Somewhere, there is a line for me.
It’s not a number, per se. Rather it’s a number in proportion to other numbers in my life. The 2023 increases are close to stopping, if not substantially slowing my game acquisition for a while.
I understand inflation etc. I’m not mad at anyone. I just look at the games and say, “How much is this bit of happiness in my life worth?” Probably not $10K is the answer for me.
I’m not interested in paying outright for any game at the Bond prices, but okay trading my current games for those for a while.
Fortunately, I enjoy the hobby in many ways besides NIB games.
I’ll be curious to see how long I stand on my little soap box.
