My complete Super Famicom CIB Fullset,1450 titles!

Can't say,but i can estimate a price i wouldn't sell it for less.

 

Well if you take take an average sum of 10 bucks a game, it'll make a total amount of about 14500$. Thats at least how I handle to guess the money I invested when, the more expensive games will equal the cheaper ones so that an average price of 10$ is the result.

 

Why not $1?

You can double that,and take an average of $20,when you count agents,shipping charges,games like Rendering Ranger who are worth $400,Tengai Makyo Zero V Jump worth $800 alone,Magical Drop 2 Special Version which is $500,etc..i can name only 50 games that makes total $8-10k.making the $10 average thing $14000 for the remaining 1400 games,making $22-24000,already.
I spent $150 in Final Fantasy 6 or Chrono Trigger back in 1994-95 whern i bought them brand new (games are at 11800 Yens,then), not $10.

I don't know exactly how much i spent,but i know i won't sell it for less 20-25k Euros if somebody make an offer,considering years of work it took.
$10 average,for complete in box SFC games? Lol. $20 MINIMUM.
Just check on Ebay,"average" CIB SFC games always fetch $10-15,then you have shipping charges to add (and custom fees probably?)
When you have a good game,like Iron Commando,it goes for $200.

For Saturn,yeah maybe $10,or SMS. But definately not for SFC.

Edit: Look:

A simple normal game can go for $76.What special has this game?Just uncommon maybe?And there are hundreds of them.

The guy wants $16800 for a 720 SNES games collection,not even complete,no box/instructions for games,etc.
Mine is double that, and totally complete with case and instructions,and you know the value difference between a loose game and a complete one. $35-40k seems more accurate. I'll buy your SFC CIB fullset for $14500 in an instant, even making a loan to the bank.

 

Hey ya Adol

Yes...impressive as always
Tell me about your next "project".
What about trying something really reallly really difficult???

A sealed PS-PAL collection would be an option....I think this is impossible. But I also think that is what you like...the impossible ones
I think after you have done all the complete japanese collections, it's time for something which is much more difficult....which is maybe a lifetime job.

Keep on the good work...see you on SGH

 

CIB SFC fullset isn't difficult already? Who else already made it?
Who already had 24 fullsets simultaneously?

It is now more than 7 years not a single SFC game comes out, and i never saw pics of a fullset anywhere. MD yes,Mundocombo joined me into the club and i saw 2-3 yahoo auctions, PC Engine yes on Yahoo auctions sometimes,etc? SFC CIB? Never.
That isn't more difficult than any PAL fullset? Besides PAL fullsets are generally 2-3 times more little than japanese ones.
Come on, be realistic, not a PAL fanboy

Sealed games are harder to get sure, but i'm not a fan of them.I like having them,but that's it.

I'm not specially interested in PAL stuff (except SMS which marked my childhood), and sealed stuff is too expensive,i'm not a seal fetichist
While i still have 400 out of 670 PCE games factory sealed,but i got them 1 by 1,replacing mine by those ones when i had good opportunities

Maybe you collect for collecting, but personally i collect what i LIKE. And i liked japanese games. I never grew up within "blue PAL MD boxes" or "PAL SNES last releases like Super bomberman 3..",i'm into import scene since i'm 10.

My next plans?
I'm ending Sega Saturn fullset (1170 games if i remember correctly),still 10 games to go..
I'll make pics of it once finished, and i'll have the complete Sega fullset, owning all Mark 3/Game Gear/Megadrive/Mega CD/32X/Saturn/Dreamcast japanese games ever made. (There is SG1000-SC3000 too,but i was 2 years old at that time, then i'm not really interested, but who knows.

Too, i'll make new pics of my PCE fullset now i have it with ALL spine cards.

I don't have any other "plans", making pics of the Famicom Disk system fullset as well,and the SMS one i have for a decade now..
I think i'm 95% done with collecting
Maybe Gamecube,it will fit well with SFC,N64,DD64 & FDS fullsets, since there is only like 300 games in Japan and i alreadu have 150. But that's it.

