Did ya'll notice the couple times where the gun aimed toward Greg's head held by his girlfriend accidentally pokes into the frame, as Greg reads the script acknowledging how the game collection has taken over their house and needs to go?
My younger brother, let me tell you that I've been there before. The shame. The embarrassment. The anxiety. For the younger collectors out there, allow me to share a few things that I have learned in my collecting journey in hopes that it helps someone: 1. Society will push you at every opportunity to part you from your money. You gotta add this to your collection that never seems to end. You gotta get this upgrade. You gotta spend all of your money on this, even if you don't need it. Try to fight those pushes. Set boundaries on how big your collection can get and start making real decisions when it gets to that limit. 2. You can have anything you want in life, but you can't have everything you want in life. You will always have to make trade-offs. Greg can't have a $10k Mario game AND all the other crap in that room AND no anxiety. 3. You don't own stuff; stuff owns you. That stuff still in the mailing boxes is taking over Greg's life and it can easily take over your's. 4. A good night's sleep is vastly underappreciated until you're not getting it. 5. The pile that gives you anxiety did not get to its size in one day and it will not disappear in one day. Try to make just a little bit of progress each day and the results will start compounding over time. My wife and I celebrate when we can say "one less thing in the house." 6. It's ok to just throw stuff away or list for free on Marketplace things that have little value or they're slow to move (like those Atari games or other obscure oddballs). Sometimes it's worth taking the monetary loss just to get it out of your life. Consider it cheap tuition for an education in what not to do going forward. I wish you good progress on your goals and happy and meaningful collecting.
Greg just become a whatnot seller for your fans and sell those cheapies etc.. easier to show condition during stream and you will move stuff much faster
This is such a great idea for a series and I’m sure it’ll prove really inspirational to a significant portion of your viewers. I feel your pain but can’t wait to follow your progress. Good luck! 🤞
Also, thanks for giving me something to show my wife how non-unique this situation is but also giving her some hope because I feel the same way about my mess. :p
Hey Greg, i've been in a very similar situation last year, when you start selling stuff and see the progress it feels amazing! When you sell a "junk" item that also feels amazing as its just one less item to deal with :)
It’s super interesting seeing what you have stored and going through it. And that Crystal Game Shark is a gem 🤣 Good luck on your mission. Keep chipping away
Greg, maybe grab all the stuff that's not worth your time to part out, put it all in a single box, take it to your local retro games shop and just accept whatever they give you. It'll start the ball rolling and you'll feel a huge weight off your chest. Anything they dont want to pay for you can usually just give them for free. Might make for a fun video, GL! :)
Good luck going for that Mario. Selling things you dont even want anymore, is always good. I plan to do something like this with some of my collections... not for monetary reasons, but for space.
Great video Greg, we don’t get enough collection pruning videos, i sell 10% of my collection each year to buy want I really want, I always focus on adding quality
I found a Miracle Piano at a garage sale early into my time collecting. It was cheap but it takes up so much space. I wish I never would have bought it.
Greg, I follow you since day one. There is no need to be ashamed. You have become the biggest VG influencer of all time if you think about that. The issue is, that you do something because you love it and you earn your money with it, and usually these two thinks wont go well together. Its like doing business with you family. I think someone like you did generally profit from all your buys and sells, nothing to worry about. Just sell what you can, and dont think about good or bad deals. Its just how life goes. Everyone buys stuff in there life that they regret later on. Its a modern problem. I know multiple people who bought Mercedes Benzes and could not afford them later on. People literally buy big cars that loose value woth thousands a year. Some people put all there money in stocks, crypto etc. and loose everything. Some people get injured and pay thousands. We all have the same issues, and you are deffo not alone. You will be fine bro
Been recently going through similar purge, not sure what I'll use the money for yet. Good luck getting sealed SMB, I need to get one as well! I'll be watching!
When you panned over and it was video game hoarding galore, I totally felt that. Glad you're doing this series because it motivates me to keep going on downsizing what we have to pick up what things I'd actually like to have/display.
