Well, it happens every year around this time -- there's so much great stuff to buy, as people start to put away money for the holidays. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but today seems to have been the opening rounds of this phenominon. Right now, IMO, it's a great time to get some good deals on tough-to-find games -- don't wait until December (or even mid-November), as that's when prices sky-rocket, all the way through to February (people have holiday money they're itching to spend). For example, I just picked up a Pesterminator for $10 (to replace my sun-faded copy). Not a super deal, but not bad either.

Right now there's a NWC 1990, a bunch of test equipment, tons of sealed games (such as a Cheetahmen II), several black version Color Dreams games, some pretty rare CIB games, etc. In the next month, we'll see several of the rarer games up frequently: Panesians, Cheetahmen II, Caltron 6-in-1, Stadium Events, and if we're lucky, a Myriad 6-in-1 (or two!).

I personally plan on re-vamping my saved searches over the next few days to make sure I don't miss anything.

I know, I picked the hardest time of the year to try and save money. There are always so many deals this time of the year. I hope I can stay strong and not spend much $$$. I need to sale all my spare ebay junk and get some extra cash that I can play around with.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
