You ever have anything you just CAN'T get rid of for the life of you? :/
The problem with collecting older systems is not knowing what's really GOOD for it. Oh sure, you trust a lot of a reviews and what friends tell you, but unless you get the chance to actually PLAY the game, it can be misleading. It's the same way with books and movies -- often for my History studies I'll request a book at the library that sounds just like what I need, and then when it comes I'll go "oh, look at the pretty pictures!" :D
Case in point -- when I picked up a 3DO last year and started buying games for it on EBay, I ended up only keeping about a third of them. The rest I sold on EBay as a bundled auction.
Well, I'm TRYING to do the same thing with some Sega CD games. I got the system about six months ago and started buying games for it. Now I've picked up everything that sounded interesting, and again, I'm only keeping about half of my games. So the rest went up in a auction for EBay.
Now, I know they are not some of the BEST games, but even my BIN is a lot less then what I paid for all those games in singles and twos online.
Three times I've tried to sell on EBay, without any intrest. Here's a link to my last attempt:

I've even posted here in the Buy/Sell/Trade topic, as well as a couple other boards I vist. Nothing. It's worse then depressing. :(
Besides adding pics, which I can't do right now cause I'm tight in money and don't have a camera, I can't think of anything else I can do to try to get rid of these games.
At this point I'd even trade then with someone, but I mostly buy modern stuff (PC, PSX, PS2, GC, GBA) so I doubt anyone would even be interested.
Okay, I feel better now that I vented. :)
