Growing up, I had three consoles; an APF TV Fun (a Christmas gift from my grandparents to my father), an Atari 7800 (purchased new to replace a game console damaged in a flood) and a Sega Master System (purchased by my parents at a garage sale as a gift for me). The first console I purchased with my own money was also brand new - Sega Genesis. Almost everything after that was purchased at garage sales and such, with the exception of the Dreamcast (open box special at Sam's Club and Christmas gift from my parents), Gamecube, Wii, and PS2.
