Wow. I was talking to a friend of mine about video games I have. He figured I was talking about the more modern consoles but I told him I was referring to the old school games. Atari, Intellivision, Colecovision, etc. His eyes lit up and he would not let the conversation end. It continued after work turning into instant messaging "old games 101". I told him about the Vegas shows I went to, the DP store and other related things. I even mentioned the homebrew games and it made him even more drawn to things. He has officially caught the bug. I advised him to hit DP and register here and do an intro and all. I also advised him to take things in before doing anything. I gave him examples such as Atari 7800 being backward compatible to play 2600 and things like that. I said I have numerous doubles of commons and could give him many. (Why? I don't really ever sell anything and trading commons is usually not necessary. Thats why their called commons, most of us have them + I'm a game packrat). My advisory went ignored, he already bought an Atari 2600 and some games (not a bad deal thankfully). However, he told me he is watching many other auctions. I am trying to slow his roll. It is going be tough though, he is a man possessed. He also mentioned some of the game watch type games... He was looking at some of the more sought after games which run into the hundreds of dollars.
