160 hrs? You must be kidding, you forgot to mention the 4-car empty garage to setup and play the dam thing [8|] an some say WITP takes to much time to play! [:-]

As one large closet and several under counter cupboards will attest to I to had the board game bug and bigger always seemed better but after spending several weeks (week ends) playing SPI's TSS I lost the board game buying altogether due to
1. lack of players
2.lack of space
3.to much time fighting about the rules
4the effort just to examine and move a bunch of counters being careful to not violate some stupid rule
For those of you who still aspire to buy collect and even play such games as this i congaratulate you and feel sorry for you at the same time LOL I am glad that I no longer long for a game on a board with several thousand counters.

Now if I could just get some person who would give me a good price for all the games,mags, board games large and small (including some rare SPI and other games) I would consider it a blessing...may be eBAY if I ever get the time to even think about making a list of them (SIGH)

I have seen game lists from various collectors and what they are willing to pay for say SPI games of old. SPI used to publish Quad game Packs that were 4 different battles using the same rules that in some cases could be combined into one game.
The one's that seem to most valuable today are games that did not sell well well then. A few years ago I saw a list of prices and the SPI quad on the Crimeian War was worth at least $300-450 depending on condition. I should dig out my copy along with others and list them on eBy but I just can't seem to find the time and interest to do so.
