Guys, I didn't expect the unprovoked attack on something that has been a great joy to me over the years.
I have been reading articles and posts on this site (on and off) for nearly a year and now that I signed up I will frequent this place more. I thought this might be one place where we would have a common topic. Surely we are here because we have an interest in Dreamcast, and am I the only person in the world to have this collection? For the collectors out there... it can be done. Some contacted me earlier in the week that actually live quite close by and because of Ebay posting he sent me photos of his Japanese collection which was very impressive. Can't we all just be happy for each other?
I have gone past my childhood years now (30) and this collection was started as a kind of "see if I could" and I did. For the last two years my wife has been nagging me to sell the lot (including the
xbox, cube, PS2) including all unnecessary gadgets. I told her I would sell it "once it was complete" it is now complete.
By the way aren't all new threads just Spam?
In response to the "nice" people, As I had taken a photo of the PAL stuff (I have a lot more on import) and as it was complete I thought it would be good to show it off. None of my friends are impressed by it that's for sure. The missus thinks I am crazy for whittling away our money.
I believe that the collection is worth £5000 (as a collection). Original retail would be in the region of £10,000. I am looking for at least a decent figure but not to make money.
When I got to 50 titles I thought, lets collect the lot... by the time I got to 170 it became so difficult, but I had to continue. Last year I was in Japan with the intention of buying a NEO-GEO and Metal Slug but found the cartridges to be £1000 each! So I change my mind and bought the Hello Kitty machine on the shell next to it.
I won't retract my earlier response and I will flame anyone that insults my games collection! You have all been warned now. Being kicked off a forum isn't going to cause me any sleep.
I like to believe that I am now an authority on the subject of DC games as I can honestly say I "have" played them all. Having me posting on this should be to your (dcemu's) credit.
Ok, back to work now...
