Again expensive games

[TomBeck]

Somebody want to sell his collection. But Videopac 21 for 159,95€  

But also Videopac 45 is too expensive in my opinion.

We are not in brazil, then they were cheap.

Crazy prices !

Some time ago, here in Brazil, used to find things with good prices, fortunately I completed my collection (Brazilian games and Odyssey Adventures magazines) in this period. Then came someone who is not a collector, lives off other people's work, speculation and hacks. So the prices went up. Anyway, market is demand. If people don't buy, maybe he'll look for a real job and leave the items free to collectors.

This ebayer from Spain also sells Neutron Star for just19,95e. I think he doesn't know the values of videpacs. Here is the thing: There's also someone (named Medi-Frei) who asks 179,00e for VP21. I think the ebayer from Spain thinks VP21 is expensive due to this earlier ebayer Medi-Frei. Medi-Frei is an imposter. He puts lots of articles priced for 1.111,11e. I think he waits for someone to 'accidentely' bye some of the articles.

Yes, people who are unaware of values end up with reference to the prices they are seeing. And at a time when there are a lot of people asking for real fortunes for their items, it is hard to get good prices on things. Some items I see have been on sale for over five years now.

Yes, I have seen these items too, waiting on ebay for many years now. I want to complete my #61 till #71 Videopacs, but the prices of these homebrews are completely gone mad.

Your mission, to find Videopac 61-71 is a hard job. Many of them, I think, are in the hands of collectors, they don`t collect anymore. This games are forgotten in cupboards or cellars.  

And some of them are in the hands of ebay devils, who think, they have gold in their hands.  

But only a few, maybe pop up, sometimes, at ebay for a normal price. There you must have luck. But this are the moments, where we are happy to be a collector.

And then, there are the rare moments, when you get a mail in your Outlook or via Videopac.nl, when nice peoples make an offer to you.

I wish you much luck for your collection Elias.
