- A retro video game collection can be a great thing, but how do you know when it's time to sell? Or that you should? Or shouldn't?

Little discussion vid today with some Pros and Cons! SLAP subscribe if you are new. Or don't it's cool.
I just wanna sell my sealed GC Resident Evil Code Veronica X in near mint condition. Wtf do i do
@@SRF_1031why not sell it online ? Ebay or Etsy ?
Once I got the Arcade 1UP Pac-Man hdmi plug n play with the SD Slot and the Super Console X Pro.. I been debating selling all my old SNES , Gen , NES ,SMS , Sega CD, N64 games Carts/Consoles . My Dreamcast is a tuff call I might stay with that 1
I would love to have all the money in theory, but I can't physically or mentally push myself to do so, lol. My collection is personally complete to me; Nes to Series X. Possibly if I could sell exactly what I wanted to for the amount I wanted at once. I would and be content for it. I just wouldn't want holes in my collection.
About preserving games, that’s an interesting topic. I always wanted to have every game I played in physical format. But as times passes games changes a lot.
Si for example in the 80s I was playing contra on my NES, this game is around 30 mins to 40 mins long, so I played it maybe like 1000 times, so the music and everything from this game is stock on my head. So it feels nice to have the original al cartridge. And with new games, like the tears of the kingdom, I played around 3 months, I have the cartridge, but I think I will never play again, this game is just too long, and I have so many games on my shelf. So around this year I was thinking, will I buy the new god of war for the ps5, right now is on ps plus, if I pay 1 or 2 months I can finish it, and that’s enough, if I had the game, probably I will never play again. And there’s another thing, when the PSN for ps5, when they pull the plug, all DLC and patches will be lost forever, so even if you have the disc, if there is some major error in the game and you need that patch, you will not be able to play the game. So it is better to play them now. I think it is more important to play them, and they are so long we are going to play them just once, so maybe digital version is not so bad after all, after finishing the game, the game doesn’t use space on your basement.
I’m a 51 year old game veteran I’ve been playing since pong and zx80 I’ve pretty much played and owned I would say 80% off every console ever to come out since early 80s I bought then traded them in as I went and have no regrets but now I’m buying back the ones I loved and keeping a nice little special collection my advice is buy and sell as you go keep the special things I have sold a few I wish I hadn’t but if I had held on to them I wouldn’t have experienced the huge amount of games and consoles over the years only now later in life I realise how special and privileged I have been to have played such a vast amount keep playing game brothers enjoy life I have some amazing memories from such a great hobby
47 here and pretty much feel the same as you, but due to the horrible game preservation , I do absolutely regret selling some stuff. Luckily I also kept a large majority. To each their own. Game preservation needs to be a serious issue that is solved.
Funny how you call yourself a veteran, as in like a batch of honor you granted yourself 😂
I’ve sold 75% of my collection so far but lately I’ve been having trouble getting rid of it . I definitely seeing a slowdown on sales.
Ya it took me 3 years to sell off my small collection.
I have a local store that just did a trade event offering 80% of value on $30 and up games. I moved a good chunk of ps4, 3ds and switch stuff that I wouldn't have gotten close to 80% of value. I used the store credit to get a cib dreamcast, Futurama on ps2 and stunt race 64 as part of a B2G1F sale they were having, and I'm much happier having those three items than the stuff I traded in.
No way. I did that once before, figuring that I could just play the games via emulation, but ended up massively regretting it a few years later. I really missed the experience of playing the games on original hardware, especially because emulation isn't always 100% accurate. Since then, I've rebuilt most of my collection.
Flashcarts exist
Why not just play on original hardware with flashcards? That way, you're not emulating but still play everything you want without cluttering your house. Only thing it's missing is the whole process of switching out games, which I personally couldn't care less about.
Nonsense, playing on original hardware can be done with flash carts.
@@MusicJunkie37 doesn't feel the same as playing on a single game cartridge
"you'll own nothing and be happy" is where we're heading!!!!
