Davey | 7 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Hi there! I guess I will start off with my name. It's Davey. I was pretty surprised, too. not very clever, but hey, it does the job and is readily available as a handle almost everywhere. Land locked in the middle of Central Canada, I have my gig as Davey's Gaming selling video games, pokemon and comic books at local farmers markets. The closest gamestop to my house is an hour(ish) drive, legitimately two towns over, and I have a membership with the agricultural society to sell/trade/table said collectables. Needless to say, business is terrible, but my collections have suddenly started looking really nice since starting the vending gig. Sound a little weird? I mean, the kid who got his members card ahead of me was there for breeding cattle and openly laughed with his dad when they found out I'm a game vendor, who needs a "cattlemans license" to sell nintendos and pohkeemans. I am sure this is how every game vendor gets started. or ranchers. Around here at least? But that aside, 44 year old. Been collecting games for over a decade, but have not stopped gaming itself since the mid 80's. I love everything about gaming and the many different aspects and cultures that go with it. And almost anything nerdy. New to pokemon and working on figuring that scene out. Got back into comics reigniting a childhood passion and now spend the better part of my time scouring the internet for the awesome, sought after, and needing a home in my collections. I have two daughters who not only really like having a gamestop (my living rooom) at their disposal but help keep me in the loop in what's good. They both eyball and mentally pick apart what's on display for solid mental notes on what to get on top of should the worst happen to me or if I just get lost in a Y'all Mart to never return. Makes me hopeful that maybe they will wanna take up the hobby, or join in on the current collection. Gaming is something the three of us kinda all bond over, which is amazingballs. My parents got games to get rid of us, not to play with us. So being the best kid I can be, if I'm not online or with my kids, you'll find me our at the skatepark or pretending that I am still a musician, but really just a drummer with health problems. If being a drummer wasn't enough to keep me from being a real musician, then the narcolepsy sure did that in. And contributed to being a world class napper. I am happy to have found this place, excited to see so many like minded humans, and to have finally made it to the end of my babbling and too long hello. I type like I talk and am bad for the babble, so my apologies ahead of time if my posts look like crap at first. I assure you, it's either sarcasm, or really poor communication skills. Working on it. I look forward to seeing the pics, stories and posts! Cheers! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
