    I think about selling games from time to time. As with most things they can become repetative and then not get played for a while, and you start thinking about using the money or space for other things. But the last time I did that about 5 years ago, I really kicked myself after letting some go, and found myself scrambling to get them back. A few of them I got the exact same machines back, others I had to find replacements, and a couple never came back. Unless you need the money or space, I suggest folding up a game that you are tired of and put it away somewhere. Then in a month or two you can open it back up and it's like a new toy again, or if you miss it sooner it's much easier to get it back when it's just put away and not gone.

    I'd like to get a new CTS-V, but selling pins to help fund a car purchase that is going to depreciate in value doesn't make sense to me - especially when I have a car that's just fine now.

    As for classic cars, I've already done that. Too much hassle/expense for storage, upkeep, and insurance. And for what? To drive them occasionally on the weekend and worry about someone hitting you, or where to park, or sitting in traffic, or getting stolen? No thanks. They are cool to look at carshows, but that's enough for me now. Similar to guys I work with having quads/dirtbikes/jet skis/boats. They are stored 90% of the time, take on a ton of room, and have to be towed 100 miles away to enjoy them. Oh and one of them crashed last weekend and broke his collar bone, going to be out for 6 weeks - nice. With pins I just walk into the gameroom and turn them on, instant enjoyment any time in any weather.
