The reality is that I am a very busy person and have limited time to spend on the hobby. I also have limited space given that I live in the middle of Tokyo. Many of these boards go into my storage area where it becomes very hard to get to things quickly as I fill them up like an expert Tetris player. I have 3 storage closets which would probably add up to be as big as a Western bathroom but I stuff over 1000 PCBs in them. Even when I need to get something out of there, it can take up to an hour...some pieces would take half a day to remove. Imagine a wall of Sega Model 1/2/3 boards with shield cases along with namco ones.

You are the only person who donated for that post, IIRC, and we all thank you for that. The average price of one of those boards was around $500 USD after shipping. Things like Sega Netmerc and Cyber Sterra cost me several thousand each and that was after networking with collectors to get to point to purchase them. I am slowly working through them as I get to them but I rather spend more time on acquiring rarer boards and particularly games on life support (anything with batteries). I recently came in contact with a collector who has the original Japanese OutRun using a battery backed up FD1089 that is undumped. That will be more of a priority for me as it is not in my hands and requires the assistance of others to get it dumped. However, for that post, PM me your preference of what you would like to see dumped and I will bump it up. Boards that require full dumps like Netmerc will take me awhile to get to. Anything with flash ROMs needs to go to Smit.

As Smit pointed out, I don't think any other person who has publicly dumped more games than I have in the last year. MAME has very noticeable gaps when it comes to Japanese versions and I'm filling them out. Another game I will dump soon is the Japanese version of Air Rescue. That cost me over $500, no donations.
