I started as a gamer, then turned collector, then hoarder. When I realized I had a problem I became a re-seller (which is it's own demon). At one point I was buying power adapters and A/V cables and controllers by the case just so I could sell all of my systems. $30k+ one year on eBay alone.

Then I had my second kid and it kind of went reverse. I stopped selling because of time and ever growing fees and shipping costs, but kept accumulating (how can anybody say no $1500 worth of TG16 stuff for $250?) then went back to collecting specific items and finally back to a gamer.

lol now I have about a dozen cherished games and an original XBOX loaded with retro games. It's been quite the journey!
