Post rare shit

[Anonymous No.4364041]

I feel like the term "rare" has lost all meaning with the retro gaming bubble at max capacity. Post something you own that you think nobody else on this board does.

Pic related. This gold Zelda Game Boy Camera was only sold from the Nintendo Power Catalog, allegedly only 2000 units were made. I have not seen a single copy for sale on ebay since 2011. I feel like this is one of those bits of /vr/ that is so rare that nobody could actually wager how much its worth because nobody knows it exists. If anyone else on this board owns this thing, I'd be surprised.

>rare shit
That is indeed rare and shit. Function wise it's useless and only of value to a collector or speculator. But yes, it is genuinely rare and valuable, unlike 99.999% of the "rare" shit that's been posted before.
Rare never lost it's meaning because it was meaningless to begin with. In the real world when you say rare most people assume uncommon and valuable. In a niche hobby full of autists and younglings rare is just a meaningless dick measuring word. Something can be "rare", as in a very limited number made, and still be worth very little in any currency aside from (You)s. Something can be "rare", as in scarce, simply because millions of people want to millions of units produced. Very few people have something that's both greatly limited in numbers and also valuable so you'll never get all those wannabes to agree with that definition.

Not even that guy but on the contrary it proves otherwise.
When the library of Alexandria burned to the ground only through pirated/copied books we got aware of existing work of that time.
What people deemed relevant they replicated and multiplied while thousands of other works are gone forever.

Same thing with video games.
Those deem worth by people will continue to be replicated,pirated,copied and used forever.

>pirated/copied books
All books were pirated/copied back then, there were no intellectual property laws designed to protect the preservation of the exclusive right to sell works of science and art We now have laws that establish and protect those rights, and we only ignore them because it's easy, convenient, and impossible to punish. Not only that, thanks to our entitlement we get angry when the property owners by right exercise that right to sell (especially Nintendo).

By downloading full romsets I'm not deluding myself into believing that I'm preserving shit. I'm playing free games.

Well, I don't own it myself, but I got something rare for a friend of mine.

A few years back, I lived in a different city, and there was this sort of antiques store. Not quite the right word, just sold a bunch of old or uncommon shit.

Anyway, they also sold a bunch of old games consoles. I got in touch with a friend of mine, who's a pretty big sega nut, and told him what was on offer. Next day, I go in and pick up a dreamcast. brought it home and had a look at everything that came with it, discovered it had the network adapter. Guessing it might be a bit hard to come by, I looked online, and apparently there weren't that many made in the U.K., and they're necessary for hacks or something.

Passed the console onto my friend and picked up what I was owed, informed him of the adapter that came with it for free, and he was pretty pleased with that. Kinda made my day to be able to help out a bro like that too, the adapters were pricing at about £100 or more at the time.

Probably Makaimura Gaiden for Game Boy. Not the first one that was released as Gargoyle's Quest, but the sequel that was originally an NES game. It was ported to GB. It's somewhat rare since it was never released outside of Japan, but I doubt it's worth more than USD $20 - $30. The NES version is ridiculously expensive.

My GB collection is filled with a lot of uncommon or pricy games since it's my go-to system. I bought these games before resellers started inflating prices.

As for non-retro: I probably have some expensive games in my GC library. I think GC recently saw a price hike. Smash Bros. Melee is probably the most valuable at the moment.

Nah, they used leaded solder, which is far superior to modern solder.
Mask ROM chips are basically indestructible.
the PCBs are better material than most made these days, and the glue holding them together is insanely strong and long-lived. It's also crazy toxic and was outlawed in the 2000s.

They fingers on the boards are all either tin or gold plated, so they will outlive us all.

The carts themselves operate on low amperage 5v supply behind several layers of protection, too, so electrical failure will never happen.

These NES "Original" releases are soooo weird as far as collecting goes. They are basically "Player's Choice" versions of the original releases.
Their all re-releases, most without change too. Punch-Out!! is the only one with a change of any kind but significantly worth less despite being rarer. The gray cart Zeldas are int he same boat, mean while ass hats still swear their gonna strike it rich cause their zelda is gold. BUT Yellow label Metroid. Hold your load cause mother fuckers gonna shit when they see that crap.
So basically, 4 games all re-releases, all just as rare as the next, 3 of them cheap, 1 super expensive because it's the same color as piss.

It has some Zelda stickers that are only found on it. When I first heard about this as the "Zelda GameBoy Camera" I got pissed because I HATE when people assume because something Nintendo is gold it's Zelda releated (like the 64) BUT it actually is. Nintendo sold it through Nitnendo Power along with other Zelda products to advertise Ocarina of Time & it has Zelda stickers built int hat aren't on the original releases.
But once again; rare & unknown so if ti went for auction & the right people dont see it it might go for next to nothing but you find the right cock-knocker & he'll give you a grand easy just to prove he doesn't have a tiny dick to his friends.
