I get the urge to quit at least once a week. Everytime I go into my basement it's never to play games, but to do other things or just grab something from the deep freezer. I stop while down there and look at my games thinking,why do I still have these? I never play them. My best times in the hobby were when I was actively searching and doing pick ups. It was so much fun to get something new and to restore it to it's former glory. About two months ago I was finally at the point where I have every game I have ever wanted and then everything just stopped. I am no longer buying games and will probably not buy another for a very long time. For a while I was buying games that I did'nt want and restoring them to sell and make profit to fund the hobby,but no more. It seems nowadays you practically have to give a game away to sell it no matter what the game is so my sell for profit strategy went out the window. It no longer made sense for me to do anything if the game sits for months without a buyer. I never even have the urge to go play my games and feel like I am neglecting them in some way,that they should go to someone who has more time to appreciate them. My kids no longer beg to play them and would rather do other things,the wife never plays her games anymore either. Arcadia is getting no love.Once or twice a month all the games will get powered on when we have friends over but thats it and when they are on I play maybe two games out of everything I have. I want to sell everything I have in the worst way but I traveled to many miles and spent to much time to let them go. Outdoor activities have also kept me out of the gameroom. I got back into SCCA racing and drag,the offroad R/C racing season is back in full swing so I'll be busy with that until Sept-Oct then it's back to indoor R/C racing. Maybe I should just let the games sit and collect dust rather than selling them and regretting it later?
