How much do you think you've spent on your collection?

Post#1 » Sat Oct 03, 2015 4:42 am

So I've gone through my collection, through eBay/Amazon receipts and tags I never got around to removing (some were literally over 10 years old, now they just have to stay on). On games alone, with about 20% or so unaccounted for (ones I did get the tags off of, or gifts), I've spent $606 on just games (an average of $7 each!). With my 3 consoles at $60, and maybe $40 or so in accessories, I can say I've definitely spent over $700 on my Dreamcast collection (also not countingthe delicious cake). Probably closer to $800, since at least a couple games I don't have prices for were probably about $30 each.

How much do you guys think you've sunk into the DC?

My Dreamcast was 50€, many games where 3/4 € I guess between 110/140€ (I have a keyboard CIB on its way here for 14€ :D) I still need more games and accessories!

On my DC-Collection i think i spent around 600€, which amounts to 77 games as of now and like 5 or 6 controllers, same amount VMUs, Keyboard, Mouse, Arcade Stick, VGA Box and a BBA :)

I've been extremely lucky on quite a few things in my collection, for example the BBA... I got that one with a DC, 2 controllers, 5 games for just under 50€... It wasn't listed in the eBay auction but visible on the pics... A few nervous days later i've opened the box and there it was :)

Not too much and I have quite a bit of DC rarities here and there along with some key titles. I've been rather fortunate I suppose.

Over the years its hard to say.
I remember buying the DC a few times when it was actually on store shelves.
I have traded, sold, and re-purchased DC stuff so many times.
I honestly have no idea how much I have spent.

I think up to 10K is plausible. Between 10K and 20K is a bit overestimating your collection.

I could be wrong though...

Dunno man, I was just joking, BUT there's a lot of shit in there, specially the rare stuff which always costs an arm and a leg :lol: :lol:
