Well...yeah.  For a long time, this stuff was considered junk.  You couldn't give it away.  JAMMA cabs went for like $50 for fully working games, and they'd toss classics on the burn pile.

Consoles?  Fu-ged-abou-dit.  Commanded measley prices.

Now that this stuff has come back in style, it's commanding high prices.  I only wish I'd gotten into games ten years ago, when I had money, and did nothing except piss it away.

Hind site is 20/20.

But here's a foresight - what are we throwing away today that's worth money 10 years from NOW?

Got to be a trend here.  What was popular with 18-25 year olds 7-10 years ago that they will pay for when they are 35-45?

Does that mean it is about time for slot cars to come back big?  About 20 years ago, I spent most of my senior year of high school racing HO scale slots at the local hobby shop.

Keep seeing these things in second hand stores (probably not the exact same ones). Ugly little demons.
