Heh, my Blu/DVD/CD collection is pretty insane too. You have a very valid point there.

A lot of my holding / collecting things correlates directly to my children.

I have a crap-ton of rpgs, strategy and adventure games that I have not played and will not play any time soon. For 2 reasons:
-I grew up on them and loved them and want my kids to play them when they are able to play rpg's.
-I'd like to play them someday too, once things calm down and I can actually game for hours strung together.

If I didn't have kids, i'd probably have a much smaller collection and more epic things - but it has to be balance for each person's current reality.

Man, I've always been the same way. I love having a library of movies, cds, games, what have you. I think, for me, its because I always wanted to have a large amont of consoles/games, so now that I can, in this nostalgic hobby, I act like I would have then and swim in my games.

But, I rarily have as much fun withh all these games now, then I did contantly as a kid with one console, and maybe 5 games.

So its safe to say you'll be a senior playing Mario 64 trying to find all the stars.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

Some do. I personally am not willing to spend over $450 for a pcb, and I would only pay that for one game.

If you want to buy a new pcb, like the upcoming Dodonpachi SDOJ, it'll run a bit over $2000. Quite a few kits have held their value too, like Akai Katana.

I traded a board I bought for $110 for the one I just picked up, and I think I made out like a bandit! :twisted:

Crows is a tough one.

Never up for auction, never on the forums.

I've seen more Psychic Killers than I have Crows - I don't think yr gonna steal it is what i'm saying, so prob just gonna have to bite the bullet on that one and do a buy now.
