I don’t want to buy games digitally anymore until I can actually own the game rather than the license. But then some freak on eBay is asking for $500 for a copy of Klonoa on the PS1. Then there are even more freaks who are willing to bid higher than that! Then the smaller retro games stores around me base their prices on these prices. There needs to be a price cap on this stuff. We can’t let all of the richest nerds control the economy.

    Got to disagree with you on #6 unless you explicitly mention that it’s a DIY replica.

    If one is buying a PC box, you expect the original from when it was released, not a DIY GOG package (which you can do yourself).

      I’m sure the OP will be careful to let himself know that he’s made a DIY replica.

      I’m not suggesting that you sell your DIY GOG package to someone else. I’m suggesting you do that for yourself.
