All of them under 10 bucks each. And Spirit Tracks was new. Right now I'm trying to get Final Fantasy V for the GBA, but the prices for that game are kind of ridiculous. Funny how it's cheaper to buy any of the 3 PSX FF games compared to the GBA ones.
Cartridge only:

Kirby's Adventure was the only NES game released in french (in NA anyway). I bought it because it was in an excellent condition and I really wanted that game (which is probably my favourite childhood game) to be VGA graded

I mostly collect DVD's & Blu-Ray's. I have a collection of over 400 movies. I don't even want to think how much money was put in it!
Last time I counted, I had only a shelf and a half of dvd's, and I was already at 1000$. Now, I have 4 complete shelves, and one half full....

A little late, but when I bought Duke Nukem Forever, I got a keyholder, a nuclear logo pin and a beer cozy.

I use, for the moment, a drawer from my plastic shelf and an old army ammo box to store them. Both can store up to 30-ish cartridges each.

« on: September 30, 2011, 06:34:28 pm »
I think I collect for multiple reasons. One of them would be nostalgia. I grew up playing NES & SNES. I used to have a Genesis with a couple of games, but never really cared much for this one. I recently decided to get back to NES collecting when I found on kijiji a NES system with 2 controllers, 1 zapper, 1 RC adapter and the RF thing with four games for only 30$. That's what really started it again for me. Christ, it's only been 2 weeks that I've bought that NES, and I have up to 20 games now (including the original 4 ones).
The other reasons why I collect would certainly be for sentimental values. When I buy something like a game or a movie, it's because most of the time, I have a particular feeling or memory attached to the object in question. Be it a bad movie or a bad game, I simply want to own them because they bring back such good memories. As an exemple, I just recently bought on eBay for only 4$ The Simpson's: Bart Nightmares. It not a really good games, but I remember the fun I had playing it as a kid.
