Visitor Q:
--- Quote from: shardian on June 25, 2009, 09:53:29 am ---I can't believe you guys are giving him hell for spending his money. If he has it, then he can spend it on what he wants. Cost is relative to the size of your paycheck. To Flake, $5k may be nothing. To me, $5k is an"OMG I can pay off all my debts and stop stressing" amount.
Not everyone wants to or needs to buy a junker and fix it up. Given the choice - I would MUCH rather buy minty HUO pins. I don't have the money, so I don't. Pin restoration is a major time investment. I did it once for the experience - I don't plan on doing it again. I would rather play the games.
Buy what you want dude, and enjoy it.

Thanks for that. I am not trying to throw anything in anyone's face here, I was simply trying to share my passion like most others on this site.
ChadTower:
I'm not giving him hell. I'm commenting on the marketplace in general and the disparity between the price of certain games for which there is nothing other than prestige to justify the difference. A game like Attack from Mars is a good game but it's not 300% better than most other DMD games. Of course Visitor Q can spend his money how he wants - I didn't say otherwise.

Yeah.
I think if we all had the money and space our collections would be much bigger and there would be a whole lot less nit picking about other people and their buying choices.
ChadTower:
Or, as we said, for some of us that's not the issue. Not that I have tons of money floating around but I have had and sold A list titles because they weren't worth as much to me as the 3 B list games I could get with the same price. Hell I couldn't get rid of that Twilight Zone fast enough once it was shopped nicely.
There is room for both philosophies in the hobby.
