How much have you and would you spend on your collection?
Victini Games:
• I'm curious to know how much you've spent on your collection.
Like every other person i have zero clue
• What's the most you've spent on a single item and the most you WOULD spend for a special gaming piece?
The most I've spent on anything gaming related is the $200 each it cost me to buy a switch and a new 3ds xl. I Usually cap off my retro game purchases at $20.00 and try to stick to only good handheld games in order to keep my wallet from dying on me. But if i found something I really wanted i would probably raise the price bar a bit.
• Have you spent more or less on your collection than its current value?
I would say less judging by how frugal i am with buying games
• Do you ever plan to sell or is your stuff going to the grave or to your kids?
When I hopefully get married someday i would like to teach my kids the importance of preserving the games so that on the day I pass on my collection I know they would be in good hands
• Any game purchase regrets?
Besides my entire GBA library I had since childhood as opposed to my newer one I don't have any physical game regrets
• Do you have insurance?
Nope.

-Can't keep track, too many years of collecting.
What's the most you've spent on a single item and the most you WOULD spend for a special gaming piece?
-$300 for a new Xbox 360. Retro wise, $110 (just recently) for "Radiant Silvergun"
Have you spent more or less on your collection than its current value?
-Not even close. I estimate my collection is worth 10X what I've spent.
Do you ever plan to sell or is your stuff going to the grave or to your kids?
-I'm constantly cycling through games. There's very few "untouchables" in my collection.
Any game purchase regrets?
-Not really. I'm usually able to trade or otherwise recoup my money if I make a mistake.
Do you have insurance?
-Yes

Too much but I am happy
What's the most you've spent on a single item and the most you WOULD spend for a special gaming piece?
$200 on Lunar for sega cd in near mint condition. Honestly I have all the high priced things in my collection that I want except a ps4 pro... but I am working on that.
Have you spent more or less on your collection than its current value?
if you count repairs, custom cases and art prints, More
Do you ever plan to sell or is your stuff going to the grave or to your kids?
I have a stepson that would like it, but honestly everything is for sale. If someone offered me $350,000 I would let my collection go (with it taking me almost 20 years to get it this far)
Any game purchase regrets?
Yep, and I sold those crappy games or traded them away.
Do you have insurance?
House insurance covers the games at current market value, and my firearms keep the robbers away.

I figured I could link a csv with my collection.
