Well, it first started when one of my friends told me about this place in the latter half of 2005.
I was astounded by the amazing deals that were to be found! After coming occasionally solely to check the "Video Game Deals" section, I decided I'd snoop around the other forums.
I saw the trading area and decided I'd take a gander at some of the threads... and wow! I saw every game I have ever wanted, and decided that I must partake in trading here at CAG. I ended up making around 10 deals the first week, and I had become obssessed with visiting the trading threads many times per hour, like I do today

.
Since then, I keep coming back for more deals, and man, I can't get enough of em'. I've spent so much money, but in my eyes, it's all been worth it.
Another aspect is the community. Everyone I've talked to has been incredibly nice to me, I've never been scammed, and I've gotten great deals when I'd have spent twice as much on eBay. Things like this topic also proove my point. I thank you for doing this, doodle777_98, and I thank the CAG community for being so nice and helpful in the making of my game collection!
And lastly, since discovering this whole new world of finding deals and trading, I've set myself up for a busy summer! I've got a backlog of at least 80 games :lol:
