Sealed Game Collector Demographics POLL!

21-30 and poor.

What are we classing as "Poor" and "Wealthy"? What are your definitions of these terms?

I'm almost 27; Have a half decent full-time job, although it's nothing spectacular; And virtually no responsibilities (Still live with parents due to ever rising house prices), so therefore I have a high disposable income. I would categorise myself as being "Of medium wealth", as I am not hard-up, but then again i'm not exactly Lord of the manor.

Let's put it this way - I feel i'm not exactly in the same league as those who collect Neo Geo AES games or sealed Snes / NES / N64 games, and I do not own such luxuries like plasma screen Tv or a car. I do spend a fair share of my salary on my collection though, as well as Dvd's and Cd's amongst other things.

My income is 600$/month. I guess i can be considered "poor" comparing with the rest of the people here.

Thanks for the replies so far. I was just curious because I see some auctions go so high on ebay and I wonder who can afford to buy those. I would expect it to be rich people who could care less about how much they spend, but it seems like a lot of us are just average wealth, avid video game players who like to collect.

seems like i'm the oldest collector here so far ?? i just a big kid at heart though

In comparison, I take home roughly £1200 every four weeks after tax deductions etc. I consider this "Average"

I am a poor student

what about all the loans and grants you get , you've plenty money !!!
i dont even have a job just now , poor me

all people so poor here.. yet they buy sealed FF2 for thousands..

the average age seems to be 27 or something like that ^^

I'd consider myself as adverage...
I'm 20 and have a full time job as a carpenter that brings in £280 (after tax) per week but i also do some discos and run an ebay shop on the side

Well..I'm 24 (or, I will be in 1 month) and my income is about $3000 per month after taxes are taken out. So I would consider myself of average wealth, though I live at home, so I'm not paying rent or anything...would be a lot more had it not been for Uncle Sam

Guess that's the price you pay to live in the USA hahaha

3000 Dollar is a lot...isn't it?
You live in New York, right??
How much are the rents there??
Do you have an appartment or a flat???

yeah I live in New York...I live at home with parents and sister...rent is about $1000 a month or so for us, which is not bad. If you live near where I work on Wallstreet, you're easily paying $4000+ a month, which is why you'll need about 25 roommates in order to afford that

My girlfriend has like 3 roomates, and she's STILL paying about $800 a month!
