Hi everyone, I have been wanting to post my collection up for quite some time but thought I'd better wait until I got near the halfway mark. 32/60 boxed has taken quite some time but after some lucky wins on ebay and some patience to wait for the right item to come up I've finally got halfway there. Hope you enjoy www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=157180Thanks, Anthony

Hey Anthony,
Great looking collection.
I am also around the half way point for boxed items. The next half will get interesting/tougher.
How is collecting in Melbourne? Vic? Are there flea markets where you might be able to pick things up? Nothing much in Perth now. Maybe 10 yrs ago.
And when I win lotto, I will also be contacting a few of the guys on this forum ;D

Yes, don't waste your time looking in toy shops or fleamarkets unless you live in Japan! :smile:

Yeah you're right Innis.. One guy in a market at Geelong had some loose games and he was asking around that price and you should have seen the state of them......they were disgusting. Mike, I can email photo's of collection if you're interested??? Andrew, I believe the last half of the collection is going to be like a horny woman with a headache.....It could be a hell of alot of fun but jeez I'm going to have to work for it. LOL. Anthony

There's a big flea market in my town each week. I've only seen two G&W, last year, and that was the same day. I've bought a loose M&D in poor state for 5€, and left a loose Bomb Sweeper to his seller. Who was asking 70€ ! ;D

Very nice collection you got there Anthony. I like your mickey mouse panorama, I wish I had one like that. About the flea market: I bought a complete donkey kong 2 about 2 years ago for 15 euros and a loose donkey kong jr for 5 euros. But I can't find G&W any more at flea markets in Holland. So I guess Michael is right : just don't look and waste your time at flea markets.
John.

Thanks for your comments everyone!!
I really wanted to go for the 60/60 mint boxed but I really need to get I disagree into gear and buy a house so if you're interested in any of my games please pm me.
The only ones that have sentimental value and that I want to keep are DK ms - DK2 ms - G/house - Oil Panic - Mick & Don - DKjr nws - Octopus & Squish...the rest are up for grabs for the highest offer.
If you would like more photos of any game that is no problem just send me your email.
Anthony

Hi Ulf, Yes..selling up again but this time I wont be getting back into it a few weeks later. I really dont want to do it but I'm sick of paying off somebody else's mortgage. Hopefully later on when I get a wage increase I might get back into them again. Anthony
