Message: [QUOTE="Waffles, post: 6140, member: 703"] Thank you! I would absolutely love to read your experiences (and I highly doubt they'd be anything close to "boring"). I feel that older generations had a much easier time of it when retro collecting just started because they could judge both prices and intent better, meaning that their tolerance for BS would be much lower when tried to be taken advantage of by some "gold digger". I have seen it happen on many of the boards I was a member of at the time and, well, I was 14 when this whole thing started, 16 when AVGN became popular and 17 when I started dealing myself. It truly showed. There is one incident that I sorta regret leaving out because it taught me really well not to trust anyone at first glance, even if they had "references". Suffice to say, guy was extremely aggressive and I should have never allowed him to talk to me like that when I was 17 and he was 42. [/QUOTE]
