9 years for me! I was 'told' once the newness wears off you start selling after accumulating. Still waiting for that...I only sold 2 games but have collected and held many! Hell ya!

#94 9 years ago
Quoted from Stu:

your kidding right....that person should have followed it up with "Oh Yeah, They Multiply Like Rabbits"

Eh, they were exiting pinball, selling their collection and I was buying as many of theirs as I could afford. I know of several people who lost interest in pinball and sold off their collections. Not me! I got the BUG bad.

Quoted from tracelifter:

Once it happens you will have enough cash to buy a house...or a Shelby Cobra.

I am pretty sure my collection is worth more than my house. Okay maybe not exactly but getting there. Especially with new games costing around $8K a pop now...this hobby is damn expensive
