I normally spend about $150 on gaming acquisitions a month, however I've taken to selling off old games on eBay to generate cash for new acquisitions. Sell games to buy games, simple as that. The method worked well this month.

I'm not gonna end up doing this... After going kind of nuts for a while, I remembered why I got out of collecting in the first place.

[Tanooki]

Over the weekend I actually found stuff -- Paper Mario GC and Gimmick NES (new parts) for myself, and also Mario Kart GC and Metroid Fusion to pay for it.

[PartridgeSenpai]

Heard it was getting pretty hard to find, so when I saw Super Mario U + Luigi U in the resale shop the other day, I just HAD to trade in some stuff to be able to afford it.

Also picked up Columns Crown (GBA) when I saw they had it for just 3 bucks. It's apparently the best version, at least before Sega appears to've totally given up on that series in favor of Puyo Puyo.

Another fairly big month, mostly due to going to MAGFest.

The 4 3D Classics I bought for the plane journey, and to finish the set. Radiant Dawn I bought with refunded Paypal money from another purchase that fell through. The next 9 games I bought at MAGFest, totalling $100USD. The price I quoted is approximately correct using the exchange rate I got dollars for.

Soleil I just got because why not? I'm only 12 games away from having 1000 games, so I'm trying to pick up a few more notable titles over the next few months until I hit the big 4 digits.

[Sarge]

Wish MAGFest was closer to me, I'd definitely consider going. How's the selection of games there? Reasonable, overpriced, or all over the place?

I live 3500 miles away, you have no excuse!

The game selection varied, but was smaller than I'd have hoped. Too many vendors selling game related stuff (posters, jewellery, figurines etc) and not enough actually selling games.

Prices seemed to vary from OK to slightly overpriced in general, but one stall in particular has some crazy high prices for modern imports.

[Sarge]

Yeah, I guess I don't have an excuse! Hope you got a good price on air fare.
