Just want to share some memories with you since this forum gave me back the sacred fire for collecting video game after selling everything about 5 years ago. Anyway those are the best topic...
(BTW sorry for my english im from quebec canada)
So in 2001 when i was in high-school ive started buying tons of game with my limited budget + i had no internet at home + at the time no car and there was about 4-5 store in town that were selling used video game. So i was quite hard to find great deal.
At the peak of my first collection i had around 800 games and i had spend at least 10k to get there...
i looked like this:

so ive collected games from 2001 to 2005 and then i decided to start my own compagny and i needed cash for tools and car so you know the rest...
i decided to keep around 50 games + 2-3 systems (ps2,xbox,nes) and sold the rest.
from 2005 to 2009 i had little time to even play so i never bought another game during this time except maybe ff12...
so last year around september i was messing around on the net and i found Digitpress. Almost immediatly i had an urge to start all over again.
I must sincerely thanks all members who provide great info on collecting since its so much easier for me to collect this time.
By example in less than 10-11 months i have already 800 games and 15+ consoles. Since ive used every tricks in the book that ive learned here i would say ive not spend more than 2k to get all that stuff.
So im pretty happy with my new collection since i feel its already almost better than my original (and it will be much better in only a few more months)
and it cost me only 1/5 the price
so here is my room of doom part 2 its not much but its only the beggining,
let me know what you think since im pretty pround of what ive achived in less than a year!
And look foward for a futur super collector!
