Honestly killing yourself is the only option at this point.

On the real though, sell that shit, get many monies.

Alternatively, start up a game review youtube channel.

jaguar was a gift from the female, you see i dun collected every system worth a squirrel fart. all that leaves is the crap systems. as for the youtube thing, its a saturated market

I feel they are going to waste, it's really become an investment thing. like that intillivision, I got it for 30 bucks in the box with 12 games all cause the fag couldnt be bothered to test it. it works perfectly and i could get at least 75-100 for it
>>
>>695014383
Uuuuumm keep them you raging faggot, people would kill to have that shit. Fuck me, upgrade your tv though. Throw away the stupid hat hanging on the wall if anything is going. And that throw up some nudey girls.
Find another way to pay rent and you will, I guarantee, you'll find the girl of your wildest dreams. They will home in on you.

nigga that commodore monitor kicks ass, best picture i ever got out of a crt, as for the hat I found it like 9 years ago and proceeded to de-nigger it by bending the rim, I love Jim Henson thats the only reason it sticks around

oh, so you are buying them with the intention of making a profit off em' but get too attached to sell them? I know that feel my yu-gi-oh collection is worth around 300 bucks but I'm way too attached to sell
>>
>>695014383
Sounds like you need to sack up and make a decision.
Outsiders perspective : Sell it. Sell it all. People just don't care about that stuff. Not the vast majority anyway. Sure there are circles where your collection will get a pat on the back. But that's it, few and far between at best. Sucks but it's honest.

Think about it games are cheap now. I remember spending like 50 on a sonic game back in the day. Now you can get anygame you want on your.phone in under a.minute. free.
>>
>>695014383
you're growing up but some part of you is refusing
I suggest you find another hobby then get rid of your vidya

Go on a camping/road trip or visit a foreign country and see if it doesn't readjust your perspective on what you consider to be valuables.

hold onto it, or there will always be regret. selling off dupicates/ consolidating is cool, but you're part of the archive man.

nah but hes a friend of mine, I own most of his albums
>>695018547
It started cause I had a passion for old consoles, now its just compulsion to hoard I got about 8 atari 2600's
>>695018560
the thing is morons are willing to pay outrageous prices for this crap man I got mega man 5 for 5 bucks and now its north of 100 on ebay. If I could just suck it up and sell I stand to make a decent chunk of change
>>
>>695014383
I have a decent vidya collection myself, although I focused on more recent systems than you. I also rarely play any of them. Recently I stopped putting all of my money into it but I am not going to sell them. I collect just because I love collecting things, I always have. I would just put them into storage and sell them when you really need the money. Don't just sell them to get rid of them, your collection is an asset and if you choose to sell you should try to get as much out of it as possible.

I had the same issue, here is what I did, I found a girl I love, bought a house, living together, got her pregnant, had a baby. And in just a few years I can give that crap to her!

well recently I became a gun fag but living at home with 2 old fucks who hate guns is hard. I'm trying to be respectful by not flooding their house with firearms. Growing up is fucking bullshit man I just got engaged and got a decent job so i can move the fuck out, and you know what It sucks ass

i absolutely feel you with this one, as it can be applied to a variety of situations. but: saturated markets never stopped others from hopping on the bandwagon and making some cash out of it, potentially being better than the originators without knowing, as they've never tried. seriously, all you need to do is to swallow some pride and do shit that isn't 1000% innovative but who the fuck cares really

spotted the problem.

at this moment i think this is the best you can do with your collection if you're neither willing to use nor sell. even if you lock the shit away i wouldn't suggest selling. as a fellow collector i experienced that selling your shit off is too much of a heartbreak

I have found that people who collect shit that has no utilitarian value are lacking some intellectual quality. It's much like people who proudly display their hundreds of DVD or Blu Ray cases around on shelves. Why would you do this? Who are you showing these things to? Are you craving validation from strangers? Physical media is a dead format and no longer relevant and like this faggot who collects antique vidya equipment.
He just wants to have some icon he can point to and claim "I am relevant and I matter", since we can conclude he has never done anything of worth in his life up until now.
I'm sure your parents are ashamed.

I've been like this collecting different things. But eventually you realize that keeping so many things perfect ect is a source for OCD/anxiety to feast upon.

Try storing them away, out of sight for a while. along with other crap you don't use but can't bring yourself to sell/scrap. Enjoy a far less cluttered living space over the next couple years, then go thru the boxes... prolly won't care about them nearly as much
>>
I would love to have some your collection OP. Honestly if you're 23 and this is your biggest problem your life is gonna be fine.