Maybe i'll sell everything off in 3 years,who knows.

 

A SFC collection is hard to get..no question.
Also a sealed japanese Saturn collection or NGCD collection...or or or (japanese).

But you also know that it's a big way harder to get sealed PAL collections.
The sealed collecting scene is quite big in Japan....and old games are still available in shops...in new condition.

When you look to Europe the scene is small...very small. And there a no shops which sell sealed GBC or SNES or N64 or even PS games anymore.

Don't feel attacked...this is my opinion and you know it's true.
It is impossible to get a sealed PAL collection.

Ok, if you are a fanboy of sealed japanese collections...that's very fine too.
But I wanna see a sealed PAL collection (no N-Gage)...but this one will be a dream till the end of time
I always see fullsets of japanese ones....kind of weird.

Hey Adol...once again: Don't feel attacked

 

ray:ray:ray:

 

Adol, do you think one day you will collect a Famicom full set?

 

I'm a japanese collection fanboy,yes. I assume it.
But i never said "hey it is 100000 times harder than getting a US NTSC collection or a PAL collection".
I don't compare them, but IF you want me to compare, then i give my point of view.

I was talking about sealed collections, just PAL collections.
SFC games were never sealed, neither MD, so it seems "unfair" to compare things that don't exist.

But i do have 2/3 of japanese pce fullset factory sealed, indeed.
400 titles.Not THAT bad. i'd go for complete factory sealed pce fullet, if i could afford it. but right now i don't. I got Factory Sealed Dracula X, but i prefered to sell it for 450€,and buy 30 SFC CIB games instead. That's how i see things.

I disagree with the "small" european scene...you have plenty of ppl selling on Ebay France,UK,Spain,Italy,Germany,etc..
But if you're talking SPECIFICALLY about factory sealed games,well then YES,ok

I think some people already managed to get a dreamcast pal factory sealed fullset, nope?
I'm not into it,and i easily got 100 titles in 3 months..near half the fullset IIRC.

As told earlier, i'm not really into factory sealed stuff, and i'm collecting only what i love. That's why i won't collect Sony or Microsoft stuff (factory sealed or not) except the games i liked on PS1/PS2.
I'm not looking for the difficulty either.
I just wanted to get all SFC games, just like i wanted all MD games, all PCE Games..if nobody ever did it, fine, i'm the first. But i collected them because i love those systems.

That's why i said i'm 95% done with collecting, i don't see what i could do more..i'm not into Sony/Microsoft stuff, i'm not into handheld stuff (except Gamegear because it was Sega, and Hucards because it is PC Engine) that much either..
Next logical step would be to get Nintendo 8-16-32-64 Nintendo fullset, just like i did with Sega and Nec.

That means, when i'll be done with Gamecube, i'd need ALL famicom games CIB...that's a challenge and i know i can't afford it, except if i sell some of those fullsets,but simultaneously, no i can't.
I have like 350-400 FC CIB games, i'd still need 650 games to go...
That's hard.
Especially for a system i like but i don't love.I enjoyed NES in Europe back at the time,but i don't love obscure japanese RPGs or Mahjong games i never knew in the 80s (i'm born 1980).

Many people manage to achieve 1 fullset, in "his category": PC Engine, SFC, Megadrive,etc..
I managed to get 23-24 simultaneously within 15 years. My wallet is empty now
If i want more,i'd have to sell some. And get them 1 AFTER 1, like other people do.

 

I just answered. Yeah,MAYBE. But right now,i can't afford it.
I'd have to sell a fullset to get the money for this.

And the "beauty" of this scheme,for me, is to have simultaneously all 8-16-32-64-128bit Nintendo games...FC,FDS,SFC,N64,DD64,GC. Not 1 after 1. Maybe 1 after 1 is ok though. But i'd prefer all simultaneously,just like i did for Sega and NEC, (or SNK in the past, before selling AES fullset)

 

"
I disagree with the "small" european scene...you have plenty of ppl selling on Ebay France,UK,Spain,Italy,Germany,etc..

