Really... it's a common game after all.. just check klov.

I kind of like it! The 'rarity' logic is flawed right now as you point out
since the database isn't as actively updated as it would be nice to see.
Also, the more rare games are more likely to be collected than some really
common or newer games. But I like to see the counts on known number of
collectors. It's neat to look up a game and see that you're the only one
that has it (even if it's not true). (Mayday!!) Maybe this will provoke
more people to create and maintain VAPS entries, as they'll see something
tangible from it. And as a result the KLOV link will get more meaningful.

My Bally/Midway Power Drive is listed as Very Rare with no known
machines in collectors hands. I'll let it go for 5 grand if anyone
wants to own a one-of-a-kind collectible arcade treasure!

It would be cool, perhaps if anyone was moderating, or updating VAPS.
Perhaps KLOV will start running it?

The thing that bothers me most about KLOV is that it's rarely updated - I've
been sending a bunch of pics of marquees, logic boards, screen caps, and
added a new title or 2 and nothing has been added to the listings and it's
been awhile now since I uploaded this stuff. I can see all of the files
pending in the queue but they are stuck in limbo at this point.

I'd much rather see this stuff updated vs. the "rarity" listing thing that
they recently added.

The *really* scary thought is that some newbie is going to find klov... look
up his machine (say Quantum) see that it's a very common one (maybe even
price a *rare* machine on e-bay) and decide that it's not worth even trying
to sell and simply trash it...

KLOV is an invalubale resource but I think they got it wrong on this.
They should call it 'most collected' or something like that instead of
the misleading 'rarity' label. Lots of rare games arent going to be on
that list because they actually ARE rare and nobody has them. Their
logic is flawed.

The logic goes off of VAPS entries registered, which unfortunately were more
valid years ago before today. I don't know any collector in recent years
who has cared about what their rarity label says....KLOV is alway a first
stop when looking up a game for pic purposes versus the rarity spin on it.
Anyone who SELLS based on the rarity information is just stupid, and those
in the know are aware of it. Those who aren't deserve to believe it.
