Old Time Lurker Deciding to De-cloak

Hello All,

I'm by no means new to the Nintendo scene, I've been buying off of Ebay since 1999, and I've been lurking Digitpress since around 2001, and Nintendoage for maybe 2.5 years. I've gone by many different names on collector forums, but I've made sure to keep a very low profile. I'm one of those semi-paranoid guys that doesn't want anyone to know what is in his collection, for fear of being robbed (it's happened to me before unfortunately). I haven't decided yet if I want to share the contents of my collection publicly. 

Lurking has been getting  pretty boring recently, and I've decided that I might as well start building a positive rep for myself instead of being the guy who only uses message board accounts to buy stuff.

Besides collecting NES, I'm a huge fan of Late 80's/ early 90's toys, fads, designs, shows, music, and culture.

I'm currently living in the Midwest, completing my PHd in Accounting at a very prestigious University (I want to be a Professor/Researcher  image ).

    I was a military kid, so I lived my childhood in 4 year segments in 3 different countries and 2 different states. I lived in San Pedro, California from 1991-1995. It was a great time, and a great place to be during it. We were right next to the ocean, and I have wonderful memories of playing games like Super Metroid while looking out the window, watching the waves crash against the shore.

    Yep it sure was. I love 90's Nick, it was cram packed with amazing shows (Pete & Pete, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Salute Your Shorts, Legend of the Hidden Temple, etc). Speaking of that, I'm still searching for episodes of Nick Arcade, I have like 4-5 of 'em but I'd love to find the complete series. I wish Nick would release all these old shows, either on DVD or for download through Amazon or iTunes.
  • Welcome, glad to have you. You'll not find a more open and honest bunch on the net, but I understand not letting your guard down. Was stuff stolen right out of your house? I have stuff stolen from me all the time, but people just use Paypal for it normally.
  • Enjoy your stay, dude!

    Yep I was burglarized. Luckily the burglars just grabbed my PS2, Xbox, and GC, leaving behind all of the older games and hard or impossible to replace items. I'm naturally a pretty cautious person, so having my living space violated only made it worse.

    Amen on the Paypal comment, its been ages since I sold on Ebay, but even being a BUYER with Paypal now is aggravating, with the forced bank account linking and zero customer service. I feel for ya. 

    I feel like I already know most of you since I've been reading your posts for years. It feels kinda weird image .
  • Welcome man! Very sorry to hear about your stuff being stolen... that is a big fear of mine

    Same here, I was robbed, and all they took was my N64 and the 92 loose games I had for it at the time. But still, I'm a lot more cautious now and have several security measures to protect myself now (and catch the bad guys image
