So how often or when or how do you buy your tg16 games

After having most of what I want and having one of these

I am good and give two shits anymore.  It's like Arkhan said earlier, thrill fun and prices make for me not caring and being happy with what I have now.

If I want to play a game I try to buy it, if the price is unreasonable then I find an alternative way to play it. Most modern games are affordable, and "collector prices" don't benefit the developers or publishers so I have very little guilt using a everdrive to play the games that are unreasonably priced, but I am less of a collector and more of someone who likes to have games on hand to play when the opportunity arrives.

IMO, You pretty much have 2 choices:  1.  If you are starting from nothing and you can afford it, buy big Lots and sell off what you don't want.  That's about the only way to make it affordable.  2.  Patience Patience Patience sometimes it may feel like you will never find what you are looking for, but don't get hasty.  I've waited years for specific titles to come up at a reasonable price.  I've gone months without buying anything, the make multiple purchases in the span of a few days because the right deals come up.  Method 2 requires you need you have the money to buy quickly  with minimal decision time.  Good deals don't last long

THIS GUY!

I get mostly from facebook groups and occasional ebay purchase. You have t be patient though, the deals still happen but not often. Like said above. Ill go months without a single purchase then all of a sudden im buying 5 to 10 games at a time! This is the only system im interested in so I dont mind paying a tiny bit more but often times I dont have to. Also as stated before, buying lots. Another thing that helps is not being a stickler about condition. Tru I only collect CIC games but i dont really care about the condition.

schweaty's option 1 is pretty much how i have obtained my entire pce/turbo collection that i currently have.  i was one of the crazies in early 2000's and sold most of my originals when i needed money after college.  i have since recouped all the titles and many many more using that strategy.  best score was my free USA Cotton after selling off the lot i bought it in.
