    Pro-tip: take a quick look at price guides for the systems you are interested in. You don't have to memorize them, but get a general feel for where the average price sits for a game, and what games are extremely common/not worth picking up. Just because you can get a game for $10 doesn't mean it's worth $10 -- sometimes it might only be worth $0.84. Also, it's nice to know what's worth a lot of money in case you happen to find a copy below market value. Even if you're not interested in that game, you can pick it up and resell it and help fund your obsession.

    Vintage shops are a Catch-22. They usually have decent stock, but they also know what their stuff is worth. If you only plan on buying games that you absolutely have to own (favourite series, critically acclaimed titles, fan favourites, etc) then it's not as big of a deal. If you plan on collecting a lot of games, regardless of personal feelings towards them (what I'm done with my NES collection), then sometimes you have to hold back on making a purchase just because it's there, and wait for one that's appropriately priced. For example, there are a lot of games for the NES I don't plan on buying at any time, because I know I'll eventually get a copy in a lot auction or trade. No point wasting my money on them unless the price is dynamite ($3 for a CIB copy, for example).

    I might actually just collect some consoles for a bit, I might see what this guy has. I know I saw an Intellivision the other day when I went to Gamers, they wanted $15 for it. And it still worked.

    Not too shabby. Good luck. Kind of makes me wish I had more vintage game stores around here. One of these days I'll have to take a trip around the island and try and check out a few more spots.

    That's what I thought myself. Unfortunately my old man hates the fact that I wanna start collecting old consoles, he likes the newer ones. But hopefully tomorrow I have some luck.

    The really old consoles (Atari, Intellivision, Colecovision, etc) don't really hold much interest for me. If I happen to come across some that are really cheap I'll probably buy them and start a collection (a few of those have relatively small libraries), but otherwise... meh. NES is my one true love.

    The SNES and GameCube will always be my favorites.

    But I wouldn't mind having at least one of every type of console.
