while ago that when people come over and say “Wow, that’s so cool!” it doesn’t mean that they attach a non-zero value to my stuff or even want to play them. They just want me to feel good I think.
I grok that. Or, they are really neat, as long as they are somewhere else. A lot of people want the games, but they don't want the hassle, expense, or real-estate the games require. I own them, but they certainly also own me. At this point, games are expensive when you want to buy them and (frequently) considered junk when you wish to sell them. Like boats or jewelry. I've been badly wanting a Sprint, Sprint 2 or Video Pinball. But once you add on shipping, the asking price is over $1000. At this point, with the massive load of Atari computers and the arcade games I already own, it's just too much. -Chris