Indeed 😊
@@bankhead1hoarding is a pathological condition. So actually, what’s wrong with YOU?
I sold a percentage of my Ps2 collection and Gamecube collection during the covid years, the money was used for new consoles and new experiences rather then the games just sitting on my shelf. I know it's probably not for everyone but that is the path I decided best for me.
Some of my collection went to the samething too.
Same I wanted to play games w my kid so I sold off my PS2 and got us a PS5. I kept my ps3 and wii stuff and house looks so much cleaner
Same here.
You should have kept your GameCube collection
@@sinchman1 I should have for sure, at least up until now anyways. I actually sold that long ago, like 10 years ago & alot of what I had, skyrocketed in price. I did however, just sell that portable screen that was available for it, as I actually forgot I had it, until I ran across it at the beginning of the year & I made a good bit off of it alone.
I have a VERY small collection - only things I find special, with about 125 games. With that being said, the individuals that are buying just to resell and don’t actually CARE about the hobby and are in it for the money-THOSE are the people that grind my gears and really make me not want to have anything to do with it. Especially, since their actions drive up prices for those simply trying to grab a game or two.
Same. I have a small collection of 60 games between Ds, 3ds, Switch, Gamecube, & Xbox one. I feel like resell youtubers are also part of the problem.
How is 125 games a very small collection?
@@vmbo We'll if he has multiple systems it's easy to rack up that number. I use to have a gameboy advance, gamecube, wii, & a switch, & an xbox one x.
I could have 100+ games, but they're split between multiple systems. It's all about perspective.
@@b4rs629 but then it's not a small collection. That's like saying I got a small car collection. Only 12 cars.
The only thing I regret about selling my entire collection is how much I low balled myself. But other than that I completely agree with all the points you touched on in this video. Truth be told you can still be a fan of something without being overly obsessed with it for lack of a better term. I’m forever a teenage retro gamer at heart but I am also an adult with an adult life now where that attention and money needs to be focused elsewhere. And by all means if you have the money to do both collect as much as your heart desires. For me it just came down to having my priorities straight.
I sold games I knew I wouldn't play again, didn't enjoy or didn't have good memories attached. I usually use the money to buy other games/consoles. I think its important to have games you'll enjoy playing and not having them for the sake of it.
In my opinion if you want to have a huge collection and can afford it (space/ financially), I am all for it. Personally, I only have a couple of titles for myself to play and a couple for a collecting. There is no wrong way to have a collection. We need to stop gatekeeping as collectors.
RGT - I needed more space
Also RGT - Buys more Toys to take away the pain 😂
🤣🤣
He regrets it, but won't admit it because it's painful. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't understand why he would sell it unless he was on the verge of homelessness or something.
Cleared mine out during the height of covid,cleared my debt,got a nice chunk for daughters uni,just emulate what I want to play now,don’t really play that much anymore so made sense
I don’t have a huge collection or anything, but it’s pretty reasonable. I like that it all fits in a small area of my house and I have just what I like rather than complete collections. I’m at a point where I can finally not worry about acquiring more stuff and just enjoy what I have. It’s nice having selection and more games than I could possibly finish in a reasonable lifetime :)
I definitely had a downsizing phase and since it’s been more reasonable, I’m confident 99% of what games I kept are quality even if it’s a couple hundred physical or so. A lot of these retro gaming TH-camrs have like 1000s or 10s of thousands…. There’s no way you’re playing all that plus all the digital or ROM stuff.
Ya, I think they just enjoy the collecting games like they're pokemon cards. They be like why do I have 20 copies of Zelda Ocarina of Time for the N64.... like they're og shadowless charizard cards.
@@b4rs629 lol
@@SharifSourour I'm not even joking some dude went to a barn in a middle of nowhere that was filled with games and literally cleaned their shelf of like 40 Zelda Ocarina's.
@@b4rs629 good for reselling I guess!
I always sold my consoles (with the exception of a PS2 slim hanging around) and actually got onto retro gaming, rediscovering it via the Ambernic RG35XX and it's truly the best way to enjoy retro games, on the go with saving I could actually finish games I never could as a kid.
