Just joined today!
Hello everyone,
My name is Michael. I've been collecting Nintendo games for a few years now, starting with the N64 system. I purchased a lot of games from someone local, and he felt that I overpaid for what I was buying (the games were CIB and so was the system). In return of me over compensating him, he threw in a few vintage games. They too were CIB games for the original Nintendo (NES). Seeing those games complete in the box and in excellent condition threw me into this obsessive and compulsive hobby of collecting Nintendo games.
Since then, I've been mostly buying NES games and checking them off of my list. If I buy a 'lot' of games, some being complete, others being loose, I'll try to look for auctions on eBay for just boxes or manuals and fill in the gaps on my shelves (this becomes expensive, so I would rather just buy CIB from the get go). I haven't been focusing on the SNES or N64 lately, but I do still purchase games I find when the price is right. Among those systems, I'm trying to buy the NES Classic Series for the Gameboy Advance. I really don't plan on having a collection of Gameboy games, but if there's something in particular that I'm interested in I'll make the purchase.
Right now, I have about 250 CIB NES games, 30 CIB SNES games, and 30 N64 games. I haven't been keeping track of the SNES and N64 games, although I should. My main focus in collecting is to have a complete collection of the US released NES games CIB. With that said, I'm always buying games.
What I'm looking for right now is:
CIB NES games
NES Boxes
NES Manuals
If you extra games, boxes or manuals laying around, please let me know and we'll work out a price for them. I am not in the collecting business to make money, therefore I only purchase what I need and not duplicates of things. I have plenty of duplicate stuff laying around that I've been meaning to throw on eBay, but I figure I could start a thread sometime in the near future on this forum to give you collectors an advantage.
I've attached a couple pictures of my NES collection. I recently moved a few months ago and did take any pictures before packing everything up. So the pictures don't include what I have up to date.
I look forward to buying and trading games!

Welcome man! Your collection looks a lot like mine did awhile ago, especially since you have all your games organized by company.
That's great that someone noticed.
Thanks to everyone for the compliments!