I think it just becomes so addicting to be buying/flipping/getting deals/ etc that you don't realize how much stuff is really being accumulated over the months/years. Kind of crazy to be at this point, but feels good to be addressing it head on haha.
I have so much stuff too, over multiple hobbies. Retro games, toys, dioramas, 3D printing. Ive spent hours over the weekend cleaning and I feel much better but I have so much stuff to sell it is daunting. I always want the best price for my stuff so it sells so slowly.
I recently went back home to pick up stuff i had in my parents attic for 25 years roughly. It was tough but i had to just trash a bunch of old memories. No room for everything. I had a blue and yellow n64 controller empty box as well lol.
4:26 I can't believe you said that... 😂 Man, it's tough to reach this acceptance. My room used to be like that in 2017. Stuff piled up against the walls, stuff atop boxes atop shelves, 1 of 4 seats in my sofa open, the other seats full of stuff I also need to go through but don't know where to start. Then I decided to simply start in one corner of the room, *set a date/time*, and getting get rid of shit Right Now. With a profit mindset you also have crippling thoughts about losses, potential gains, the gambles, the flips etc, but there's always more good deals and it accumulates so fast. I assume you bought a lot of this back when prices and collecting was different and you were younger and didn't think about returns the same. None of it was meant to be worth thousands nor meant to sit around for 15 years. Full set collecting sounded fun. I also bought stuff like the Quattro btw, when I collected anything obscure! 2410 major flashback too. But it's great to see you doing this. Personally, I'd separate what's $50+ and try to get rid of everything else is a job lot to avoid fatigue 👍
Yea this time around here I just have to care less about the prices and margins. Like overall, none of this matters. I've made enough money in this hobby and reduced my cost basis so much that I could just toss all of the low value stuff and not care. But I still do care and with this challenge set I want to try and get sooomething for everything haha. We'll see how well I can balance it!
You can absolutely ship all that stuff, just charge for shipping. I know you said you don't want to sell on whatnot but maybe now is the time. Especially if you offer viewers the option to autograph the game before shipping, that would be a fun incentive! I'm mostly saying that because I want a GTG signed game lol But yeah I have like 3x more junk than you and still figuring out what to do with it.
Man, your stuff on the floor is worth a lot more than $200. Your boxed NES alone. RC Pro Am 2, Kiwi Kraze etc. is worth some good money. Best of luck with your sales.
Thanks for the video Greg! I too am looking at my pokemon card collection in a similar way. It's not crazy out of control, but I don't have the largest space for things to begin with. Keep it up and I hope you get that Mario!
I wouldn't mind buying some of this Shameful collection! lol, but yes I hear you on the shipping. Sometimes good deals can become not so good deals once shipping gets involved.
You know your a hoarder when you start to keep the stuff in the original shipping boxes so you can tell your self your gonna sell it later and won’t need to find a box for it lol
The light years fly by. We change. Collections come and go. We all feel your struggle. Progress gets closer to the finish line. Let’s make 2025 a grand of a year!-)
What I would do if I were you is go through it all and separate what you want to keep. Put it away in a separate corner, shelf and/or boxes. That way you can help truncate the crap you want to sell. Make it more feasible.😁😁😁
i watch this video as i prepare to ship out a sealed hobby box of hockey cards, made a lil profit, but i gotta downsize, and not spread myself to thin. it is a hobby afterall. not my life xD
I'm doing the same thing this year, consolidation with one target game. I'm after a 9.8 A+ FFVII. I got lucky with SMB1. Was the first sealed game I ever bought... in 2011... for $100.
I kick myself every day for not buying a Mario 1 back when they were really cheap haha. I have Mario 2 and 3, but never bought the first one for whatever reason
The Majora's statue is staying forever I think haha. And I'd love to get more statues myself honestly put each one takes up so much space to properly display
Yeah , it's time for whatnot. That's the fastest way to get rid of all that. Plus, they match your first $150 for new sellers. So you could sell at a lost and still make money or break even.
