Nice to see everyone!
Also,
Bloodreign, where is Masta Ace?
Long disappeared I'm afraid. Raven Reaper's around, but not doing forums, he's married with a kid last time I talked to him a little while back. But MA is long gone.

You gotta pump those numbers up.
Those are Rookie Numbers!
Unless that price bubble pops soon, before the PS1 gets swallowed into it as well (the Saturn has already approached that territory, that system is a bitch to collect anything cheap for. Saturn Bomberman I recently just got, the Japanese version for $40, but that's close to the end of the line for that system for me), collecting will become more and more spotty, I only tend to buy twice, maybe 3 times a year now due to how expensive the hobby has become. These damned resellers are taking the fun out of the hobby. These fuckers are not in the game for the fun of collecting, but to disprove the old saying, "you can't make a living off of selling old video games", and they have found a damned way of doing so. Of course, space in my bedroom for more games has gotten pretty slim, wish I had the space for bookshelves, but I'd probably need two good sized ones, or more, but don't have the space for them. To me, that is the ultimate way of organizing games, but not happening.
Not to mention I ordered SVC Chaos PS2 Japanese version, and the seller's warehouse staff goofed and sent me Namco X Capcom, which I promptly sent back for a refund, and the guy may not have an SVC Chaos for me to buy anymore. Not to mention after 2 days I still haven't gotten my refund back to my Ebay gift card back. I read it takes sometimes 3-5 days for that to happen, and when and if it does, I will message that dude to look through his inventory again to see if he still has the copy I ordered, if not I take my business elsewhere when one pops up for the same price or cheaper again (been buying from the guy for years on Ebay, second time in a year they goof up on an order and send me the wrong thing. Might be my last time buying from him). I have another Ebay store I buy from, several years too, and they have never goofed on an order of mine. Hell I bought Seiken Densetsu 2 SFC (Secret of Mana as it LOLCHEAPZ), Super Bomberman 4 and 5, and Saturn Bomberman all from this other seller, and everything came in exactly as I had ordered.
