Any of you guys ever find some games,and when you get home you realise,you have those or that game already? Unless you're looking for doubles or triples,thats okay.I often forget what games i have or dont.This happens too many times.Looks like I'll have to make a list of all games i have.

Im up for trades and yes, i do it all the time. I just did it yesterday with a lynx game

Oh well, check out my FT/FS list if you have anything to trade, cya

[SRGilbert]

No, but it seems like I've passed up games because I thought I already had them! Now when I go out to flea markets and yard sales, I keep a pda on me with a spreadsheet that has everything.

Even worse, I just paid ~$125.00 for a boxed homebrew that I already had CIB.

Yep... I've done it a lot over the years.

That's why I made my database. I also passed over a lot of games, because in mind, I already had them at home. Over the years, after passing up that title for a few times, I CONVINCED myself that I owned that game already. Then when I created my database, I still wonder where that game is.

 

I've done that a few times as well.

Luckily I have not spent $125 on one. But if you do something like that, all you can do is just chuckle at yourself and relist that thing! (BTW... what homebrew is $125?)

Didn't quite get to the buying part but I have stared at a game and wondered "Do I have this already?". That's when I decided to stop buying and start playing!

 

Well, maybe not stop buying completely...just slow it down a little

[Cobra Commander]

I sometimes buy stuff that I'm not sure about. Especially if the label is really good and the price is right. I upgrade my Activision stuff whenever I can, or if I find the occasional common CIB in the wild.

[classicgamingguy]

Yep...already, and I just really started collecting. For some reason I ended up with two boxed Berzerk's, but really only wanted one complete with the instructions! On the other end, I thought I had a cart only Pitfall, but ended up with a boxed one but NO cart duplicate. Heh..

I do that sometimes. I think "Hey, this doesn't sound like something I have" when I go to the store, and then buy it and realize I already have it. When I ask for something on AA, I make sure I don't have it before I ask for it, though.

[Dauber]

I've done worse...there was at least one time that I saw something on eBay that I was sure I didn't have. I even checked my list at rfgenerations.com and SAW the game on the list and thought, "Now, there's no way I have that one already! I must have put that there by mistake!" and of course, my list was correct!
