Since my first game in 2010, I’ve now owned 37 games. My collecting has varied. I’ve had NIB, projects, rough, restored, high end restored etc. I go for games that interest me, but frequently make impulse buys of good opportunities when they come up. Despite my experience, I still make the occasional bad decision. I’ve learn to cut bait on the bad decisions and move on.

My most recent purchases are a nib Deadpool pro and a Routed High Speed. Both are fun in different ways. While the routed High Speed seems like the better deal on first glance, I probably overpaid. I will have quite a bit of fun cleaning up tweaking the high speed and that adds value for me as I really enjoy the process.

You can find great value in new and used games with patience. For example, buying local to avoid shippingor buying a demo game at a show. Patience, more than any other factor, is what causes me to save or loose money on a game. I wanted a new Deadpool. Guess what? No savings. I do get to play a fun new game.