I just talked about the "sealed scene" (including shops which sell sealed games) of Japan and Europe
Sorry for the confusion.

"

"

That's what I want to hear
Thanks for saying the truth.

 

I think a good challenge for you would be a complete CIB Korean Gam*Boy (SMS) full set, thats an area that really interests me but so far ive only managed 10 games (not all CIB either). I'm not sure there is even a list available? that would make it even more interesting :110:

 

Only 300 games? Wow I, thought it were more like 600.

And what about you beginning to understand that real collectors don't just collect for selling their collections some day but for passion?
I still can't see why you think that everyone has to collect what YOU like. Or rather, what you consider to be a good investment.

 

Your collection is just jaw dropping,astonishing.:thumbsup:

 

???That's what you paid? Man, that can be had complete in box for about 1500 yen. I'm not joking either. Mangasoko in Shimosone has one, Mandrake in Kokura has one and Magic Box in my town (Shimonoseki) has one. That's 3 in a 50 minute drive of each other for under 2000 yen.

I guess collecting in a country that's not the country of origin can be very expensive :nod:

Yakumo

 

Ah...Ave...the collector who is collecting games cause of passion.

Who is buying bunches (100 games in a lot and more) from Japan and selling it here (Europe) in ebay....yeah...listen to that man :clap:
I saw your thread in "multikonsolero"

I do not know what's a good investment. I think probably a good investment would be buying cheap games from Japan (100 Saturn games for each 1 Euro+shipment) like you did some days ago.
And don't tell me something about "passion"...I'm laughing ave...I'm laughing at you :icon_bigg

I just buy games which fits in my collection...maybe just one game per month....maybe more. If there is nothing...I'll buy nothing.

What type of collecting is the passional one:
Buying bunches of games for cheap just to have it or buying some nice treasures because they fit into the collection???

Ave....sorry, don't tell me anything about collecting...you 17 year old kid

@Adol

Sorry for this...Ave and I discuss this via PM
We do not use your thread for this anymore. I hope ave will also understand it....

 

Here I am.

Nice you saw it. I bought this bundle because I am collecting Saturn games and about 2/3 of that bundle are a good addition to my collection. The other stuff is for sale as they are doubles, I would neither sell complete games that I don't have already nor would I buy bundles just for resale... too much effort and there will be issues with restrictions for private sellers.

Yeah, I'm a funny guy. You take all this way too serious though, but that's just my impression.

Both ways of collecting can be very passionate. But opposite to me you are talking all the way what good deal your games are if you ever wanted to sell them and how much their value will increase and so on and so on. See some NexGam discussions where you were just talking about money money money... I don't even think about selling my games ever. I just buy them for joy and I'm happy if I got some rare piece for cheap.

Also hoarding cheap games does not exclude buying rare treasures as well. And I have some for sure.

The argument of age is always the last and most desperate way of telling somebody to shut up. I'm 18 by the way.

@adol
Sorry for threadjacking.

 

My Dad is stronger than your Dad ^^

 

Yeah,it is a challenge,but a challenge who doesn't interest me.
As said earlier,i do such challenges because i like them.
About SMS,i did what i wanted: Mark 3 fullset, SMS euro fullset+ Brazilian/Australian/US exclusives. That should be enough

 

No, that's not what i paid,but that's how much it goes for now:

Here is how much Rendering Ranger goes for too:

I paid more like 2000 Yens (for Iron Commando or Rendering Ranger),but that was a decade ago.
Today,CIB,i CAN sell it for 100€,that's what it is worth. and 300€ for Rendering Ranger.
But you're right,NOT being in Japan having such a fullset is 10 times harder than for a Japan resident. Thanks for putting that point out

Too,if Europeans pay a bigger price for SFC games,i think i can buy good french wine or Vuitton bags for cheaper than Japanese residents..
