(UPDATE: Please do not send PMs asking to buy individual games. If I have any items prepared for sale I will post them in the Buying and Selling forum. That said, thank you very much for the members who inquired about substantial bulk purchases. However I am not selling any chunks of this collection at this time.)
Storage issues and medical bills have left me thinking about selling off some of my lifelong collection.
Like many of you I've taken great pride and care to build a library of games and peripherals which highlight the best each major system has had to offer.
The collection has branched out from just developers I appreciate, to whole genres of games, to ports on multiples systems, to games which use unique control interfaces,... and on and on. It has been great to experience so many incredible games, systems and peripherals over the past 20 years, but life circumstances have me re-evaluating how much of a collection I can maintain.
I am not in any hurry to sell anything, so at this point I'm just looking for opinions or shared experience as to what the best strategies are for selling a large collection. I'm wondering how I might advertise to or attract a buyer who would be interested in taking a large chunk (or all) of my collection in one shot. ...like maybe some rich European who lives in a castle (no, seriously.) haha
Here is a link to a google spreadsheet inventory of the collection.
Some things like some of the unique controllers (probably the entire N64 collection), or my Vectrex collection I plan to keep.
I've been reading the other recent threads which discuss collecting and sales strategies, and this certainly isn't an easy undertaking. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
