Would you ever sell your entire collection?

[VACRMH]

I'll keep it until I'm so old that I can't play the games anymore. Then I'll sell it all and take a nice trip or something I suppose.

I had a bizarre thought this morning about selling off my entire collection. Just sort of thought about it. I don't think I'll ever seriously consider it though. Plus I was pissed off when I woke up, so yeah. Waking up earlier than 7:30 kills me.

I honestly cared for a while about keeping my games but when it comes down to it...It is just taking up more space. And once I have beaten a game why go back to it. Only 2 games I have EVER gone back to play through again afters years have passed. Xenogears and FFVII, thats it.

So I really just have an attitude right now of ok well I play the game, beat the game, sell the game. That is it. If its online like COD4 or in future GTAIV, then I just keep it for that reason only. But I am slowly just selling my older PS2/PS1 games because their just there sitting doing nothing.

I look at it like this sometimes too. There is someone out there right now who could be enjoying the game I own and that I Don't play.

Naw, I don't ever sell shit, unless I bought it to sell. I doubt I'll ever need the money bad enough to sell or anything.

I can see me stopping collecting as I am pretty capricious that way, but not getting rid of the collection.

[ooXxXoo]

Selling my collection??????....Is this an Aprils fool joke or what?....Theres no way!....Just to think of all of the Stress and frustration I've encounter when trying to out bid people on Ebay at the last second!....I have been thinking to pass it on to one of my nephews when I'm gone...But so far none of them deserve it!...Time will tell....

No way, no how, not under any circumstances.

I dont consider a hobby a problem... that being said I like what i like so i am not interested in stoping it - it doesn't hurt anyone and its not out of control... In my opinion!
Probably leave it to my kids but hopefully thats a long way away - I just don't understand the mindset that we all have a problem. - if i spend $100 and buy 100 games for machines like the 2600 I think that that was money well spent. I put them on the shelf - check off the appropriate columns and make sure they work.
People come to my house and say they "think i have a problem" but if i go to someones house and see a 7k oriental rug on the floor underneath there dining room table I supposed to go "wow thats nice"!
Really what it all boils down to is why do i collect...
I like providing an atmosphere of entertainment for my friends that they can not find any where else.
I like playing games.
I like collecting things.
It brings back child hood memories.
Nothing compares to the reaction I get from someone who has not played Wizard of Wor in 20 years and they get to sit down and do exactly that right now!!!

Back to the topic at hand - I regret selling every game i ever sold when it was not a duplicate - I have no plans to sell any games in the future... but only because there is no need.

[Buyatari]

sure I'd sell for the right price.

My kids don't want this junk.

[bust3dstr8]

Sell the whole thing never, but as you get older tastes can change. I have been selling all my RPG as I doubt I will ever play through them again.

[aaron7]

Hard question... but yah, I think I would. Not sure when, but I'm sure I will someday. I'll come to the realization that I'm sitting on probably $10k worth of NES stuff lol

Then I'll sell it all and take a nice trip or something I suppose.

Seems backwards to me.

Me? I've gone and seen a bit of the world already, I can sit on my butt now. [/uglyamerican]

[MeTmKnice]

If the price was right, or it was a life/death situation then yes I would sell, then again I would be getting more money than its worth so i could buy it all again and then some.
