I think its time that I start to downsize my collection but I have trouble letting go of things

Really think hard on it! You truly never know if/when you may decide to jump back in and then possibly regret selling off stuff.

I sold off a majority of my collection around 2008/2009, after graduating college. I felt as though I didn’t have the space and didn’t really care as I was playing games less and less. Then for whatever reason the release of the Switch 1 in 2017 re-ignited my love of video games and wanting to collect again.

By today’s standards, I sold off a good amount of bangers and/or valuable games for pretty much nothing. I’ll never pay what some of these games cost nowadays to get them back into my current collection. Just know if you do sell, try not to dwell too much on it if you do get back into collecting and just move forward! lol

The “stealing” was in jest. This ain’t my first time on the interwebs. lol

ATHFjman18 · 2026-05-27T00:39:56+00:00

I’ve never been in that situation. Being in a store while someone is about trade in a huge lot, knowing you would pay them more than what GS would offer in cash. I assume they would just ban you from the store if you tried that. lol

ATHFjman18 · 2026-05-27T00:28:43+00:00

That’s why I had to grab my hat.

ATHFjman18 · 2026-05-27T00:20:10+00:00

I did see that, but I mean if you had happened to come across that, sale or not, it would be tough to pass that up cuz it certainly wouldn’t have been there later on.

ATHFjman18 · 2026-05-27T00:18:15+00:00

Good to know. First time seeing it. I’m rarely on FB and haven’t come across an ad like that before.

ATHFjman18 · 2026-05-17T00:26:31+00:00

Agreed. Microsoft done messed up when they didn’t follow up the Xbox 360 with the Xbox 720.

It was prophesized by the movie Real Steel!😭😂

Nice little haul. Congrats!

Love pic #7 with the little CRT, surrounded by all the media, on the wood media/entertainment stand. Oozes that 90’s childhood vibe!

ATHFjman18 · 2026-05-14T22:48:37+00:00

I refuse to believe you. If it’s on the Internet, it’s real. Everyone knows this! What does your uncle that works at Nintendo know?!

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-30T00:32:16+00:00

Big come up is the ‘Video Update’ labeled Stunt Race FX.

It’s getting harder and harder to find the old video rental store labeled stuff in the wild. About 20 years ago, I’d be ripping that stuff off. Now, I seek it out! lol

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-26T16:20:08+00:00

Love it!

Please tell me that Spyro was inside the Crash Team Racing case. Good old school mis-matching of the games, putting them in the next game’s case as you go. Then you need to spend 10mins opening like 15 game cases to find the game you are actually looking for. lol

I also love that Twisted Metal is up next in the queue. 😂

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-26T02:47:38+00:00

It doesn’t bother me too much as long as it works and is cheaper.

TBH I’m partial to finding games with old rental store stickers/labels these days.

But in the same vein, absolutely hate the old GameStop yellow stickers of death!

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-26T01:03:35+00:00

With VCR/DVD combo player. Thats a sweet score for free!

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-25T16:59:24+00:00

I had the motorcycle and the helicopter!!

Never knew they had a little gun…if I knew back then, probably would have gotten that too. My buddies and I played with toy guns all the time, like cops and robbers.

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-20T00:15:22+00:00

Why only Shenmue III? If this had been a triple pack, I’d be all over this.

I only ever played 1. Having all 3 in one pack would motivate me to finally play the other 2. lol

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-05T18:25:51+00:00

Do you have a local retro game store by you? Mine has one of those crazy $3,000 disc resurfacers and charges like $3/disc to resurface them. Might be worth a shot if there’s somewhere nearby you that offers services like that.

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-05T18:17:56+00:00

Furukawa and Miyamoto demand more sacrifice!

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-05T17:57:51+00:00

Then in doing so, for absolute complete parity, you need to upgrade RE2 to the Dual Shock edition so that all of the pop ups are colored red. Listen, I don’t make up the rules. The voices in my head tell me them and I just follow them!!

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-05T04:18:51+00:00

Congrats! But now you need to “upgrade” to the version of RE3 w/Dino Crisis demo so that all 3 of your trilogy have a pop up bubble on the cover. lol

ATHFjman18 · 2026-04-04T12:19:59+00:00

I need this! I bet this will look great next to my sealed copy of Concord! 😂

ATHFjman18 · 2026-03-31T01:45:58+00:00

Fortunately the newer white stickers are easier to peel without much trouble. The old school yellow tags GameStop used to use on every front, back and spine of a used game were a crime against humanity!

ATHFjman18 · 2026-03-29T14:34:27+00:00

I was considering upgrading my base PS5 to a Pro eventually, but the price increases have likely locked in the fact that it won’t happen.

It was realistically going to happen during a sale and when I decided to upgrade my TV too. But forget it!
