REGRETTING Selling My Video Game Collection...

[RetroVideoGamer]

As a collector, I only collect what I am interested in, its a decent collection, I see a lot of collectors just buy games with no rhyme or reason

Dude totally relate to the feeling of being cluttered when younger and the liberating feeling of getting organized and downsizing. My home is now so much happier without the clutter! Im with you, brother!

There's nothing like a video of a Nintendo YouTuber selling his game collection!

I sold my original Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube and all of the games a few years ago. I regretted it big time. I’ve since repurchased everything. I’ll never do that again. I’m glad you’re at peace with the decision.

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.

I have regretted selling some of my games over the years and it doesn’t always hit you for a long time. Years even. Having said that, as I get older, my regret for getting rid of things gets less and less. As does the feeling of needing to actually have and play a lot of old games I used to love. The memories of them keeps me going.

Honestly, from the moment when you decide to sell your stuff. I never doubt that you would regret it. I know the choices that you made are the choice you made. No regrets, you did it your way and at the end if you're happy with it. Then that's what matters, and thankfully, the effects haven't happened to you, and even if it did, you would just shrugged it off

The fact that rgt made this video about his sold collection 2 months later when everyone has stopped talking about it is proof he regrets selling his collection.

I'm the same way about clutter man, lots of folks don't get it. You'll have to do another vid in a year on if the regret's started to set in haha

[dezarae]

I’m at that age where clutter bothers me too. I can totally relate. Cleanliness and organization make me feel so much better.

Congrats, dude! I’m truly happy for ya. Unfortunately, I’m selling off most of my gaming stuff bc of bills. In a way though, it’s kind of freeing. A lot of it I don’t use and some I question why I bought it. Having fewer devices is less of a PITA as well. And I love that.

[famouskidvgi]

Years ago you actually got me back into ...and here is a classic for ya ....Nightshade NES.. That took me back bro play them on my new handhelds today lol ...looks amazing too great video man

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.

Not to be a jerk, but the fact you keep posting videos on this subject comes across like you’re trying to convince yourself that you made the right decision.

I’m not saying you regret a thing, just saying how these videos seem to come across.

"He came stayed the night with me, this that, and the other. We filmed a bunch of videos". RGT 85

[caderik]

Really like the positive vibe of this video. I'd love to see a video with a quick tour of your favorite retro games and why you think they are important

[steviebarrett]

During and post lockdown, I sold a huge chunk of my gaming collection because I figured if I didn't play it during lockdown then I never would! Money was never the motive for me but it did help a lot when I moved recently.

[SGA]

Did same thing a few years ago. Love having the space and extra money. Still absolutely love the hobby just in it from a different approach that works best for me. Def stand behind this guys :)

[THWRH]

I have regretted every gaming related thing I’ve ever sold. They will always be those things you just can’t get them back. It’s always heart breaking 😔