Even when I handle junk in my collection, I’m gentle with it. Then I see Greg trying to ruin the condition of everything he touches! Maybe I should try that, easier to part ways with I guess!
Yeah I actually stopped buying stuff recently. Taking a break from all of this. I was spending so much time on this, for like the last 2 years, that it was actually affecting my personal relationships. And I let it happen. And that is a no no. It's different, you have the channel n make money with this, don't let that happen man.
@GetTheGreg it wasn't just this bullshit. Sometimes you're trying to do something different. There were other things I was doing taking time away. But I made my decisions. But sell that crap. And you said 1/20 of the garbage....... It's time, even if just for your own clarity sitting in your house.
3 of those Atari games have some value, if you’d want to sell any pre Nintendo stuff to the us I’d be more than happy to purchase. Im in the discord but I assume it’d be too much trouble cause of shipping
Yea even a solid local store would be 2 hours away. Otherwise I'd be dumping it to a glorified pawn shop and I really don't want to do that haha. I don't even like the place 😅
Generally speaking, it will have both English and French on the game case. Sometimes game releases in America and Canada will have shared bilingual or even trilingual releases, so it's a bit tricky and depends from game to game.
@@GetTheGreg The French would be in the back where the age rating is right? Usually it's English Spanish and French together so I'm not totally sure, the French wouldn't be on the front like the Japanese Skyward Sword was I'm guessing? So if it's just English and French no Spanish on the back it must be Canadian? Don't mean to ask too much I was just digging for this info for like 20 mins I can't find nothing about it but I want all my games to be cohesive
@@exaltedost yea generally French in the ESRB is a great way to tell quickly, but French can also be "everywhere" in the game description or front text haha. The game title itself will never be anything but English. English and French doesn't always mean Canada release though. Some games like Dark Souls on 360 were only released with bilingual cases. Nintendo has a lot of games that don't have specific Canada releases but still have English/French (and/or Spanish on them). When in doubt, look for only English. If you only see bilingual or trilingual from every copy on eBay from USA sellers, then it's probably safe to say that's the default American release.
Don't feel shame for having all that stuff. It's worth money and you are doing the right thing by getting rid of it, making more space, and getting the game you want. The only shame you should feel is for wearing those tank tops all the time. But in all seriousness, Trevor has some really solid advise and if I were you, I'd go that route first since you have a whole year.
Video game prices are a joke and 10k for a single game is insane to me however it's your money and no one can tell you how to spend it. I understand how addiction can take over that's why I forced myself to stop buying many years ago and I'm glad I did and I only have what I will play and not what I might play.
I am not from Canada so I am not super knowledgeable when you say it is not worth shipping certain items, but why not exactly. If you list the item with seperate shipping costs can you not jsut atleast see if anyone buys it? And I am sure a lot of atari stuff like that box would not at all be hard to sell on ebay.
@trevor245 of course you can charge shipping on top, but if something is only worth $30 and shipping is $18 of it, I'd sooner try to sell it locally for $15. And that's not also including 13% or whatever in eBay haha. Basically, by the time it sells, you get $0 for your $20 item is all I mean. So if I'm going to be giving stuff away, I'd rather skip the whole shipping process for my own sake.
@ Ok but lets take a 20 usd game. The price for a 20 usd game is not static 20 usd. If you list it for 15 usd and charge the 18 usd shipping to the US it might sell. You could list things on ebay and locally at the same time. You have mentioned before how terrible your local market is, if so I think it is worth while to do this. Lotting up stuff could also work. Or you could limit your sales reach to just Canada.
@@GetTheGreg The 20 usd game was a bad example. But what I mean to say is that stuff is worth more on ebay than it is locally. And if you don't include the shipping charge in the asking price but jsut charge shipping cost you might be able to have more succes than you would except. Especially with combined shipping and what have you.
@GetTheGreg Yeah, unless I have an immediate short term issue (transitioning between living spaces or something critical like that) that's an official line in the sand for me.

Fantastic comment. I appreciate you sharing your perspective and advice on this!
