How many backup PCB's do you need (or trying to cure my hoarding)
I don't think I've ever met a cheap PCB for a game I own that I didn't pick up. People call me a hoarder, I call them back ups. But I guess I have to be honest. Do I need 20+ of the same board?
So assuming they were all working (that's not saying they will all stay working), and also assuming you were able to get as many as you felt comfortable to start with, how many boards do you think are good as back-ups? Note, not as boards to sell or trade, but a "just in case a game goes down an hour before a game party" type thing?
I'm thinking three, one in the actual game, one as a back up, and one as "just in case". Anything more you're a hoarder. Oh wait, that's me!
Okay, so if I follow through on this, I'll have plenty of boards to get rid of.
So, what do you think is reasonable to keep for games you have? And if they're for buying/selling purposes, that's an entirely different story. I mean, if you're just reselling (and there's nothing wrong with that), why should you pass up buying a dozen of the same board if you know you can re-sell them?
