Part of me says awww the other parts says "really?"
The Best advice or comments I saw
Or have:
Stop scanning CL ads a deal is a deal if you've got a fund allocated for the hobby
Sell games to raise cash. Look 29 pins isn't hoarding but there is a clear pattern of financial irresponsibility.
At no time should any pins or parts be lying on a basement floor . Anticipate the unexpected or be at least be cognizant
of your water table.
Sump pump and dehumidifier are paramount before game one even goes into a basement that's susceptible to water. Me personally mine flooded in 2010 and I made the necessary engineering adjustments prior to setting up the "arcade". It wasn't cheap.
A wise man even older than me 
told me to collect quality over quantity . It's mostly worked out well with very few hiccups.
Self-reliance is a tool many of today's youth seem to lack IMHO.
Water in a basement is just that. A FLOOD is a tragic weather phenomenon that destroys property and takes lives.