When I started considering buying some retro hardware, the only console I could justify was the Wii exactly because of the motion controls. Emulating that would require the wiimotes and even as knock-off versions at the end it would cost as much as the hardware itself - so I figured I could keep it real with an unmodded Wii and a handful of games I'm interested in.
Never sold anything, but gave away a ton of systems and games over the years to younger relatives and friends. Nes, Snes, N64, Saturn, Genesis, Dreamcast, Ps1, Ps2....wish I still had them.
I literally only want the games I genuinely want to play. Old or new.
A lot of respect for you, dude. Being able to make big decisions in life is really commendable.
Personally, I am building up a small collection of the common main consoles and a small amount of games for each. A lot of it comes from getting to play the games i enjoyed as a kid, or the games i wanted to enjoy, but missed out on. My goal is to have a nice clean set up where i can play almost any system with very little configuration. Like, i dont want to have go behind the tv and reconnect everything just to play on a console. Oddly enough, having an emulation device has driven a lot of this, because I've (re)discovered games from yesteryears.
Unless i wanted to be in gennius book of world records or a professional twitch streamer/youtuber, i would never see the need of owning a huge game collection of games that might just be collecting dust.
On the topic of physical vs digital, i think the moment they (xbox/ps/nintendo) force a digital only console, is the moment i just switch to steam completely. I am still very bitter about nintendo sunsetting the virtual console in favor of switch online. I totally understand why they did it, but it was still a huge slap in the face to anyone who bought digital on the Wii VC, and paid again an upgrade fee for the Wii U VC, on the premise that you could simply have a digital library and not need physical copies. Its also one of the big reasons why i dont really get into games whose primary focus is on online multiplayer. Sure im missing out, but at the end of the day, I'd rather be able to enjoy a game for many years.
“All because you sell your retro game collection, does not mean you’re not a retro gamer anymore.” I feel this, man. I don’t have a collection, never really did other than what I had during the timeframe of that console. I do have modern systems and get great enjoyment from the back catalogs via online services, mini systems, emulators, multi-game collections. I watch a lot of TH-cam channels on the topic as well, but feel that I just wouldn’t fit in if I ever went to a convention. As if I would be shunned or something. I’m sure I’m wrong, but that aura kinda surrounds the community.
Conventions are boring anyways. Just a bunch of people selling stuff for stupid high prices.
Totally think you made the right choice, Shawn. Software emulation is so good now there's barely any difference between real and emulated. I have an O.G. NES, Genesis 1 and Sony PVM and have done input lag tests and determined with the right emulator and variable refresh monitor, you can achieve input lag numbers that rival a real analog setup (expect ~35ms for 60i analog video). And this is all without wasting your money on FPGA-based emulation. I also have a custom arcade cabinet using a FreeSync display that gets crazy good input numbers, plus it can run R-Type, Mortal Kombat, NARC, and NBA Jam at their native 55 Hz rate with zero stuttering and tearing. All emulated.
I'm telling you man, emulation is the way to go. Save your money bros.
Some people prefer to play on original hardware. Idk why buy it is what it is.
@@Mario-zi8wr Sure, I get that, and like I said I have both an NES and a Genesis with flash carts. But I usually just play on emus on my Steam Deck or PC.
I wanna give MvG the biggest super kick of my life. Pin fall counts anywhere. 450 splash into the grave
Good points. For everyone, collecting is going to be a little different.
I go to gaming events, mainly to see what's out there. I love the nostalgic feeling of buying something I may have sold a long time ago, or buying something I wanted but ever got around to getting.
I think I'll keep my retro collection but only build on it once I'm a while when an event is in town.
Ive been collecting for many years. I cataloged everything online and ut came up to shy of 40k. Im debating finally downsizing a bunch of my games, toys and music. I will probably take my time and chip away at it over the winter. Im getting older and you cant take it with you.
I sold my retro gaming collection during the covid19 lockdown and used the money to buy a second property before housing went really high.
