I started collecting for the NES almost three years back. Last year I got heavily into it and burned myself out around the end of the year. I was down to under 100 carts when I decided to sell it all. I made my money back and then some, but, I wish I would have considered the two options below. If I had, I would be chasing down boxes and manulas for the NES, as I would have close to every US release, and concentrating heavily on the DC.

1) Put it all away ang come back to it in four months or so. If I still am not interested, look into selling it.

2) Sell off all of the common stuff and keep the hard to find/one of a kind items.

Number two is basically the "option B". A good one though, as it seems VG collecting has really picked up steam. If there is not another crash and it stays mainstream/popular, things are going to start to dry up. Look at NES stuff now compared to just a year or two back.
