My wife pointed out a complete-in-box Sega Genesis Model 2. I never had one and always wanted one. Years before, I'd had to sell my whole collection to make rent and pay the bills. After that Genesis, I found a complete-in-box Sonic the Hedgehog to go with it, and the rest has been history. It brought back my love for the retro world. It also showed me how much that world had filled up with scalpers and "collectors" buying up the supply and scalping the prices. That's where we come in. Honest, published rates. Priced at market. For collectors, by collectors. - Based in Rock Island, IL.
