Weird how many games I've had but forgot that I had.

For some reason I was browsing through my flickr photostream here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58313390@N00/ and was noticing how many games are in there the I totally had spaced off that I ever even owned.

And this is just barely any of them since I didn't post very many up on flickr. It's weird. I wish I had kept a list all along.

New collectors take note. Keep track of what you've had. They kind of run together after a while!
 
I wish I had some good pictures of my old collection when I lived in Cleveland. Digital cameras were pretty new and expensive back then. I document everything that passes through now.

Unfortunately, I lost a lot of my old pics of arcade games (and lots of other things) due to a hard disk crash years ago. It sucked....learned my lesson about backups though.
 
I have a blog post over at COSP that I keep updated with all of the games that I used to own. Actually, it has been a while since I updated, so I better get that done before I lose the pics.
 
Wow...you had a KI1....whatever happened to that cabinet? Been looking for one of those for a while.

Yeah I did. I actually got that one for free from an operator who had it in a laundromat. It wasn't working but I got it going and traded it to a guy for...um...I think it was a Missile Command cocktail. I know the guy still and he's near here. Are you interested in it? I can ask him if he wants to sell.

I think there was another one in my pics as well but I didn't buy it. It was a guy over in Concord who had a lot of stuff he was blowing out a while back. Just happens to live right across the street from my wife's parents and I stumbled onto him there.

Exactly why I keep my excel spread sheet. Tracks every game I bought, when I bought it, where I bought it, how much I paid, what work has been done, what it needs, and if applicable when I sold it, for how much, and who bought it. I use equations to track how much I've spent total, and how much profit I've made (currently just $200 in the whole on the vids, pins are another matter...) I also have a list of games I'd love to have, ranked on my desire to have them and the possibility of finding/affording one.

Yeah you would think I would do that too. But I end up tracking it on a physical piece of paper instead. Not sure why I do it that way....
 
I'm 6'6". I can still get pants without having to go to the freak store. But just barely.

I'm 6'4" and have to get Levi's online. Nobody seems to carry 33W 36L jeans in the store. I can get pairs of 40W 32L all day long, though. I hate you short fat bastards taking up all the shelf space. :)

You just need to put on a bunch of weight. Then it will be easier to find pants.

I call BS. If he finds out you posted that you
could get banned. Just sayin...

It's actually a pretty old pic that was posted and discussed a while back. It's faded into obscurity now and you are right, that's probably for the best. But I'm pretty sure he must have seen it by now and I haven't reposted it so I think we should all be ok.
