Quoted from 27dnast:I don’t know who has the time or energy to flip. I know I have zero interest in spending my time doing that.
I wouldn't have most of the games I have if I didn't use the hobby to help fund itself. I can't keep laying out 3, 4, 5K out of pocket unfortunately for these games so I make some money off them when I can to put towards games for my collection. It takes time and energy though for sure.
Quoted from Slim64:That's exactly how I was able to afford my WoZ and star trek pro.
Same here. Had to spend my time finding the deals, driving to get the games, hauling them out of basements, and getting them cleaned and working...but was able to pay for my ST pro with minimal out of pocket cash. Same thing with my SlugFest. Flipped 2 arcade games and shopped out two pins for a buddy that needed them for route but didn't have time to get the cash together. No regrets!