That's a huge come up. Gratz!
My problem with.emulation is i can gets too many games easily and ends up not knowing what to play
I’ve actually decided to sell off my Wii and 3ds collections since I’ve recently modded both my 3ds and my Wii
I am a 41 year old man and I will never sell my collection alot of my retro games I have memories of playing with my Dad and now I am making new ones with my kids and they all love the games so I am just handing them down to them plus I have a Chromebook that is just setup for emulation.
I just started collecting for the Switch i'm not selling my games already 😂
you can drop deep in these collections. best advice is to go for your personal nostalgia pieces and really big games ( radiant silvergun, super metroid, silent hill 2, metal slug, sonic2 etc )
I’ve been selling anything that I don’t have any attachment to. My kids get final say on what I sell. I figure it will be their’s one day.
So during my recent move, someone stole my 3DS and it basically broke me collecting wise. If I could dump it all for a good price I would in a heartbeat. The space and stress of worrying about it is too much anymore
I got into retro gaming to relive my childhood in the 90s. Zero regrets with that or the purchases. I've a family and we're building up fun memories around the stuff I own. I'm not selling my growing collection, my kids can sell it or do with it what they want to when I'm dead.
I really don't even have a collection at this point. It doesn't bother me at all, I went back to more modern gaming. I mean I still love my retro, but I went down that road and it ended.
Just before I got my Switch I'd sold my GameCube, Wii, Wii U and PS2 and the 400+ game collection I had for those systems because I realised there wasn't enough time in the world for me to play everything. It was hard to let go because I started collecting when I was 12, but it felt like a huge relief after I'd sold everything
Once you approach 40, you need save states to play these games.
I only keep a retro game if it has sentimental value to me. Anything else and it's just more convenient to use emulation for games not on sale.
Content like this makes rgt 85 super relatable! Thanks bro
I bought your Die Hard Trilogy for the Sega Saturn from Phoenix Resale. Just trying to keep the RGT85 collection alive.
I have a decent size collection of games and systems and I’ve always said if I was tiard of having them or needed money I would sell off what I don’t want and keep what I do. I’m not married to them and can always be replaced.
I sold my collection a long time ago but, I remember a big part of it for me was the enjoyment of looking and finding the games. I started collecting on a whime just one day I was at the flea market and at that time lots of people were selling nintendo games and I was like i'm going to try and collect them all. Little did I know how many there were at the time, I was lucky in the sense it was before ebay started getting popular so I was getting most games like 3 for 5 and no one really knew the value. I discovered funcoland a couple months later and they had a price list for all the games which was a huge help to me now I had not only a list of nes games but how much at least they sell them for and prices changed every month which were way off from what they were actually worth. As I got closer to completing Nes, moved on to Snes, and then N64. It took me a long time to complete nes very little of it came from ebay, every where I went new that had a funcoland I would go as well as blockbuster, hollywood video and independent movie stores flea markets, garage sales ect. I tried to keep the best copies sold off dups to buy missing ones overall it was a very inexpensive hobby as I tried to get deals and sale to keep cost close to nothing. I don't regret selling it other then the fact when I sold it and I looked up some of the stuff I had and what it goes for now kind of sucks but I don't miss the actual collection.
For me I just have original hardware and flash carts for them which make it easier to manage my collection of games and you don't have to worry about cartridges or CDs your gaming room will look a lot neater without having bookshelves of cartridges boxes and CD cases
Some people like having a physical library of game on their shelf to look and and play. Others prefer to sell it all and play it all on one cartridge or console, and that’s totally fine! There is no need to downplay anyone for liking one thing or the other. :)
The only main focuses I have in collecting now are just 6th generation games and Pokémon titles. I know somewhere down the line (especially with the Xbox Marketplace shutting down soon) that there will never be another shot at playing some titles. Also, the Pokémon games I begrudgingly sold as a kid, and in my mind, I’ve been a genuine Pokémon man at heart, so I’m on the hunt for a few DS titles and XD Gale of Darkness. Wish me luck guys
RGT posting an original topic today? I know Spawn Wave was sick this morning but he did post.
