Anyone into retro game collecting? I collect just about everything dating back to the NES days. Been trying to build my collection over the past few years. I'll have to share some pictures on here of my little game room that I've got going on. Was just curious though if any of you guys are into collecting as well.

I'm a gamer, but I tend to offload my stuff. I'm not much into collecting the stuff, mainly due to lack of room for it and most of my extra money goes to my kids and their various activities.

I've always kept quite a few current games, but only recently decided to go ahead and start collecting retro. Started off fairly small, got a big boost when a coworker gave me a couple of PS2 Systems, and about 65-70 games or so. Have just been building on that.

I collect retro music - aka vinyl.

Does that count?

Haha why not?

Some day I'm going to get my hands on a record player and dabble in that.

My collection started with my mom's vinyls I brought with me when I moved to FL in 2000. Didn't even have a record player. About 5 years ago my brother-in-laws and sister-in-law got me one of those 6-in-1 players for Christmas. It was shortly after that I began my collection. Mostly 80's hair bands (Tesla, Van Halen, Crue) but a few 70's bands. Now every time I go out of town, I try to find a local record shop and add to my collection.

Recently I had to build a new holder as my collection out grew my first record bin. So I combined my record player with my liquor cabinet.

Finished my latest project about a week or so ago. Bought a Gameboy Advance SP from a gentleman on Facebook Marketplace. It is the highly sought after AGS-101 model that has the brighter backlit screen. The only issue was that he had dropped it and broken the shell near one of the hinges. I scored the SP and an authentic copy of Pokemond Leaf Green Edition for only $30! AGS-101 models are usually worth about $80 in decent shape, an the Pokemon Leaf Green is worth $30 by itself so I basically got the system for free. Heckuva deal.

I bought a clear purple replacement shell with a model sticker to match the system. I also ordered a replacement glass lens so I could get rid of the old plastic one. $20 for the whole setup and I already had the tools to install it this time as I just repaired another Gameboy of mine not too long ago as well. Here's how it turned out.

Picked up this guy last weekend. 6ft tall. Rare fiberglass Master Chief statue that was sent out promotionally to certain stores during the game's launch. Some guy had it locally and I only paid $200 for it. These can sell for over $2,000 to the right buyer.
