You and others may find this odd, But I have very little interest in playing video games. If I do it's the older stuff and arcade games.
I have a very nice collection of Nintendo brand items. Just to give you a idea. I have way over 200 of the first original grey Game Boy systems. I would buy lots of 15 to 30 of them at times. I have no idea of just how many I have after the many years of hoarding them. I do know that I have way over 200 of just the grey ones and then there are the Play it Loud ones that were other case colors. And from there it goes and goes and goes. Sega Game Gears, Nomads, Wonderswan, NeoGeo, handhelds............
I have many boxed Limited Edition systems. When I would see something that I had to have in my hands I would pay a bit more then I would most times for game items. The most I paid for a handheld was almost $160.00. The same handheld today is bringing many hundreds, that is if you can find one for sale.
I also have repair parts. I bought ALL the original Game Boy battery covers that Nintendo of America had in stock years back. Found out later that the person that took the order wasn't supposed to sell them all to one person as they were all they had left. I also won many auctions for boxes of new replacement parts that came from repair shops and such when the new handhelds replaced them for popularity.
I haven't thought about this stuff in years.
I also collect the children's learning systems and most anything that has lights and wires.
Part of the reason that I have been getting rid of some of my hoard that doesn't personally interest me is so that I can have more room for my favorite things.
The game stuff is one of those favorite things.
When you are single you can buy all the toys you can get your hands on for a nice price.
I really like the Japanese game items as I like the colorful artwork and such. I have a very interesting assortment of Japan only Nintendo and Sega items.
I don't have all the NES and SNES games, but I do have all the ones that are not rare and a few of the rare ones.
I mostly look for bargains when buying for my collections.
Do you have the SNES Super Scope and all the games for it? That is a must have. I do enjoy the shooter games.
I will have a peek at what you have posted on game items after I post this, that is if I don't get side tracked in my older age...