I've come to embrace the 'living collection' mentality. Apart from the rare case where you're attached to the specific copy ( childhood copy, gift from someone, specific memories ) and games you're actively playing/ regularly going back to play, throw them all on marketplace for a bit more than they would cost to replace them quickly.
Consider trades and counter offers... but any game that sells for a bit more than cost to replace it quickly is an opportunity to live without it for a while, decide if you actually want it again, and/ or replace it at a more casual pace for less money. The result is a collection getting more tailored to you while having less into it. Get a few people nearby to embrace that mentality and you'll find more titles are readily available locally without them all needing to live on your shelves.
Since 2017/18, I have been selling a bunch of my games. I've been doing in piecemeal. I sold the SNES versions of Aladdin and Lion King because current generation of consoles had the Disney compilation release with Jungle Book. I'm trading in 2 games for 1. If Nintendo announces a Power Rangers compilation or a Simpsons compilation or Quintet trilogy or, in an upcoming Direct at some point, that's like 11 games I'm selling in exchange for the 3 compilations.
I see 2024 as the beginning of the end for me and game collecting. I chose to sell a lot of my pre-Switch titles because 1) It's taking up a lot of space 2) I don't play these games anymore and 3) I'm also diving a bit into either emulating the game or buying the Switch version of the title(Metroid Prime).
I sold some to a local shop. Though I didn't want the games, or didn't play those particular games. I got some money but I should have sold it in a better way. I definitely feel I could have gotten 3x more than I did
No duh
If you're not playing and enjoying your games then don't have them.
People sellin their collection cause the economy is shii
I started emulating in 1997. Thats whats made me to decide to get rid of the stuff I had at the time for a PS1. Bad decision. Now in current times, within the past year and a half I have gotten rid of 2 collections of gameboy stuff, atari 5200 + collections, 2 gamegears + collection, n64+ collection, 2 ps1 & psx + collection, dsi + collection, GBA + collection, 3ds (i like the 2ds better) extra Wiiu console, regular xbox, extra 360, and I think Thats it. I got rid of stuff that didnt matter that much to me, and/or stuff I can Emulate. I got one of the SNES minis with a 1TB external HD with over 20k games. I still have my NES (486 carts) My SNES (75+ carts) SMS (48 carts) 2600 (50+ carts) Wii, Wiiu, 360, ps2, saturn, dreamcast, and Switch .
That stuff is hard for me to sell....BUT I want to sell. All of my other hobbies are expensive. I have first gen dodge neon im messing with (lol) I love cars and have 4 of them. I also play drums and mess with recording and have a small studio. music gear aint cheap. And with game prices being nice to the seller, it feels like a Win/Win
I love Zelda ocarina of Time but every time I play it I just get this feeling I've been there done that and I just can't play it anymore it's not fun but I still enjoy sometimes watching other people play the game on TH-cam
I don’t have a big collection but I have a little bit of GameCube games I’m content with, just need a few more for it. But I buy them to play not sit on a shelf.
It depends on if you play them more than once. If you like playing a game like every year or two, that's one you should keep. If there's something you've had 3+ years and never touched it, you're not going to miss it much.
It’s easier to buy than to sell.
If someone would buy my whole collection right now I wouldn’t haggle at all. I want it gone but the task to sell is so daunting it makes me not want to do it
Still thinking about downsizing as well
i been thinkin bout doin this, get mister for all older consoles and sell them. prices have gone up so high its like wow im not paying 400 dollars for one game. other is space, i got room for them but they do take alot of room. I know mister can do up to some n64 games so anything newer still hold on to, but that would cut huge chunk of my space.
I used to sell my games when I needed the money. I end up regretting it later on.
The thing about game collecting is having sealed games and consoles and also one for playing. I've been gaming since 1977 at age 9 and started collecting in 1985 till today
Do you even make your money back to offset the cost though?
