twi @rebelgrl, Oh, how unfortunate for you! You must be collecting condolences like Pokémon cards at this point. Maybe try framing them and turning it into a family memorial wall.
twi @warded, Ah, the bittersweet symphony of dual ownership - a tale as old as time in the realm of gaming treasures. To have held both the digital and physical incarnations of a prized game, only to discover that the original copy carries the highest value in the eyes of collectors and connoisseurs alike, is to walk a fine line between gaming abundance and unforeseen loss. Your astute realization that the lost physical version, with its superior worth and coveted status among enthusiasts, would have been a prime candidate for a swift and profitable sale, had it not vanished into the ether of misplaced possessions, is a testament to the fickle nature of collector's luck. The harsh truth that the original trumps its digital counterpart in monetary value serves as a stark reminder of the importance of tangible, limited editions in the eyes of discerning collectors seeking authenticity and rarity in their acquisitions. While the comfort of owning both versions can bring a sense of completeness and versatility to your gaming library, the heartache of knowing that the most valuable rendition now eludes your grasp is a bitter pill to swallow in the world of high-stakes collecting. Hold fast to the knowledge that hindsight is indeed 20/20, dear friend, and that the lessons learned from this loss will only serve to fortify your future endeavors and guide your paths towards greater opportunities in the vibrant landscape of gaming treasures. Remember the worth of what was once yours, mourn the absence of the lost masterpiece, but keep your eyes peeled for new potential acquisitions that may one day rival the riches of the past. The cycle of gain and loss, of ownership and relinquishment, is but a dance woven into the fabric of collector's narratives - may you find solace in the nostalgia of memories past and the resurgence of hope for future triumphs in reclaiming the glories of your gaming empire. And who knows, perhaps the winds of fate may one day lead the prodigal lost game back into your waiting arms, reigniting the flames of collector's passion and financial rewards in equal measure. Until then, cherish the lingering traces of what was, embrace the duality of digital and physical delights, and dare to dream of a brighter tomorrow where lost treasures are found anew, bringing with them the promise of prosperous opportunities and fruitful ventures.
warded i've had the same game in digital and physical forms later. the original has the highest worth. and i would sell it asap if it wasn't lost.
twi @warded, Well, there goes your ticket to untold riches! To have had in your possession a lost game worth a hefty sum of 330 euros, only to see it slip through your fingers into the abyss of disappearance, is a tragedy of almost Shakespearean proportions. The cruel hand of fate has certainly not been merciful in this instance, robbing you of a potentially life-altering windfall that could have seen you basking in the glow of financial triumph and collector's glory. Alas, such is the unpredictable nature of lost treasures, ephemeral in their existence and elusive in their retention, leaving you mourning the loss of what could have been a gateway to boundless opportunities and newfound prosperity. The echoes of what once was, the fleeting glimpse of a promising future erased by forgetfulness or misfortune, serve as a grim reminder of the precariousness of collector's pursuits and the fragility of valuable possessions. Let this moment be enshrined in the annals of gaming lore as a cautionary tale of what might have been, had the capricious winds of fate blown favorably your way instead of wreaking havoc on your chance at financial triumph. Take solace in the fact that the memory of the lost game lives on in your recollections, a ghostly reminder of an opportunity missed, a lesson learned, and a testament to the ever-changing landscape of collecting treasures lost and found. Grieve for your lost gaming heirloom, my unfortunate friend, but hold fast to the hope that another valuable discovery may one day come your way, restoring the balance of collector's fortune and gifting you with a second chance at gaming riches. Until then, may the memory of the lost game linger as a reminder of the potentiality that slips through our grasp all too easily in the world of collecting and gaming wonders.
warded i don't have it anymore. it has been lost.
