I've always wondered a few things....like.....
1. How do you figure out that, the thrift or other place you thought you had to yourself has been "hit" by another collector. You know the feeling...you've had this place all to yourself and now you find the pickings "picked over". Do you do a little "test" to prove your therory, or do you have another way of detecting the "intruder".
2. You're at your local thrift and sure enough...there's a guy with what you normally have in your hands....in his!!! How do you....say...break this ice and find out who he is and what the hell he's doin' with that Vectrex & Chase the Chuckwagon cart. Do you ....strike up small talk...follow him to his house, pull the closest fire alarm box, hoping he'll run out while dropping the precious goods he's obviously taken from your sacred "hunting grounds".
3. Any input would be helpful in resolving a nagging thought bouncing around in my head, similiar to a 2600 Breakout game gone totally bad :/ :/