For my I collect only what as you said I feel nostalgic, 3 first gen Gameboys,ps1 PS2, sega genesis. I have like 5-6 games per console and that jt
I'm keeping everything DS/3DS irreplaceable stuff with hardware that can't be emulated
That's honestly all I've been collecting for along with the switch, but I only buy what I know I'll probably like.
@matthewsmith3817 That's good to know. I never got into emulation though.
@matthewsmith3817 It's a shame they can't do the 3D effect too, it looks amazing!
@@b4rs629 Switch for me too. Great machine that might be the last one to take carts 😒
@@mitchyz101 I honestly don't mind it not having the 3d effect because it bothers my eyes on my 3ds.
I'm staring to collect physical games mostly Xbox One because it's cheaper than Series X games.
When I left this world behind, at least my relatives might sell it or do whatever they want with it.
I sold off some bloat. Mostly Limited Run stuff. Took that money and bought a top of the line PC with a 4090. Honestly I have learned what's important to me as a collector and I now am focusing on a more curated collection. Do I need PS2 games that I have never played since I got them? Silent Hill 2 and 3 are big money now - bought them for 2 bucks each - sold them off. I'll probably sell some other games that I don't have an interest in like Smash Brothers and some RPGs. I'll still keep Earthbound and Conker's Bad Fur day since my wife bought those for me. But yeah - if it's not nostalgic or I can't tell you what my motivation for buying it other than it was cheap - I'll get rid of it.
I think this answer depends on everyone, but I sold like 2 years ago all my game boys, my NES, SNES and half of the games of each collection also half my games of the N64, I just kept my favorite games like battletoads, the legend of Zelda, contra. My collection of this retro consoles where not so big, like 30 games for each console. First I regretted a little bit, but then thinking more carefully I don’t play this games that much, I feel so lazy to connect this consoles, because I don’t have the space to have everything connected at the same time, also during the Corona virus I didn’t have that much money to buy games, so with this games I sold I bought newer games for switch.
I still have my famicom AV and my Super famicom, I was going to sell, but, I don’t know why I found a video talking about the Everdrive, this games that you have a sd card inside and you can have all games, but it works in a real console, they are a little expensive, but if you like your consoles, it is completely worth it. I still like my retro consoles, but having so much games uses so much space, and very rare I used them, there is more probability I will use this everdrive cartridge. But I still support newer consoles like ps5 and switch buying the games.
"Should you sell your Retro Gaming Collection?"
No.
Did it. Sold my GameCube collection of 20 games for £250, bought a modded GameCube with 200 games included for £195. No brainier.
How does 1 emulate when sites r not allowing u 2 download roms. Sites say roms not available.
Mine is for sale👌
Best topic ever!!! and very well worded on all counts! PREACH!
I think it's where you are in your life. Being a nerd has it's cost, and for many of us once you get into your 30s or older you might be like I want to have a girlfriend or family and you downsize your stuff to an acceptable level that doesn't overrun your life so you have room for other things and people in it. Do you let people into your space? If it's alienating you from having relationships of any kind, then you should probably make a change. I get people who collect stuff eventually become like dragons and fill their lairs with precious items. I have seen enough hoarders in my family that I don't ever want to reach the point where I feel like I am one too. I don't feel like I am as I currently reorganizing and purging stuff from my life, but I think it's important to reflect on your behavior patterns in whatever you are doing.
Nothing wrong with selling them as long as you don't clickbait your viewers with fake sales results afterwards. Just sayin'
its ok to change your mind ❤
im holding the line lol
prob will keep everything else
2 points against:
1.Disk rot
2.Even though the price goes up if you check the origional price of cartriages on an inflation calculator, the value has gone down in this melt up economy.
My reccomendation: buy for $5, rip a ROM, sell for $10.
Going through a divorce right now and this video finally pushed me to make the decision to sell off my collection. In my case, I don’t necessarily need the money, but it sure wouldn’t hurt to have a cushion. These lawyer fees are no joke. I’ve probably got somewhere around 1,500-1,700 games in my collection, and I’m only going to keep around 300. Appreciate the video brother.
