+DZ-Jay Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Scams are indicative of a healthy community. Scammers only show up if there is money to be made so if the communuty is too small you won't see any scams. In general, counterfeiting is a huge problem, it's everywhere, unavoidable, and it's getting worse. In the Intellivision community there are individuals that you can trust and that won't change. Well, I wouldn't go as far as saying that it is indicative of a healthy community. There are many small communities too small and just as healthy (and indeed, many started out that way) -- the one does not prescribe the other. That said, your point is well taken. Still, in order to maintain the health of the community, the collective should not accept certain corrosive behaviour as "normal" or as a matter of course. It should always be unmasked and abhorred, and perpetrators should be ostracized. Notice that this is different from the vindictive mob-rule or vigilante justice that some other communities extol as necessary. -dZ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Quite a lot to dissect here. First, these posters and I who claim this crash is coming are praised both in these forums and in private messaging. You've got a couple of people with you but that's barely anything. Facts? Have you already forgotten the prices I mentioned before? I can't see how you'd dissect that. I'll get back to that for your final point later. (...) I tell you my theory on why the price of Tutankham and Super Cobra dropped down. Do you know why they were pricey and sometimes still are? Because of their rarity? No, wrong answer. Those two games are not rare in the UK nor in France. They are surely more common than Motocross and Loco-motion over there. This is a fact. My theory is that they were pricey and still are sometimes because of their rarity in North America where Tutankham wasn't distributed and Super Cobra went in a very low number and only in Canada. Until some years ago many collectors in North America and sellers in Europe weren't familiar with overseas deals. Those who were exploited this situation and gained some extra money. I personally resold two or three copies of Super Cobra to overseas buyers three-four times the price I paid to get them (my sincere apologies if some of you are here now: at that time reselling the extras was the only way for me to get the resources to increment my collection and to keep on bringing the food home). Now that the most eBayers have become more familiar with International deals, that there are more tools to protect from frauds and, above all, the most North American collectors own their own copies of Tutankham and Super Cobra the prices are going back to normality. Tower of Doom is and will always be much rarer than Tutankham and Super Cobra, even though its price has always been lower. In any case, I believe the1hatman doesn't get only a couple of people with him. But even if there were only two, they are the best Edited November 21, 2018 by intellivotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Once again the only thing that dictates price is supply and demand There is no back to normal price Back to normal would be when the games were released. Oh -are the best because you agree with them? Really ? So the rest of us are scum?( yes we are ?? joking ) And how i see things the ones that do agree are mostly producers of something or involved in someway in the scene of homebrew and farkles. No denying that People open your eyes -curb that addiction for your next hit Thats why it has progressed to this point of a gyruss shit show. Dont kid yourselves Im sure more then 6 copies have sold In private ... addicts cant help themselves. They need that next hit. Always like sheep around here. Back to normal. Who dictates normal? The producers ? Edited November 21, 2018 by m-crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