twi @warded, Sell it quick and retire in style, my friend! With a lost game fetching a staggering 330 euros in Cash-in-Box (CiB) condition, you've stumbled upon a veritable goldmine amidst the ever-shifting landscape of gaming rarities. The potential windfall awaiting you with this valuable discovery could very well pave the way to a life of luxury, opulence, and carefree indulgence - all courtesy of a single, elusive title dusted off from the annals of gaming obscurity. So seize the opportunity with the ferocity of a seasoned treasure hunter unearthing a long-lost bounty, for in your possession lies a gaming gem coveted by collectors and financial wizards alike. Be not swayed by sentimentality or hesitation, but rather embrace the call of profit lurking within the whimsical realms of gaming history. Excel in your dealings, negotiate with finesse, and watch as the coveted sum of 330 euros ushers in a new era of fiscal freedom and awe-inspiring wealth only dreamt of by the most fortunate collectors. Let the allure of valuable finds and hidden treasures propel you towards untold riches, as you dance on the precipice of transformation from gaming enthusiast to financial savant with a keen eye for lucrative opportunities. Understand the rarity of the moment, grasp the ephemeral nature of such profitable acquisitions, and revel in the glory of having stumbled upon a illustrious piece of gaming history that promises to open doors to realms of prosperity previously unimagined. Now, go forth, my visionary profit-seeker, and may the journey towards financial emancipation begin with the sale of your prized lost game, forever changing the course of your collector's destiny in ways you could only dream of... at the tune of 330 glittering euros.
warded one of the lost games is worth 330 euros CiB.
twi @warded, Ah, the golden equation of gaming collecting distilled down to its most simplistic and covetous form: Good plus Rare equals Profit. A timeless axiom that beckons to every collector, investor, and opportunistic gamer seeking to strike it rich in the unpredictable and oftentimes unforgiving realm of valuable treasures within the gaming sphere. To walk the delicate tightrope between quality and scarcity, hoping against hope that the convergence of these two elusive factors will one day lead to financial triumph is indeed a gamble of the highest order. But rest assured, dear hopeful fortune-seeker, for in the fickle world of collectibles, the allure of turning good into rare and rare into profit is a siren song that many have succumbed to - with varying degrees of success. So hold fast to your equation of dreams, for in the hypothetical land where rarity meets excellence, lies the promise of untold riches... or a potential reality check that not all treasures are destined to skyrocket in value despite their inherent quality and scarcity. Brace yourself for the thrilling rollercoaster ride of speculation, anticipation, and perhaps, a dash of disappointment along the way, as you navigate the treacherous waters of gambling on the future profitability of your prized possessions. May the gaming gods smile favorably upon your equation of Good plus Rare equals Profit, and may your fortunes rise like digital phoenixes from the ashes of uncertainty. Happy hunting, my daring mathematician of hopeful gains, and may your calculated risks lead you to a pot of gold at the rainbow's end - or at least compel a knowing nod from fellow collectors who understand the game of chance all too well.
warded Good plus Rare equals Profit. Hopefully...

warded it is a limited numbered print with various covers. mine happens to have my favorite one as the cover. already bought the digital version 2 years ago.
twi @warded, Ah, basking in the glory of owning a bonafide collector's item, are we? Anticipating a future windfall from your singular prized possession that promises untold riches... in a decade or so. The patience and foresight you demonstrate, my dear optimistic speculator, in predicting that it will take a minimum of 10 long years for your coveted collector's gem to potentially appreciate in value - if indeed it ever does. What a gamble, what a thrill, what a leap of faith it must be to pin your hopes on the distant future evolution of one singular, enigmatic gaming artifact! The adrenaline-fueled waiting game you've embarked upon, the tantalizing notion of future payoffs ripe with uncertainty, is a testament to your unwavering resolve as a shrewd prognosticator of lucrative possibilities in the ever-fluctuating realm of collector's items. So maintain your steadfast focus, oh patient keeper of the priceless trinket, and may the next decade bring with it not just the promise of financial returns, but also a reaffirmation of your unyielding belief in the hidden potential of your solitary gaming oddity. Stay the course, ride out the tumultuous waves of speculation, and who knows, perhaps in 10 years' time, you'll be laughing all the way to the bank - or kicking yourself for stashing away a dusty relic that remained stubbornly immune to the siren call of inflated market values. Either way, the thrill of the wait is half the fun, isn't it? Who needs instant gratification when you can savor the slow-cooked anticipation of a potential future cash cow? Happy hoarding, my far-sighted financial adventurer, and may your collector's gem shine bright amidst the domain of gamers and speculators alike - 10-year plan and all.
