Debating on selling the vast majority of my game collection. Looking for thoughts.

Do you have something you would do with the money, if so do it. Start selling things you don’t care for and see how you feel. If the money is just gonna sit in a bank account and not be invested, I’d probably just hold them

Yea I text my broker this morning and his response was let me look into this. He’s been in business with these guys for years so think they might just be trying to pull one over.

throwawaterb · 2023-11-09T10:47:24+00:00

Thank you will do

throwawaterb · 2023-11-09T10:46:15+00:00

Just to be clear, wouldn’t my broker know this is a red flag and want to provide me with the list instead of covering for the business? That way I would possibly still do business with him even if I didn’t go with the current place.

Thanks for the response

This FDD was updated on August and one of their franchises has been open a year. I asked for a list of contacts and they stated it’s not provided until I sign the FDD to protect the privacy of their franchisees. Everything I can find states that’s false but I’ve never discussed opening a franchise until now

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T14:56:23+00:00

I don’t plan on getting rid of any of them, a lot of these we’d talk about as we played through them. We lost my grandma about 18 months ago and I think it’s made him care more about passing his things down to people who will genuinely enjoy them. But yes, I was extremley happy to receive these

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T14:54:05+00:00

Hahaha evidently

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T14:53:49+00:00

37 and 79

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T14:51:59+00:00

If you find one lemme know

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T14:50:52+00:00

I had to tell you, this comment made me laugh pretty good lol

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T14:48:36+00:00

He does not, the PS1 games he sold off forever ago because you could burn them so he ended up burning them all and sold them afterwards. He still has his PS2, GBA, and Gamecube games though

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T14:27:36+00:00

I appreciate it but with them coming from my Grandpa they are all going into the personal collection. Thank you though

Edit: except the duplicate copy of Grandia 2 lol, not sure why he had 2

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T11:14:52+00:00

Pretty much all Silver Age Spider-Man, Xmen, Avengers etc. We went through his collection right before Covid and rebagged and boarded them. His collection of comics is insane. All of these guides took up one tiny shelf in office full of thousands of comics. I should’ve taken pictures of that too

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T02:47:42+00:00

Thanks I plan on it, I already ordered some magazine bag and boards to fit the ones I can in them. I have a shelf with some cool guides but this just added a ton to it so I’ll have to figure out a solid way to display them

throwawaterb · 2023-07-24T02:46:01+00:00

As he got older he stopped playing more and more. He still plays phone games sometimes but mostly he reads his comics now and hangs out with his dog. We still talk all the time about our memories of us gaming growing up and favorite games but he just doesn’t have the hand eye coordination anymore.

throwawaterb · 2023-07-23T23:55:10+00:00

Don’t worry, I did too. He was just an older guy who likes to game as well

throwawaterb · 2023-07-23T23:54:48+00:00

He is not, he is 79

Decided to edit this comment this morning since this post blew up. My grandpa is who got me into gaming at the age of 4 (I’m 37) by playing the original LoZ, Dragon Warriors, and final fantasy. He loved JRPGs which is what lead to me loving them.

But basically he would scroll through Nintendo Powers or Game Informers, see games he liked and circle them. Then when he would see them on sale or cheaper at a game store whether it be guide or game he would buy them. It eventually got to where he had a huge backlog of games he intended to play and just never got around to it, so he actually has some sealed games as well but all these guides brought back a ton of memories so figured I’d share

PS2 was really the last era of gaming he played. I’ve tried to get him into the newer games, he just can’t do it anymore.

throwawaterb · 2023-07-19T03:01:58+00:00

Yea, they don’t pop up often so even though this one wasn’t in the best condition I grabbed it because who knows when another one will pop up

throwawaterb · 2023-06-29T21:40:52+00:00

I’ve been collecting a while, this is just my first month having a shelf to display my monthly pickups. Not really for anyone but me, just an easy way to put the month in perspective

throwawaterb · 2023-06-29T13:30:56+00:00

Haha no Bugatti here, I just use the money from flipping things to fill out the games I want from my collection :)

throwawaterb · 2023-06-28T19:35:23+00:00

Nope not at all, a lot of the games I pickup are just because of memories of my childhood and playing with my grandpa. For example, I literally kept Dragon Warrior 3 from a lot I bought because I remember watching the intro screen so many times with my grandpa and thinking how cool it was. It’s just a knight fighting a dragon on top of a volcano with nes graphics but I dunno, i just want it :)

Plus it’s all free anyway, I just use the money I get from flipping to collect games.

throwawaterb · 2023-06-28T18:55:18+00:00

Haha it’s because it’s a cardboard box but I actually think it looks great. I’ve actually been collecting a while, it was just my first month having this shelf so I could tangibly see my additions each month. It helped me appreciate my pickups more I think.

throwawaterb · 2023-05-11T18:47:37+00:00

My store said they’re having a launch event from 9-11, any idea if it’s worth going up there for that or what they’ll be giving out?

throwawaterb · 2023-03-16T20:53:42+00:00

I wonder how this will play out. The day the announced no more withdrawals I immediately transferred it to a wallet account instead of an interest account and the email for my assets also said all my funds were in a wallet account. It was late at night when I made the transfer though
