Any Video Game Collectors out there?

Does anyone on this site consider themselves video game collectors? Do you scour ebay looking for rare games for cheap prices? Do you visit local thrift stores or garage sales looking for some great finds?

I myself do. I have been collecting seriously since January and I am still going. My collection has just reached 260 and I plan to continue this hobby.

I'm quite selective and not much of an avid gamer.
Just once in a while there is a game i want, mostly b'cause of nostalgic reasons.
For example, in November 2008 i bought Grim Fandango.
I played that game in 1998(!) for the first and last time, rented from the library.
Man, that was such a blast to play through again!
It has been a decade ago... ouch!

I've a pretty large video game collection, although I wouldn't really deem myself a dedicated collector as its just what i've managed to amass in over 17 years of playing games, but im sitting on around 720 games over 22 individual systems at the moment, although I have spent a stupid ammount of money buying games and replacements via ebay in the past.

" Sure, I collect video games in that I don't trade or sell them once I've purchased them.

Yes! I started collecting about 7 years ago. Now my collection is huge, after the ER and played P4 and P3 Fes I need to find P3, P2 IS, P2 EP, and P1.

Yeah, retro stuff mainly.

I find it for about $78 at amazon but that was like a few months ago.