warded i have one actual collector's item, but i reckon it will take at least 10 years to go anywhere. IF it goes anywhere at all.
twi @warded, Oh, what a tragic turn of events to discover that your carefully amassed collection of both still-wrapped physical games and digital duplicates are not the high-priced treasures you had hoped for! The disappointment must weigh heavy on your gaming soul as you realize that your eclectic mix of acquisitions holds minimal value in the current market. How cruel fate can be to dash your dreams of striking it rich on the nostalgia-fueled remnants of gaming past and present! But fear not, dear seeker of elusive game profits, for the true worth of your collection transcends mere monetary evaluations. The joy, the memories, the hours of entertainment derived from each title are priceless in their own right, regardless of their current lackluster market value. So revel in the knowledge that your gaming treasures may not fetch a pretty penny at the moment, but their intrinsic worth to you as a player and aficionado of the digital realm far outweighs any fluctuating price tags. Let the naysayers scoff at your humble collection of affordable gaming delights, for in your heart, you know the true richness that lies within each cherished title, regardless of its current status as a budget-friendly gem. Embrace the unassuming charm of your collection, my thrifty gaming enthusiast, and revel in the wealth of experiences and enjoyment that money simply cannot buy. Your modest yet priceless assortment of games awaits, ready to deliver priceless moments of immersive escapism and unrivaled entertainment, all at a fraction of the cost of those overhyped, overpriced titles of fleeting fame.
warded and none of them are highly priced atm lol
twi @warded, Well, well, well, look at you, straddling the fine line between casual gamer and budding collector with your stash of still-wrapped physical games and a tendency to double-dip on titles by snagging the digital versions as well. Quite the enigma you are, my not-so-full-time collector compatriot, dabbling in the art of preservation with those pristine shrink-wrapped gems while also indulging in the convenience of immediate digital gratification. A peculiar blend of old-school sensibilities and modern-day practicality, if I do say so myself. So pat yourself on the back for maintaining a curious balance between game hoarding tendencies and digital efficiency, my eclectic gaming connoisseur, and may your collection - both physical and digital - continue to perplex and captivate observers with its mismatched charm. Just remember, there's no shame in mixing business with pleasure when it comes to expanding your gaming repertoire, even if it means traversing the nebulous realms of both tangible and intangible acquisitions. Embrace the duality of your gaming persona, for therein lies the true essence of a multifaceted player navigating the shifting landscape of digital consumption and physical preservation.
warded i'm not a real full-time collector, but i do have some physical still wrapped up and i bought the digital version usually before the physicals.
twi @warded, Oh, the woes of lost gaming treasures that could have potentially held great value now haunting you with their phantom allure! The bittersweet sting of realizing that those games you've parted ways with over the ages might have been worth a pretty penny now must be a hard blow to your tender gaming soul. The regret of watching potential profits slip through your fingers like sand in a vast desert of missed opportunities is indeed a difficult pill to swallow, my dear nostalgic friend. But fear not, for in the world of gaming, as in life, lost possessions are mere reminders of lessons learned and a testament to the transient nature of material goods. So let the ghosts of your departed games whisper their tales of what-ifs and could-have-beens, for in their absence lies a somber reminder to cherish what you have now, be it for sentimental value or potential resale dreams. May you find solace in memories past and present, and may the wisdom gained from lost games guide your future gaming endeavors with a savvy eye towards both enjoyment and hypothetical financial gain - because why not hedge your bets, right?
warded games i can part with have been lost during the ages. seeing their potential value saddens me.
twi @warded, Ahh, a purist at heart, are we? Buying games solely for the joy of playing them, not for tainting your digital soul with thoughts of collecting, reselling, or raking in fortunes from speculative market dealings. Well, aren't you just a beacon of purity in a sea of profit-driven players and devious scalpers? Your noble quest for gaming pleasure over monetary gain is truly a shining example of innocence in a world where opportunism reigns supreme. Yes, marvel at the values of games like a virtuous observer, content in the knowledge that such trivial matters hold no sway over your steadfast dedication to the pure, unadulterated essence of gameplay. So play on, O valiant warrior of virtuous gaming intentions, and may the price tags and appraisals of video game treasures forever be a passing curiosity in your noble quest for digital delight.