Glad to see this channel more active. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series
@@yeezusseason It will take time but he will definitely have enough for a good chunk towards that Mario Bros
Really appreciate this video, man, particularly the honesty of it. This is stuff that often does not get talked about but needs to be.
Greg is the guy to get new display bookshelves, and proceeds to fill it with garage sale junk; the redditors would love him
Greg just become a whatnot seller for your fans and sell those cheapies etc.. easier to show condition during stream and you will move stuff much faster
Don’t shame my unorganized collection of expensive junk that’s taking up all my living space.

If you sell Diablo 1 ans 2 boxes, let me know! I could buy them locally and put them on my shelf 😅😅😅😅😅
Let's normalise 'regret purchases' walkthrough vids 😅
Video game prices are a joke and 10k for a single game is insane to me however it's your money and no one can tell you how to spend it. I understand how addiction can take over that's why I forced myself to stop buying many years ago and I'm glad I did and I only have what I will play and not what I might play.
At least you are hoarding items of value. That’s what I keep telling myself at least lol.
That's the cope in many ways haha
That's how I am with pops
Turn on that baller neon sign!
Time to sell me the Dark Souls III Day One 90 VGA
Keep dreamin' pal
So between Greg and Pat selling off their collections, the game market is gonna crash :P
This hobby is deado tomato 🍅
I am not from Canada so I am not super knowledgeable when you say it is not worth shipping certain items, but why not exactly. If you list the item with seperate shipping costs can you not jsut atleast see if anyone buys it? And I am sure a lot of atari stuff like that box would not at all be hard to sell on ebay.
@trevor245 of course you can charge shipping on top, but if something is only worth $30 and shipping is $18 of it, I'd sooner try to sell it locally for $15.
And that's not also including 13% or whatever in eBay haha. Basically, by the time it sells, you get $0 for your $20 item is all I mean.
So if I'm going to be giving stuff away, I'd rather skip the whole shipping process for my own sake.
@ Ok but lets take a 20 usd game. The price for a 20 usd game is not static 20 usd. If you list it for 15 usd and charge the 18 usd shipping to the US it might sell. You could list things on ebay and locally at the same time. You have mentioned before how terrible your local market is, if so I think it is worth while to do this. Lotting up stuff could also work. Or you could limit your sales reach to just Canada.
@@trevor245 if I can just sell $20 games for $33 + tax, then yes, I have no issues whatsoever lol
@@GetTheGreg The 20 usd game was a bad example. But what I mean to say is that stuff is worth more on ebay than it is locally. And if you don't include the shipping charge in the asking price but jsut charge shipping cost you might be able to have more succes than you would except. Especially with combined shipping and what have you.
greg been on a bulk for like 3 years
Greg will you be selling all that stuff on eBay consignment?
It's going to be a mix of everything, honestly. So much I'm going to try and just sell cheap local to avoid shipping, etc.
HA! good one
You traded your Miracle Piano for a maraca!
@@explodedhamster8789 truth lol
You need MANY garage sales, or too VEND somewhere
Hello Greg! Interested in the Ridge Racer 4 if you want to sell it. Reach out if interested.
I had to get storage units…. 😊
I never went to get to that point haha
@GetTheGreg Yeah, unless I have an immediate short term issue (transitioning between living spaces or something critical like that) that's an official line in the sand for me.
Two bad what happen to Kanye? But not your video game collection??? They on the same boat 😂
Huh?
Is it shameful that I own two copies of DOA Xtreme Volleyball?
@@JustinBarcellos-fp5qc .......
My man.
Shame.....Shame.....Shame Shame Shame........shame on you :P
Canadian video games aren't worth less than American games. They're not Japanes 😂
In the world of sealed and graded, Canadian copies always sell for less than US counterparts.
For casual CIB or loose stuff, I agree with you
Time to take out the garbage Greg.
Wait? You have a hentai collection?
Ive seen worse Gregg😂
If all else fails, just set up at a game convention and sell...sell...sellll!!!!
Haha can always be worse - this is true!

You should be ashamed you are selling
SHAME, EMBARRASSING
