Go back in time and try and make better life choices. Who knows, you might even get laid this time around.

Just sell them user

Bunch a stupid games anyway

bump

getting laid is no prob
pic related , it's me

>Owning an atari jaguar

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

can't wait to get a CD-I

It just dawned on me, I could make youtube videos of me destroying them and watch all gamefags rage hard. I just don't think i got it in me

...

Thanks user, you're a real pal :)

Let's be honest here. It's a better option than playing ANY CD-I game.

its a fine hobby to collect things man as long as you are living comfortably why does it matter?

Try gambling. I've lost 900.00 in one week, and lost another 1,000 trying to get it back

I've collected TB of porn, and end up jacking off to only .01% of it.

you make a goot point, but i already have a jaguar and a hyperscan. It's all downhill from here

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

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.

>the ones who play vidya games with you naked and actually beat you at times

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

you are that vlogger for the 80's? Weird Paul?

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

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.

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
It started cause I had a passion for old consoles, now its just compulsion to hoard I got about 8 atari 2600's
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

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!

>that heavy sixer

Does it work?

Do you have the latest consoles too?

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

sell all of that shit. save the money. save up more. live in SE asia fucking horny asian bitches that put out for nothing.

aight fam, touche. But please for the love of all computer science and futuristic catrastophies and events and entertainment whatever
>keep what you have

>be me
>23
>living at home
>spent last 9 years collecting vidya
>except I actually play them and enjoy them

the fuck is wrong with you

why would you respond to that asswipe? dude, you will never get a chance to collect these things again for your kids in the future to know what it was like for us in these days, those days, not even I got to play those systems, I could only name maybe less than half

I used to sing Yellow Submarine in the shower.
Parents hate my guts.

ok thanks for sharing

OP i will buy all your intellivision games, systems and intellivoices,.

get a haircut
shave your face
buy new clothes, never wear your old clothes again

nah could never get into the new shit plus i grew up a poorfag. didn't get a gamecube till 2004

Save everything, even those dope vinyls and lp's
keep EVERYTHING, even computer and laptops, everything
you don't have 40 Year Old Virgin status, but hey, that's totally an awesome. 1+ internet for you bro

>maybe start youtube review channel
>have people donate games to you
>meet sexy comic con qt3.14's

not op but im keeping all my computers already

someone isn't paying attention
no way man fuck that noise
I got a friend who's been a flea market/thrift store owner for 30+ years and you know what, his house is full of shit. yeah its all cool and valuable shit but hes got no room

you know man I got 5000+ disks for commodore but all my 64's and 128's took a huge shit

damn send em my way

no way man, im holding out of finding one for a good deal, the other week my cousin tells me he found me a commodore cib I get to his house and its a worthless fucking vic-20
>mfw

both my vic 20 and 64 are cib
tfw cant find a 128 locally
fbm

the price of the 128 is fucking retarded, after owning so many of them im not willing to shell out that much $$ for such a faulty computer

I cant even find an atari 5200 or 7800, and the prices online for them are just bananas

>vinyls

do what I did, buy broken and repair

I prefer 1/4" tape myself

your place is filthy dude

>its a saturated market
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

I am aware
I'm not driven to do it man, I got lots of ideas but no ambition

>download emulation roms of your games
>sell your collection on ebay
>use money to move out
>be the plot of the 40 year old virgin

no can do got a major hard on for native hardware br0

>no ambition
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

or you could live like an manchild at your parents house for the rest of your life and post threads on Sup Forums on how unfair life is

someones not paying attention

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.

well gee wiz you got me

Use that rubbing alcohol on a rag and wipe down that fucking disgusting NES for starters.

>Physical media is a dead format
LOL

Sell the Rares
Burn the rest
Post on you tube
???
Profit

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.
