Speaking of investments... something funny happened.

I found that I had a copy of Ninja Gaiden Sigma (PS3) which had forgotten about and it was brand new, sealed. I didn't want to play it now (already played the X360 original) so I put it up on eBay starting for $1, not expecting more than a few Dollars for this 6 year old game.

It sold for over $100... which confused the heck out of me. I thought the buyer was trying to scam me. Then I found out the original release of that game is a collectors item and people sell them for $200+. Some guy is asking $500 for that game!

Should I invest in some games that might become collectors items? :D


thats great advice. Thing this is I dont have 10k to dive in the water, would it make sence to just play with example 100 to test the waters and get a feel for things? 100 is no loss.

It is aways good to invest.  It's also good to start small so if you make a mistake it's not the end of the world.

Personally, I do my investing directly, through my bank online.  I pay a commission per trade, which works well because I don't trade frequently - just a few times per quarter.

My biggest advice would be to learn about the industry you are buying into.  Research it.  Understand it.  And attempt to remove yourself from the situation emotionally.
