but probably more true than not. Yes I was one of the non advice followers of the parental units so take it from me kids investing in yourself is the best thing you can do, only you can change the world, only you can control your future (with a turbo pad) only you can save the baby seals from being clubbed, only you can prevent forest fires and most of all only you can stop Nulltard from breaking into your house and stealing your Obey, having sex with your hot sister (if ya have one) if not your hot brother.

I still love you Nully :-)

Quote from: guest on 07/25/2014, 10:34 AMWhy are you coming at this from a sellers perspective of "how much could I hope to sell these for"?  OP wants to buy at a good price, not maximize the seller's profits.

As for investments, Berkshire Hathaway stock has hit 13.xx% over the same time period and 19.7% annualized return since '64.  And that's a real investment that can't easily be stolen or lost in a flood/fire/storm, and you won't lose 10-15% of its value in fees when you sell it.
I was under the impression the original post in this thread was an attempt at sell games. Did I misinterpret that? Lol

The stockmarket doesn't have my confidence. I know people who work in the market and they were going nuts when the market hit 10000. Every indication I've been given is that it is a bubble very much like the housing market was ten years ago. Unfortunately, just waiting to burst and ruin lives.

I posted, and was in position as a potential buyer. I ended up walking away as the seller wanted too much. I now see he has the bundle posted on eBay. With the help of some veteran folks here, and my new Turbo Express I was proud of my ability to walk away, and not overpay.

OP wanted to know what price would justify buying the lot.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

My mistake. I concede to the necromancer, and to Nulltard's sibbling rape.

elderbroom, good on you. Nothing like the feeling of being ripped off. what was he asking, if I may ask?

He wanted $175 USD , and said he would be coming to Toronto area in a couple weeks so could arrange a pickup.  It would have been an hour drive for me, but would have eliminated shipping. I was only willing to go as high as $100 .. we were too far apart, so I thanked him for his time and walked away.

Appears he bundled a loose console in with it since, and listed in on eBay.  Currently going for $202.50 USD with 5 bids, and 4 days left.

I'm glad I walked away, as it turns out my PCE GT's video just zonked. So going to use some available funds to get turbokon to re-cap it. Better use of my cash  :D
