Collecting Patterns - Steady, Binge, or In-Between?

We've all heard of the term "binge drinking" and "binge eating", where the situation involves excessive eating or excessive alcohol intake within a short period of time (usually for a few hours to a few days). I thought it might be interesting to see if there are any binge collectors out there, and just the collecting behaviors as a whole.



Remember to keep things in moderation guys!

    Bit of both, actually. The effort I put forth is pretty steady, but I tend to go weeks (or months) without finding anything then suddenly come across large finds.

    I definitely binge collect at times. I put away a lil $ every week , as long as it doesn't affect my family needs. When I get a nice chunk of change I'll binge.

    Steady. I only get in a spending mood every few months when I sell off a bunch of finds/dupes that I've accumulated. I'll shop at thrift stores and local game stores pretty frequently and let the finds come to me. I'm in no rush

    None of the above would be a nice option. I've had a binge moment here or there when I get a new system/system back in my hands, but other than that I don't bother exactly. If anything call it a steady drip because I buy PS1 games 99% of the time when I can buy them locally only so it has to pop up and be something I'd put my time into to bother with it so I can go a week or a month or more before I grab one. I also like to get things for the PC Engine and Virtual Boy and well yeah that's mostly like those weird hens teeth you can never find around your area, so you just buy the stuff online generally spaced out and when the deal is too good not to take. Gameboy family is similar too as a blend as they pop up local, but online sometimes has the better price or item if I'm actually after a title. Beyond that Nintendo buying outside of the Switch (non limited release stuff) is just toxic so I bought kits and avoid it unless a rare random deal pop ups as it's not worth the anger and frustration.

    None of the above. My collecting is sporadic because it relies heavily on games found in the wild. I can go months with no finds and then bam, suddenly have a great find.
