How do I look at other people's collections and sell lists etc - I like to window shop

Welcome to VGC!

Each user's home screen directs them back to their own personal collection with unique url, with your collection being here. So, for instance, if you were wanting to visit my collection, simply replace your username with mine. However, some users have private collections which is controllable via account settings.

Fantastic - thanks for the help/guidance!

I find it really difficult to answer this question as my attitude changes. 

I started a long time ago as a gamer and like most people didn't take care of much but as I grew older I appreciate everything that goes into producing a game.....especially with old games....the soundtrack, the box artwork, the manual.  It's a piece of history - might be a crap piece of history but even still

I have no goals but I like genres mainly RPGs,  point and click, platformers and I just collect what I like.  I have a mix on all platforms from 2600 through Amiga to PS2 being probably the latest iteration I will look at just now.

Hi folks just checking in - UK collector and just stumbled across this site.  First impressions really good and have just started to try and upload my collection.  I have went through several iterations over the past couple of decades.....collecting, selling, regretting, buying again then selling when needs must.  I am currently firmly in the collecting again - I just love the history, nostalgia and most of the games.....although like me some haven't aged well
