Maybe try not collecting games that are sought after by every 20-something year old pleb that just bumbled their way into a job with disposable income.
Well I'm 39 now but yeah you got it!

many KLOVers that have given me many good deals, and i have returned the favor many times. KLOV isn't innately good or bad. it is what we make it.![]()
Video games are a huge part of our culture and there will always be interest in the classics. I think the only thing that can hurt prices at this point is a decline in the economy, or full repros built with high standards that are cheaper than the old games. Yes some people will still want the originals but if you could buy a brand new discs of tron environmental from China or India for $1500 would you rather pay $5000 for an old one?
while i would not completely disagree with that statement, i have many KLOVers that have given me many good deals, and i have returned the favor many times.

If we could all just agree to not buy anything arcade game related for a year, prices would plummet.
Who's in?
I don't know, this and other collector's sites were always the place to go for non CL/ebay prices. Now it seems like they are no different. $600 for some Paperboy handlebars WTF?!
I'm ok about the pricing to each their own. What irks me more are folks just scooping up good deals on games they don't even want and storing/hoarding them to markup or use as trade bait. It seems like more and more collectors are just buying for the sake of hoarding and flipping. Leave that stuff for someone that actually wants the game.
I got into the hobby 5 years ago and even in that short time span, I've seen the market dry up significantly. As with anything that was once plentiful and becomes scarce, rabidity follows. But I still ain't paying $850 for Wrestlefest.
almost ditto in terms of when i joined and what i've seen
while i bemoan some of the deals i passed on (like an idiot), i'm very thankful for the few i got when i did
if i was entering the hobby in 2018, i'd probably just do an about-face and walk out the door.
Iggy, you are the undisputed king of multiquote.

That reminds me, you haven't even created a VAPS entry.
Tsk tsk.
i've only been trying to collect for about 2 years and in that time the number of dedicated classics you see listed has plummeted (and there weren't many before). so glad i ran out of room. makes choices a lot easier and the hunt more tolerable lol.

I don't make a profit from friends and as a friend I help my friends in their hobbies..
Yes, I collect arcade machines but I also collect a really pretty good group of friends.
