    I feel this. I sold a handful of games that I had no attachment with to a local shop a week ago, just to feel it out. Even though it wasn't much, it was the first culling of my collection in quite a long time. Now i have a few expensive items that I'm wondering if i bring to the shop also, or if I just sell them online myself.

    It’s tough to do, going through and paring down the collection. It’s important though to keep a loose grip on material things, making sure we own them and not the other way around; for me, selling or giving away things I know I’m not going back to or have no real connection to is helpful and refreshing. Great video and good luck selling part of your collection!

    Good job recognizing what makes you happy in regard to collecting. I would feel claustrophobic looking at my endless boxes of sports and magic cards.
    Sure I could have saved them until I'm almost dead, and min/max my IRL score, but I got the most joy from sharing with friends and Randos. Offering them a chance to enjoy something they never thought was feasible.
    The second hand elation and positive vibes I experienced made me love the hobby more than ever, and in an entirely new way. Absolutely no regrets, and yeah $80,000 never hurts.

    Love me some Windjammers!!!! Then again I love Neo Geo in general! Did not know that P4G limited edition was worth that much! I guess due to it being sealed? Anyway that's great that you went through with it Mort! During the height of the pandemic, i was unemployed for 2 years. Now before you feel bad for me, I quit the job I was working at (at the time) due to not feeling safe working there while it was going on. I did the same exact thing you did during those 2 years, i went through multiple game collections for various consoles pulling games out I either didn't play or questioned why I had. I was surprised with the amount of games I pulled out of my collection, and was willing to sell. At that time, it worked out great for me! It also felt good to downsize my collection (if that makes any sense). I'm proud of ya man! Good luck with meeting your deadline!!!!

    I did a huge purge of my PS1 and PS2 collection several years ago to a local store who gave me great value (even gave me full value on my Suikoden II, because they wanted it for their personal collection). It was always a cool thing to look at on the shelf, but I barely ever played them anymore, and being able to pay off an entire new gaming PC was a fairly nice trade-off.

    Very interesting method of selling off your collection, similar to all the resellers having a cabinet at retro stores. However, this feels more like an art gallery. Other than the ebay fees and everything you discussed, I'm wondering what was or how that aha! moment came to sell off in this way.

    If I made a video about my current collecting and gameplaying habits (along with my logic for both,) this would be me in the video instead of you. If I was only allowed to keep one PS Vita game in my collection, it would definitely be Uncharted: Golden Abyss. I've reduced my overall game collection of thousands by 25% in the last 2 years and said multiple times I wanted a curated collection as well. So far, it's working for me. Even with all of the emotions, at the end of the day, it's SO liberating. Good luck to you sir. I know exactly how you feel and what you are going through.

    My most valuable Vita games are the Spider-Man, Sly Cooper 1-2/3 and Thieves in Time, Ridge Racer, WRC4 and Farming Simulator 2018. Yes, I bought these for our eight year old son, but it shows the bizarre nature of the market that ordinary used games may now cost double of their original recommended retail price.

    Damn as a ps vita collection I understand you. Gladly i just got every vita game that’s sony published worldwide physically and every ps vita game that’s have hebrew/greek in the boxes and that’s was difficult to get.
    Now my goal with my vita collection is to get every fighting game on the console (not mma/wrestling/battle arena games just normal fighting games) just need to find injustice 1.
    other goal i got with the vita is getting 100 physical games for the console, currently i own 83 physical games on the console (i own even more because i have couple of digital games on my PSN account and i sometimes buying digital only ps4 games with vita versions as cross buy games when they on sale’s) still need to find copies of silent hill, odin sphere, catherine full body and few more.
    My favorite game that’s i got on my vita is the ratchet & clank trilogy just because ratchet & clank is one of my favorite franchises and basically this game made me start to collect every game on the vita that’s got a hebrew/greek release a journey that’s took me 2 years and 3 months.

      Vita was never complete. But towards the end of its life, a few of the games had super low print runs mixed with ultra high demand, which created a bit of a problem.
      N64 was a joy to collect for. I don’t see myself selling the collection, but would love to add a few of the ultra rare variants. There’s a Rampage big box and Tarzan big box I’d love to find one day. Still also need the Sculptors Cut manual.