Last week I decided to sell 95% of the collection due to space and not be able to spending time playing the games. I rather have 100 games that I really care about and going back to and not having 300+ games with backlogs and not having time to play them. I know I get a lot of hate saying this, but it's the truth. And I couldn't afford anymore forking up $100 per gamecube first party games and justify that is insane. Even PS3 games is rising atm.
Ive never been a collector. As I've gotten older, I'm believing this was a better choice. I have exactly 2 old games physically. 2 GameCube games my kids got for me when they wrre little. Mario Kart Double Dash and Luigi's Mansion. That's it. All my retro gsmes are sold or digital.
Ive been seriously considering selling my collection that is about a quater of a million EASILY in value on a poor day. It'll be a full time job for sure. I've hit my wall. This video really resonates with me. Good job RGT!
I sold off most of mine, mostly focusing on my PS2. Takes up such little space and the library is absurd.
The only games I really want to play on ps2 is Need for Speed underground 1 & 2.
@@b4rs629 When I had all the systems; I mostly just played my PS2. That's how I knew full blown retro collecting wasn't for me. Not to say I don't collect other systems but it's very very little.
@@ArtyCollectz Ya ps2 has so many games I wouldn't even bother outside the couple essentials I would want.
what's with the loads and loads of overlay ?
by showing yourself the video is much more pleasant to watch.
Prices are LOL.
I would say emulation is superior to retro consoles in 90% of cases. There are only certain systems like the Wii where having the original hardware is beneficial.
I didn’t even realize I had games that are desired. They have been collecting dust. Dragon Quest 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 on the ds/3ds are worth a pretty penny rn. Weird. Zelda twilight princess with amibo pack selling for 300 on eBay. Holy smokes.
I'd be interested in buying Dragon Quest. Last game I played was Dragon Warrior 3 & Dragon Warrior Monsters on GBC.
You actually paid for your hospital bills? I will never pay for a hospital bill.
Plus with switch i can play on tv but if i want to skip tv i can play one switch portably and save money on electricity
I’ll never sell! 😊
Exactly how i feel..im just getting started lo 😂.. btw I❤your collection keep up making awesome videos
I Like Money-Mr Krabs would be proud
If you wanna sell, sell. If you don't wanna sell, don't sell. Gotcha.
I sold my collection, including 100s of magazines, in 2005 for next to nothing to pump the money into my x-ray career. I said I'll get them later in life. Flashforward to now, I lost my career in 2016, and the modern prices are ridiculous. I have spent several $1,000s getting my collection back and a lot of times they're not even CIB! And my magazines that were my pride and joy are gone forever. So the sacrifice was for nothing!😭
i sold mine before i moved to florida.
I was collecting Sega Genesis for a while for nostalgia. It was really fun but I realized I had a problem when I saw a listing of the Sega power strip and nearly dropped over $150 for it. Know your limits.
I once had a Sega Saturn & Dreamcast collection buying retro games can cost you a lot money i had about 100 Dreamcast games and only about maybe 15 or 25 Sega Saturn games those Sega Saturn games are high eBay was getting rich off of me.
Im about to sell off a lot of my games. The truth is, they just sit there, im not playing them, so its time to pass them onto someone else.

Wish I still had my collection not
to play but because retro games
are worth WAY more than they should
Bruh💀
I just traded my broken and like very badly damged random stuff just scrap I get while collecting and have no use for for a new ps5 edge controller high end Sony headset and 5 games for literary broken things and I was fully transparent with the guy
I don’t see why is selling “something you own” a spicy topic.
I will never sell my games no matter how much they are worth
I’ll never sell mine. It’s not about profit for me it’s about nostalgia, trying new games I’ve never played before or playing games I haven’t played in years. I’m someone who will never go for full complete sets. I only go for games i will play
Get a mister fpga
I shouldn't sell my collection. But everyone else should. ;)
I tried selling some of my games years ago at my wife's behest... regretted it. I'm just not at the point to sell all my classic systems
And that's okay, but at some point you will have to let go.
