  1. haha I known Mike for a long time. maybe since late 90's? I went to his house when he lived in Jersey and kinda seen the behind the scene of his work. It was pretty nuts and the volume of games he has was unbelievable. Back in early 2000's I was out of work from a knee accident and operation. So I offered I would help him out in return for some games! since I couldn't go to work for months and pulling my hair out! So he had me testing games, systems, controllers, cleaning Atari games which he had no shit well over 7 to 10 thousand of them! after a week or so there was no end in sight. So how he did this, pull orders, post office, countless trips to the storage units, pulling big orders that people never follow though with? being a dad of three and husband?? F THAT.

     

    I kinda know after he moved to Florida he still has storage units of shit up here? Not 100% but think he has a full time job working in a whole other field with thoughts of maybe getting out of the gaming market? So the last couple of years I can see how he has started to slip on his end. And I know if he knows that something is broken or doesn't work it goes into the broken or non working pile and would never sell knowing this.

     

    Above are just some of the true facts I know about the dude. Is he cheap on buying games? yeah maybe? Is it wrong not to return an email or phone call yup totally!! do I see him putting in the time on doing a new web site and doing a complete inventory of 50,000 games of every type of condition nope! is his current site out of date yup maybe 15 years out of date!!

     

    well that's it for me! hahaha
