Just a thought, would it be of interest/use to add a valuation section to the sales area?
That way if someone was looking at buying/selling an item but was unsure of value they could ask the community for advice.
I also collect vintage Arcade Machines/Pinball Tables and have found this sort of category very usefull in there forums.

Arcade machines hold alot of memories for me, i grew up playing them before the home consoles become the thing, i miss the old games so i am in the early stages of building a full size arcade machine, I have a few spare pc monitors and a raspberry pi and a box of buttons and joysticks, I might just have to get my atari out of the box for a test run.

Lovely collection, I wish i had kept more of my games, The good news is i have kept everything from megadrive onwards mainly boxed and safe and i have a 28" 4:3 crt screen to play on, I just need carefree time.

I started out on the Atari 2600 woody, but this link below might jog your memory on consoles before atari, i bet early complete boxed ones are worth mega bucks now.

Yes i remember wasting my youth standing at those machines, and i have just "wasted" another hour on pacman using my raspberry pi emulator, not as nice as the original console version but still a nice bit of a flash back.
