It genuinely seems like you don't regret selling your collection, that's so cool, so mature, recognizing that you're just accumulating things that no longer make much sense for your life at this point. We can love games and still not need to accumulate so much that we no longer have space at home. I felt very happy to have sold my 3 handhelds last year and I'm satisfied with my few home consoles, with games stored on hard drives or everdrives, that's enough for me. Minimalism is freedom.

Glad you are happy with your decision and sounds like you're in a better spot for it mentally and in life. I think when people said you would regret it, they thought you were selling the games you grew up with and had memories with, but it sounds like you kept all the games important to you. I know exactly what you mean. I sometimes buy games I know I won't play or have time to play, but I try hard to just buy the games I really care about and am certain on playing. I started to realize that it's just not worth the opportunity cost for other things. On the other hand just the hobby of collecting and game hunting is fun in and of itself. So it goes both ways.

I'm building my collection to this day as a big Playstation fan working on it as we speak, even working on sega genesis games as well as other consoles I own, I just recently bought a model 1, love it very much I even purchased me my first bookshelf for my games not too long ago and I know for a fact once more games keep on coming ima have to eventually get a bigger shelf, but I can honestly say there's nothing wrong with it as long as you got the extra money for it, to me I look for well taken care of games that come with everything including manual and case as well as best as possible well taken care of discs, usually almost finding brand new can be pretty pricey but they can definitely hold a sentimental value depending on the individual, but all in all I make sure to get mint condition as possible it makes my collection look so beautiful and gives me tons of options on what to play, yes I also love emulation games on other consoles and devices as well, but I still love to preserve my games physically that puts a big smile on my face, it's been one of my sorta childhood dreams and I'm making it happen work in progress, definitely one of my favorite hobbies! But it all comes down depending on the collectors' goals how he or she sees it, love your videos man keep it up, video game nerd for life!

I’m happy for you. I’m a very attached to my stuff, though. Do I need an original Xbox translucent blue controller unopened in a box full of unopened controllers? No. But I’ve tried to declutter in the past and, personally, I’ve generally ended up regretting it. But that’s me. Everybody’s different. Personally, the only reason for having money (aside from security and peace of mind) is to acquire stuff. I’m on a mission to buy all the stuff I couldn’t afford as a kid. Do I need Firefly mint on card? Again, nope. But it reminds me of being a kid in the 80s and 90s and for some reason makes me happy. But I recognize that too much stuff can be a burden, too. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the amount of games I have and then end up not playing anything. But for the most part, I like having a toy store/ video game museum in my house. I was going to order an expensive blu ray box set of Evangelion, because it has the original ADV English voice actors instead of the new Netflix dub. The box art looked familiar, so I went down to my basement where I have most of my physical media stored (I mostly just use vudu and so forth, now. But I new I’d regret it if I sold off my physical library) and it turns out I bought that box set years ago and forgot. It’s nice to be able to go shopping in your house. My nephew somehow discovered Batman the animated series a couple years ago. I’m not sure where he would have seen it, but regardless, I was like “hey, you like batman the animated series? Check this out.” And I brought up several boxes of unopened DC Direct, animation accurate Batman TAS figures and an extra blu ray box set of the series and mask of the phantasm. I loaded up two shopping bags full of batman stuff for him. You’d think I gave him a corvette. I’m the cool uncle now. All because I’m a compulsive hoarder. So, I guess what I’m saying is, yay materialism!

I don't have time enough to play the hundreds of games I have for probably a dozen consoles.. yes, I would miss having certain titles and some original hardware, however, (as far as "completeness",) I'm CERTAIN I wouldn't miss the collection of sports games I purchased for my Saturn.. seriously, those golf games are painfully buggy and slow. On the other hand my arcade style games and RPGs are comforting places to be.

A lot of this "de-cluttering" "minimalistic movement" is posible thanks to technology (streaming, digital photos, emulation, etc.). Twenty years ago, you couldn't get rid of your VHS, DVD, or gaming collection without letting go those memories forever. So, I don't thing that RGT 85, could do this in the early 2000s. Technology has allowed him to get rid of everything. Without emulation, he will not do it.

