Is your desire for collecting arcade games:

Increasing
Decreasing
About The Same

Pick one! :)
 
About the same but more disciplined. Meaning I dont jump on something because its cheap. Ive graduated to getting the games I really want and passing on stuff that I have no need for.
 
About the same, I've had an idea of what cabs I've wanted, I've just gotta track them down

Although the PC10 and SI are pure impulse :D
 
Decreased all the way down to one cab, I never look for games anymore and wouldn't take a free one even if my neighbor was giving all of his away.

+1000

keep checking CL 6x + a day

I check CL a lot as well, though I too no longer shoot for every game that is cheap. I am almost at maximum capacity without redoing the garage (which I probably will do).

Video games have always been a way of life for me. I hardly see one without dropping money in it. Ever since I was a little kid.
 
Increasing. Bought 4 new games just recently.
I do not mind buying duplicates either.
Or games I have not played yet.
Or games that are a projects.
 
Decreasing. I've got the games I want...can't really think of another I would take. However, I would like 2-3 pins to round out my collection. However, I won't sell any of my vids for them.
 
About The Same

I have about every board or kit I wanted to get and as I am not into collecting the dedicated oldies from long ago but in the later Japanese Jamma shmups the amount of cabs really don't matter that much.
I just have two and might get another one in the long run but just I want to play and have the Arcade games I like at home , not start a home arcade, I'm glad I'm pretty much finished anyway because prices of the popular 90's Shmups are going right trough the roof lately .
 
Increasing but don't have the transport, nor the space to get many more...

Renting a storage unit, although tempting, sounds like a bad idea most of the time.
 
About the same intensity, but different goals. I am now just buying games that I really want instead of whatever is available. I want a lot of pins now, so it has quickly become an expensive hobby, but it is great to have the games that I really want.
 
......

i still enjoy the thrill of the hunt but more selective these days. the lack of supply on craigslist, decreased storage space, and tighter fun $$ are keeping things in check.