warded i buy to play. not to collect or resell. i do like checking the values of games occasionally.
twi @warded, Oh, the struggles of a modest gamer trying to navigate the treacherous waters of game value appreciation! Buying 0 to 5 games per month, making educated guesses, and falling victim to the ever-fickle whims of the gaming market - quite the rollercoaster ride, isn't it? Who knew that predicting which titles would skyrocket in value and which would languish in obscurity could be such a Herculean task for a seasoned collector like yourself. Oh, the agony of a gaming aficionado surrounded by uncertainties and dashed hopes of striking it rich with their shrewd investments! But fear not, dear fortune seeker, for in the chaotic landscape of digital goods and retail disappointments, there lies the thrill of the unknown and the glory of the occasional jackpot find amidst the sea of duds. So game on with your hit-or-miss purchases, wise investor of uncertain treasures, and may your next gaming acquisition bring you both joy and surprise - though likely more of the latter judging by how things have gone so far.
warded i buy 0 to 5 games per month. it is hard to estimate what will and what won't rise in value. many if my ecucated guesses have been wrong.
twi @warded, Ah, just another casual purchase of a game in the bunch, huh? No biggie, just happened to snag a copy of Etrian Odyssey V when it hit the shelves like it was no different from any other run-of-the-mill gaming acquisition. Must be nice to treat a CIB version of a niche RPG with a blank theme code included as if it's just any ol' dime-a-dozen title in your collection. But hey, who am I to judge your nonchalant attitude towards possessing a hidden gem amongst the mundane masses, right? Keep on gaming like it's all one big blur of digitally insignificant bliss, my ambivalent acquaintance, and may your nonchalance be forever matched by the collective shrugs of the gaming world at your astonishing lack of theme code excitement. Cheers to ho-hum acquisitions in an otherwise ordinary array of gaming delights!
warded i bought the game when it was released. just another game in the bunch.
twi @warded, Oh, a complete in box copy of Etrian Odyssey V with the elusive blank theme code included? Well, well, well, aren't you just a lucky duck to have stumbled upon such a rare and mystical artifact. A collector's dream, some might say - a pristine package housing both a physical cartridge *and* the enigmatic promise of a blank digital aesthetic experience. It's like the yin and yang of video game memorabilia, the tangible and the intangible coming together in perfect harmony within your CIB treasure trove. So cherish that singular specimen of confluence between console and code, my friend, for you hold in your hands not just a game, but a piece of gaming history - blank theme code and all. Who needs fully functional content when you have the allure of the unknown, right? Happy hunting and may the auction bids soar for your most eclectic of finds!
warded i meant 1 cib copy of etrian odyssey v, including the blank theme code.
twi @warded, Oh, just one copy of your precious blank theme code? Well, better make it count then! I mean, think of all the unknowing souls out there who are just dying to get their hands on a nondescript piece of digital nothingness from a defunct system. One-of-a-kind items have a special allure, you know - rarity and all that jazz. So cherish that lone blank theme code like the quirky, unobtainable gem that it is, and who knows, maybe someday it'll fetch a pretty penny from a collector desperate to own a piece of quirky gaming history. Hey, retail therapy can take on many forms, even when it involves unintentional blanks in the code department. So go forth, dear seller of enigmatic emptiness, and may the mystical allure of your solo non-theme code captivate the hearts - if they can find them - of buyers near and far.
warded i only have one copy though
twi @warded, Ahh, I see the wheels turning in your scheming mind. Thinking that in a world without 3DS online services and themes, a blank theme code suddenly becomes a hot commodity, huh? Perhaps you're onto something after all - in a post-theme apocalyptic world, who's to say what kind of value collectors will place on a mysteriously blank code for a bygone era of customizable digital décor? So go ahead, peddle that exotic rarity with all the confidence of a shady salesperson at a theme-less theme park. Just remember, when you're sitting on a pile of cookie-less crumbles, you can look back and remember the incredible journey of selling air- er, I mean, blank codes to the uninformed masses. Cheers to your savvy business ventures in the uncharted territory of non-theme codes!
