Hi Retro Gamer, I recently decided to sell off my entire videogame collection of old games. I said goodbye to my Atari 2600 treasures, my once precious C64 collection and my extensive PlayStation and Super Nintendo collections. It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but the money has proven to be extremely useful as it has not only gone towards an extension on our home, but also a lovely holiday in Spain for the family.
Although I enjoy being surrounded by the things I loved as a child, a lack of space and other commitments mean I simply don’t have the time to play games like I used to. Another decision was the fact that it’s so easy to play old games now on original hardware (which I have kept) thanks to the likes of ODEs and similar items.
Anyway, I basically wanted to know if this was something that Darran and Nick have ever considered doing as I know they both have quite extensive collections and that Darran has often sold off games at various trading markets. I found the entire experience quite cathartic and would be interested to know if other readers have gone through a similar experience.
