Yes. I do own Jerry's Eli's ladder.

Hey Dino, Thanks for the nod. I have been in this hobby for more than 20 years now. I have a pretty extensive collection, but it is not often photographed. Here is a picture that I took a few minutes ago. Many veteran collectors know me, but I'm usually pretty low key. I usually, buy, sell, trade and chat in private. I'm typically seen at the CGE auction bidding from the back row. I'm listed in most of the registries and I've been known to play the occasional, elaborate practical joke. (Yes, those games are all real and they are all mine).

#19 is mine

nice stuff!

Very nice!

...and Atlantis II Looks nice!

Based on what you have written with proper documentation, you can write off expenses like a millionaire boss. You just have to take the time to do the math and calculate your expenses. In the end, you probably won't pay much, if anything, in taxes.

Side deal...

I'll take a CIB copy!

Definitely a good buy!

The Vectrex is one of my favorites! Next to my Atari 2600, it is probably the classic system I play the most. ...I'm still trying to hunt down that one elusive cartridge....

I use a Ben Heck custom Atari 2600 handheld for testing carts on the go.

So you are a hoarder with OCD...double whammy on you! OCD ? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

If you like to overpay for things, I have plenty of things to sell you!

You should pick up one of these. Dreamcast Diver 2000: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 110669247057

Awesome, now I can have play atari on my iphone. I guess I can sell my collection now....

At least one of them is listed twice. So we are still at 20 or less...so far.

The problem is that eBay is a publicly traded company and must appease the shareholders with continued profits and growth. Since they are not growing at the same rate they used to, they must increase revenues. Unfortunately, instead of being innovative, they have chosen to gouge their current revenue stream (sellers). Eventually, this idea will fail. eBay is probably making more money of some items than the sellers. I'll bet that somewhere in all of this is a nice class action lawsuit.

...and don't forget...themotherinlaw has one she is going to list on eBay...eventually...

You don't wanna know...

I have one sitting on my desk...it's where I keep my stash of NZT.

Nice collection.

atari181 Considering what he paid, I don't think he wanted anyone to know he was the buyer...

Oh, man! Nice! So is that a patience = "Keep looking and eventually you'll find your own"? Or patience = "Hold on a moment and I'll sell you one of mine"? He means keep looking. I think Nofrills100 might be a hoarder. I think I saw him on an episode of HOarders last year. He is always posting pictures of 5-10 of the same thing.
