Oh, if you like Nintendo, it'll be worth it...

So, two questions:

1- How do you guys end up with all of this stuff? There's got to be some money involved (or really nice parents... ), I sure didn't have money to buy things like this when I was your age, or I wouldn't need to be searching Ebay now.

2- What got you into these games? A lot of the stuff in your collections was in it's prime before you guys were really old enough to be into playing games, what got you into collecting these things?

I know a kid that's _REALLY_ into collecting Atari 2600 games. I think he's 14 or 15, and he saves up all his money and then will buy really rare 2600 games... I've seen him spend at least $500 on 2600 games at classic game auctions (held at Classic Gaming Expo). I'm always kind of surprised to see people really into collecting games that are before their time...

Classic Gaming Expo is in Las Vegas (at least, I think it will be there next year), tell your parents they really need a vacation next year.

for the first question I save up my money and buy these eletronics and for the second question what got me collecting was nintendo because I grew up with it when I was kid and how got into the older systems is because my dad loves them too except for my microvision and my intellivision because he only likes the atari 2600 and I dont that much and I will see you at that classic gaming expo next year ric because I really want to go to one because I have never been to one.Thanks,

Well see, I grew up with Nintendo, so I was alway's a pack rat and would always keep the systems. I saw Mr. Game And Watch on Super Smash Bros. Melee and read that he was on a series of handhelds. I did a goole search and there you have it, my boreing story.Also, my dad loves the goodwill,(a great place for all the handhelds) and my mom loves yard saleing. But is the best place to find them is the dump. I got alot of my stuff there. I got about 75% of my stufff free at the dump. The other 25% I bought at yard sales and from my grandma and thrift stores. And Rik, take a LOT for photos there, I already asked them if we could go and they said we do not need a vacation there.
