See a few folks here pondering potential sales and while I know everyone has a different scenario thought it might be an interesting conversation topic.
What's your decision for your play budget based on? What kinda price is your throw away for playing with something new?
For me it goes up and down along with other issues like income. When I was young it was pretty much <$20 I would buy it for the hell of it and entertain myself. Now a day if I see a system under $50 that's pretty reasonable for me to justify cost wise, just now my problem is space from all the previous reasonings :-D So although there are some sweet deals out there (unless it's on my must have list which I still would have to justify) sometimes I can't save or collect them like I might have in previous years. It also seems uncommon to find systems in that play budget range in the last decade. Then there are some systems which should be but you have to add gas or shipping to the equation and it comes out to more of a commitment than I can do.
For you other collectors out there, what are your thoughts?
