    I vaguely recall buying it for under $500. Some of the others in my collection are so rare you just can't find them anymore at all.

    The main reason I haven't built all of them yet is time and space to put them, it was never intended to be worth something. I suspect there's a house deposit in there somewhere if I ever need it though.

    I have my own Snoopy collector's item. Signed for me when I met him in his studio many years ago.

    IMG_4477.PNG Picked up this Nintendo last month, can sell it for just over 300% profit. Not bad for 30 days work. But do I sell or keep? It's just like property(hold/sell) except I enjoy playing Nintendo so will likely keep.

    I plan on buying a broken NES or SMS or other such system for next to nothing.

    I will then replace it's guts with a Raspberry Pi for $35 and install the emulators and roms from said system, then give to my nieces and nephews XMas 2017 :).

    I also plan on building a full sized arcade cabinet to be run off a Pi when I move up to QLD.
