22 Nintendo game & watches, 22 various tabletops, 10 Tomytronic 3D's (all variants with some duplicates), and over 65 various other handhelds - not including 9 GameGears with over 100 carts, 4 Atari Lynx's, 2 Gameboys and a Tiger Game.com. All of which need a serious dusting Very Happy

I've pretty much ground to a halt with collecting because I rarely go to car boot sales anymore, the ones near me have gotten worse over the years and the supply of games dried up quickly so I now occasionally buy from eBay but generally it's too expensive.

Most recent addition is the ReBoot handheld game & Tomytronic 3D Sherman Attack which is in the post to me right now.

Collecting for over 6 years now, the bulk of my collection I acquired in the first few years of 'intentional' collecting due to the cheap prices at car boot sales, now they've all pretty much dried up because of eBay, both the games and the actual car boot sales.
When I was first buying them at boot sales I never heard the word eBay or online selling, but that soon changed pretty quickly as all the 'good' items I'd usually see at boot sales disappeared and the ones I did see had inflated prices to match that of eBay prices.

Have to say I am guilty of buying stuff at boot sales to sell on eBay, sold a few Donkey Kong gameandwatches on eBay that only cost me £2 each at most but I kept the one that cost me £1 which is in near perfect condition and a 2nd just for those times I want a play.

You and me both. By the end of the month, I should have 20+ VFD tabletop games and about thirty other, assorted odd handhelds (mistly LCD games from my childhood). This has become the newest addition to my video game collection, which is anything but new.

I have 500+ Atari 2600 games, and near complete sets for the 5200, 7800, intellivision, Odyssey, Colecovision, Astrocade, Arcadia, Channel F, Studio II and Vectrex. I also have a lot of classic computer stuff as well. Basically, a whole spare bedroom full of game stuff that I've collected over the last ten years. Not that I'm obsessive or anything Rolling Eyes

I'm really enjoying the handhelds now. It's a whole new facet of classic gaming I had nearly forgotten about. Great stuff! Many of them are still a blast to play. I usually paly a few rounds before I go to bed, or after work. Currently, Alien Attack, Cosmic 3000 Fireaway, Kingman and Packri Monster are my favorites.

I probably have somewhere between 60 and 70 games, the overwhelming majority of which are baseball related.

(I would have several more if Linda was not such a determined bidder.) Mr. Green
