 $.$ and  %)% to AP !

You have a whole new addiction to feed, and before you do anything - Don't impulse buy your first game. ASK lots of questions here.

There's a database - www.ipdb.org - these have almost all games recorded. so if there is a particular theme, year, toy or designer - they are all searchable.

Buying - Privately, from a collector is the safest way to get into the hobby. Keep away from eBay, as most are advertising their overpriced games. Some private sellers will have good deals, but most "play dumb" and the game could have issues.

After 20 posts on AP, you will have access to the trading section where members have their games listed for sale. There probably 10 - 20 games for sale.

I'm in the middle of setting up my new premises, so if you are local, you can come and have a look at some games.

A whole "new world" is about to open for you - take your time, ask many questions, and don't impulse buy.

Enjoy the forum !