Getting rid of things y9u don't need anymore, I think the freeing feeling comes partly from having less responsibility to worry about, and partly from less obligation to use something/get value out of it which often requires spending time on it, since not getting value/use out of something creates a kind of low level stress/guilt. Maybe it's also the act of successfully concluding something.

I'm at the same point in my life. I live in Japan and have been collecting / reselling for years and since covid, shipping has gone up A LOT and found myself with soooo much crap I can't sell and I don't really care for my collection anymore. The daunting thing is getting rid of it. I don't mind taking a loss to get rid of it a little faster but I also don't want to give it away for nothing. I'm only 38 but I feel like age is catching up to me and want to get rid of my possessions and do what old people do, go for walks and have naps. I think people like us are going to increase more and more and prices will start to decrease with a lot more product on the market.

All I got to say is some of those games are not easy to find in the wild any more. If you decide to repurchase an old game. You may have to settle for ripped covers and black markers on them

I sold my collection for art supplies. They guy low balled me cause he thought it was stolen. I was just 16. One of the worst decisions i have ever made.

There is no way you don't regret it. There are so many memories attached to those games. You'll blow through that money in a couple years and then have nothing .

The problem with collectors now is that they're buying up everything and anything. Systems they didn't even own or play as a kid. Choose a few systems and collect for that. Emulate the rest. I remember when emulators first starting becoming popular in the early 2000's I gave up on collecting physical media because I just didn't see the point when every 8 or 16 bit game was easily accessible through a laptop. Some people need to slim down collections and save space if it's affecting their sanity.

Growing up, I couldn't afford those $70-$80 super Nintendo games so i never got into collecting Snes or Nes games . I've got a pretty small library of physical games from Ps to Xbox but i just can't see myself being a game collector. Now i turn to emulation or buying digital games on sale.

The thing is bro, by constantly repeating that you don't regret it, you give more ammo to all the people that hound you with questions if you regret your decision. Just don't say "this is the last time I'm going to say I don't regret selling my collection"

I have felt overwhelmed with my collection of 400+ games spanning 30+ years. I've played and beat somewhere around 90% of my collection as it's been over a long time that I've accumulated these games. That said I have recently found it easier to trim the fat so to speak. Games I know I might not get to have been traded, sold, whatever (sorry Witcher 3) in an attempt to ease the burden. I've found it easier to enjoy gaming since I've put my collection away in totes in the closet and only keep out a handful of games.

Brother I sold my retro collection that I'd been building for 20 years in 2020, not out of desperation but to downsize, and to be honest, I've never been happier. It's so easy to emulate these days. It's also so much easier to switch between games without having to remember where you put a cart or bother organizing shelves EVERY TIME you buy a couple new games

I have my consoles from my NES I bought when I was a child up to the last console I bought which was the PS4 I don't play them, I don't really game much now and I have a lot of the games (at least the earlier generations) as ROMs. It's not only the games taking up space but it's the consoles and controllers and other accessories. I am tempted just to sell a lot of it on because it is taking up space. There are things like the NES zapper (but I don't have a CRT TV anymore) and accessories like the PS Move and cameras which I couldn't really emulate but then I haven't used them in years I did this with my Funko Pops which I have sold a lot of. I binned the boxes as I wasn't an in-box collector but decided I didn't really need them and I hadn't paid a lot for most of them

The only reason you haven’t regretted it yet is because not enough time has passed. Trust me, in 10-15 years you will indeed have some regrets. ✌️

I like collecting/playing games. But I’m not attached to most of these games. So selling some of my games, if not most; really doesn’t affect me.

I started collection about 15 years ago and would buy up large cheap video game lots. When buying in bulk you quickly amass a collection of games that you will never play. I am currently in the process of inventorying my collection and am going through every game. I could easily get rid of a huge amount of my collection with no impact on me. Like, why do I have multiple copies of sports games for different platforms. I am never going to play those games and if I do I don't need the same game on three different systems.

The videogame collecting market is so crazy right now. People are buying Wata graded copies of Pokemon games that were released 6 months ago, for $300. The bubble is set to burst.
