Welcome to Retrobytes.

Well, I created this blog for my fellow collectors and gamers out there. Just a portal of opinions and guides, nothing too serious.

Collecting in the Philippines is very hard, particularly in Cebu. The most that we can get here are surpluses from Japan and our family exports from the United States and other parts of the globe. So it is a challenge to collect them all ala Pokemon.

The other challenge is the price. While some of the sellers are selling their consoles and games for a bargain, a large chunks of our sellers overpriced their items compared to the standard market price. Also, there is only one dedicated collector's store in Cebu and it is located in Lapu-lapu city!

The prices are a bit high but the quality is guaranteed, no regrets there. There are some collectors that are selling their collections now and then, but very rare.

 I cannot talk much right now. Let us share these challenges and let me know your insights and opinions. Flames and butt-hurts are also welcome.
