Space is a problem, I keep running out of walls to put shelves on :)

I've started putting things in suitcases under the bed.

Video games are extortionate, except ps3, xbox360 games, which are currently pretty cheap.

I got lucky with mega drive/Genesis games when I found a stash of them in a charity shop for next to nothing a few years ago, unfortunately that only happened to me once, I think recently charity shops check everything on eBay to price stuff, so you sometimes see crazy prices on old rubbish because "it is on eBay for that much", sure but it probably never sold at that price. :)

Yes, they all check price online now, almost no chance to get a good find. 15-20 years ago I use to go to second hand shop and get out with a bag full of old Nintendo games for 50 bucks. Now you can barely buy 2 average games in loose for that price, at least in my country.

Yep, though my way round it is to be friendly with the staff and let them know the things i look for, sometimes, they will tell me when something comes in and give it to me at a decent price ;) Nintendo games are the worst though, i gave up collecting SNES games as i can't afford anything that i want.
