adol, got a couple of questions: -appart from tetris 2 gold card, is there any other tetris related hibaihins or so ? -how much would cost me a tetris 2 gold card, what is supposed to be with the card ? -not talking about the last picture with all the hibaihins, which 15 games are the most expensive ? -does your insurance cover you from any risks ? -tu es chez quel assureur ?
Nope,it is the only hibaihin.After that you have the regular games:Tetris 2 + Bombliss Normal Edition, Limited Edition, Tetris Flash,Tetris 3,Tetris Butoh Gaiden, and i think that's it? Tetris 2 Gold Cart is loose,like Super Bomberman 2 or 5 gold carts.I'd say 20000 yens? Edit: I found 1 for you: http://www.japan-retrogames.com/product_info.php?cPath=25_26&products_id=2095&osCsid=4d6e34afdd6e38666fcf313d07e2bf3c But 300€ Can't say about 15,but 10 most expensive are probably Fire emblem Thracia 776 DX Pack,Rendering Ranger,Shin Star Trek,Barayarou Gourmet Sentai,Bio Metal,Undercover Cops,Emit Value Set,Bishojo Wrestler Retsuden -Blizzard Yuki-, Ninja Ryukenden Tomoe,Deae Tonosama Appare Ichiban, Final Fight Tough, all over 100€ generally and up to 350€ (Rendering Ranger). Iron Commando is expensive too,got sold for 125€ on Ebay a week ago (very good game,Punisher-like). I don't count Nintendo Power exclusives like Genjuo Ryodan,Super Punch Out or Super Family Wars who can be expensive too, or SM Teacher Hitomi Bangaihen 2, way over 100€. Insurance is at Matmut,it covers the SAME usual risks than for jewelry or paintings (theft,fire,water damages, that kind of thing) and refund you the exact value when you bought it,not less,and NOT MORE too.It is just an "extension" of the "normal" 8000€ limit for home insurance,i just paid extension up to whatever i wanted (and can be able to prove). But it is costly, because they force you to take alarm control systems,with radio central,etc..probably to be sure to not ever pay something. It costs around 150€/month total extra. I made plenty of pics&videos,and i have invoices/paypal payments/bank statements,so that should be enough. PS:I'm waiting your email to let me know how to pay you the 2 SMS games i won from you on Ebay
is that it? I'll give you 100 euros for the lot. No seriouly, that collection is beyond amazing. Be honest, those aren't real are they? You just spent the last 5 years doing superb CG and those photos are all computer generated right?
As far as I know you are rather fluent with Japanese, so did you ever play or finish one of the SM Teacher games? I've been told some interesting facts about an "orgasm bar" and "vibrator point'n click", could you tell me more about it? I saw them several times in Japan and was very tempted about buying them or not just out of curiosity.
just amazing, heh i thought it was really a joke! but when i saw the pictures, my jaw just hit the floor, incredible job! gratz :thumbsup:
Not really,no. I just got good opportunities to get games for cheap when it was the time,and opprtunities to sell them at the highest price, that's it. Such fullsets don't cost more than a car. All my fullsets don't cost more than some nice paintings,or a BMW. Does that mean somebody with a brand new car has money trees in his garden? In such case, there are millions of them. (By the way,my car is worth $500, and ran 400000km already)
I don't think you'll ever convince resellers from Japan that you'd be able to do that without mountains of cash...heh. But you are right, it is about what you choose to spend your money on, not how much money you have.
Well,getting ALL of this oin 1 day,you'll need mountains of cash. Getting it in 15 years,you'll need less, no? I got cool deals,i bought lots fo games and sold the ones i didnt need/doubles,etc.. I remember the time where i could sell a Audio CD of Akumajo Dracula New Classic for $1500! I bought games like Chibi Maruko Chan Deluxe Quiz on Neo for 6800 Yens,at Sofmap, and sold it 4 years later for $1200. With that kind of deal, money can go fast.It isn't the case anymore,but 1998-2002 it was. And there were plenty of guys wanting a DBZ Hyper Dimension of Sailor Moon Another Story SFC for $100,when you bought it 1000 Yens. I never forced ppl to buy things,this is just the price they wanted to pay it for,i started it at $40,it ends at $100. But well,we're out of subject. Exactly.I don't smoke,i don't drink (Thanks to my sport childhood),that's money i saved for 15 years. I have a crappy car,too
I can uderstand that, Ive sacrificed on lifestyle alot to get my collection where it is, allthough not even close to this level of commitment! I still spend too much on drink and fun but there has to be a some balance.
For me,those fullsets ARE fun to collect The difference with some other fun activities is that if i want to sell it one day,they're worth something.
oh yeah i agree, I only said 'fun' because I couldnt think of anything else other than 'drink' :icon_bigg
To me,drink isn't fun. Track&field is fun But that's probably because i grew up with my parents as athletes,and long jump in my blood
Holy shit!!! that is very impressive. How much can you estimate you had to spend to acquire that all?
