Bulking up your collection

[treismac]

Buy "lots" on ebay. It is as good as any way to bulk up you collection with cheap games.

like if you lived in vermont like me take this as a example

An atari 2600 with 60 games (some listed as boxed too) for 75 dollars. That would be a good starter lot for the 2600 providing its not 35 copies of Pac man and such lol

Yeah, I been using Amazon but even when you get games for $.99, and 5 games for $3ea, $4 shipping on each kills the deal. I used Amazon for most of what I have now but I want to bulk up now. Ill try the things suggested here for my next buys.

Ebay lots will be your best bet -it just sucks because a lot of the lots are 60% sports titles with a few lame games mixed in. Once and a while a good lot will come up with a bunch of common games and maybe a nice gem or 2 mixed in. Even if you own some of the titles you can always sell them individually and probably make your money back.

The other way to do it on ebay is to buy games from sellers who do not do free shipping, but have a combined shipping rule and lots of cheap games that you want. It's how I bought a lot of the stuff.

Or you could wait until good games start appearing in lots with crap games, and acquiring them over time like everyone else. Crappy games stack up quick, no reason to purposely seek them out.

This.

If you just bulk up for the sake of bulking up collectors won't take you serious and just mock you.
The only collections appropriated are ones that took time and TLC. While we can use cheats in games you can't use cheat's to collect.

THis is the way. Also visit any local game stores not owned buy Gamestop. NES games work best with this method, IMO.

Just curious....

Why would you want to have a large amount of "crap" games?

What would be considered a crap game is relative and some people might think other people's collections are full of crap... but if you yourself consider these games crap, then why?

Some people don't collect to play the games but rather collect to own all the games ever created for (a) specific game system(s)
