I could try making the GB/GBC thread.

I know how that is. I'm currently buying games for the GameCube and SNES, plus picked up xenoblade and metroid prime trilogy at GameStop for $60 each. Stimulating that economy.

Wait so should I include GBA games too?
Yes. I think there are plenty of gems on the GBA that people should look for.

Cool, I'll add a few I know of and then add in what you send me!
I dunno. I would probably not buy something from Russia. Same thing with Hong Kong. I will NEVER buy anything from Hong Kong.
Well there is this Gameboy appreciation thread. It was active until a week ago.

I forgot about that thread. I just realized I posted in it not too long ago
I think we need more of a collector-specific thread.

yeah just looking. maybe a more collector specific in terms of rarity and whats containing value?
Yes. We also have the SNES Nostalgia thread, and probably other SNES threads as well. But this is specifically for discussing collecting, and we don't really have many such threads yet.
I'll call dibs on the NES thread then btw!
But I'll wait a while with that one until the GB one has been out for a while so we don't cannibalize each other.

Pretty much. I missed a ton of GB/GBC gems so it would be nice to see a list of must haves and not necessarily only the rare games.

Working on it, people can send me more suggestions for recommended games once I put the thread up!

I have mint FFIV, V and VI GBA games in boxes barely touched.
I had no idea they'd be collectable, I just loved the games.

I remember back in the day before Sunsoft (I think) rereleased Final Fantasy Legend 1-3 those games had huge trade in values at Funcoland. I ended up swapping FF Legend 1-3, Dragon Warrior 3, and FF Adventure for a new PS1 and Ogre Battle. That was a trade of a lifetime.

Don't forget Resident Evil for the GBC

Shouldn't you have checked to make sure it did beforehand?
It's a thoroughly modern television I just... you know... figured that... it has 4 HDMI ports, man, 4 of them! Why not one lousy S-video input?

Because, unfortunately, a lot of new HDTVs started to get rid of S-Video, for some reason. I guess they figured that not a whole lot of people used them, so they could save a bit by removing it. Heh.

I paid good money for this Dynex!

Wasn't that part of a government mandate away from analog, or something?

These TVs usually still have composite, though, so that doesn't make much sense. Component is analog, too, and I think that's still around.
Yes it's the same with SCART here in Europe. Some newer HDTVs, especially cheaper ones, doesn't have that anymore. It makes me worried about the future.
I also hope that as CRTs become increasingly rare, some manufacturer realizes that there is a small enthusiast market for CRTs and starts making them again.

If you live near a Disc Replay by any chance, I just got an absolutely perfect looking copy from them yesterday for $50. Cheapest BIN on ebay right now is $70.

Yeah it has like everything but S-Video... wonder if my older tv downstairs has s-video
Yeah my new giant HDTV doesn't have a S-Video ability. Just 3 HDMI, 1 USB, 1 attena (that is prob never going away), and 1 component slot(/composite as well obviously).
Both my smaller HDTV (which is connected to my Saturn) and smaller older TV upstairs still has the S-Video slot. I should consider moving my SNES up there (or better yet, just get a 2nd SNES) and get a S-Video for it.

Here's a fun video for those who like eBay auctions - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HhQHAvdcBk

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Picked up Super Godzilla earlier today for $10, also got DKC from amazon for $20.

Haha that video was awesome. Too bad none of those games were very interesting. Those boxes were great though.
I love that rush when I bid on a game with less than 10 seconds left. I know there are programs that do it automatically, but I feel that bidding is the most fun.
Haven't posted my collection yet, so here goes.
RARE GAMES:
CHILDHOOD GAMES:
SHOOTERS (RANKED FROM BEST TO WORST)
And the Rest
My rarest game, by far, is Fun N Games. A crappy game that isn't worth much, despite being a lot rarer than Earthbound. I ran a mile to go back to the seller once I realized what it was and that $2 was a good price.

Bought it on a whim from eBay for $20. I was in Houston for work in 2011 and was bored not being near friends or swap meets.
That was also when I got earthbound, metal warriors and a slew of other games from eBay. I doubled my collection.
I sorta messed it up, I meant vertically, left to right, but lost interest after the first three.
The proper ranking is:
Essential
Space Megaforce
Axelay
UN Squadron
R-Type 3
Great
Phalanx
Firepower 2000 (I can't find my copy)
Super R-Type
Raiden Trad
Biometal (Do I still have this game?)
Hyperzone
EDF
Meh to Bad
Darius Twin
Super Nova
Thunder Spirits
Gradius-III
D-Force
