Wilson,
so it is roughly what I payed for the games... I found a black Jack with box and instructions going for $16 on ebay a couple of days ago. I did not buy it because soon I am without income (between school and work).
Talking about growth of interest... when I began collecting in 1999 there wasn't many webpages out there. The biggest ones were Clint's handhelds, Fredrik's webpage, angry bunny, obscure pixels and gameandwatch.com
And they haven't changed much during the years. I think the best ones now are this place (replacing the otaku on gameandwatch.com), tricotronic (.de). Liquid crystal display land was quite good for a while. But to find good pictures on handheld games one have to go to Electronic plastic which is a great German site, but not for Game&Watch.

Back to the topic of new collectors, It seems "Damian2272" from Australia and "Pheonixstyling" from the UK are buying quite a lot as of recent. Maybe someone should give them a friendly tip off about the forum?

I've been doing that for ages, not sure it's working, however a few new people got some of my last items, so I guess we will C.

Hi, I'm selkeni (from Spain) and i have been collecting game & watches since some months ago. I loved the idea of talking with other collectors, specially the big ones i see on ebay (im h_esp there) so thats why i joined u. (I used to read this forum sometimes but never joined dunno why) My collection is composed of (all boxed some MIB and some NIB) - Super Mario NWS - Donkey Kong 1 MS - Donkey Kong 2 MS (french) - Donkey Kong Hockey MVS - Donkey Kong 3 MVS - Mario Cement Factory NWS - Mario & Luigi MS - Blackjack MS so far and growing, and it would be bigger if i had more money. I will try to post some photos soon.
