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 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.

I'm building my collection to this day as a big Playstation fan working on it as we speak, even working on sega genesis games as well as other consoles I own, I just recently bought a model 1, love it very much I even purchased me my first bookshelf for my games not too long ago and I know for a fact once more games keep on coming ima have to eventually get a bigger shelf, but I can honestly say there's nothing wrong with it as long as you got the extra money for it, to me I look for well taken care of games that come with everything including manual and case as well as best as possible well taken care of discs, usually almost finding brand new can be pretty pricey but they can definitely hold a sentimental value depending on the individual, but all in all I make sure to get mint condition as possible it makes my collection look so beautiful and gives me tons of options on what to play, yes I also love emulation games on other consoles and devices as well, but I still love to preserve my games physically that puts a big smile on my face, it's been one of my sorta childhood dreams and I'm making it happen work in progress, definitely one of my favorite hobbies!

I’m happy for you. I’m a very attached to my stuff, though. Do I need an original Xbox translucent blue controller unopened in a box full of unopened controllers? No. But I’ve tried to declutter in the past and, personally, I’ve generally ended up regretting it. But that’s me. Everybody’s different. Personally, the only reason for having money (aside from security and peace of mind) is to acquire stuff. I’m on a mission to buy all the stuff I couldn’t afford as a kid. Do I need Firefly mint on card? Again, nope. But it reminds me of being a kid in the 80s and 90s and for some reason makes me happy. But I recognize that too much stuff can be a burden, too. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the amount of games I have and then end up not playing anything. But for the most part, I like having a toy store/ video game museum in my house. I was going to order an expensive blu ray box set of Evangelion, because it has the original ADV English voice actors instead of the new Netflix dub. The box art looked familiar, so I went down to my basement where I have most of my physical media stored (I mostly just use vudu and so forth, now. But I new I’d regret it if I sold off my physical library) and it turns out I bought that box set years ago and forgot. It’s nice to be able to go shopping in your house. My nephew somehow discovered Batman the animated series a couple years ago. I’m not sure where he would have seen it, but regardless, I was like “hey, you like batman the animated series? Check this out.” And I brought up several boxes of unopened DC Direct, animation accurate Batman TAS figures and an extra blu ray box set of the series and mask of the phantasm. I loaded up two shopping bags full of batman stuff for him. You’d think I gave him a corvette. I’m the cool uncle now. All because I’m a compulsive hoarder. So, I guess what I’m saying is, yay materialism!

I don't have time enough to play the hundreds of games I have for probably a dozen consoles.. yes, I would miss having certain titles and some original hardware, however, (as far as "completeness",) I'm CERTAIN I wouldn't miss the collection of sports games I purchased for my Saturn.. seriously, those golf games are painfully buggy and slow. On the other hand my arcade style games and RPGs are comforting places to be.

Getting rid of things y9u don't need anymore, I think the freeing feeling comes partly from having less responsibility to worry about, and partly from less obligation to use something/get value out of it which often requires spending time on it, since not getting value/use out of something creates a kind of low level stress/guilt. Maybe it's also the act of successfully concluding something.

I was only surprised you sold the Sega 32x games since you made a book about it.

I have my consoles from my NES I bought when I was a child up to the last console I bought which was the PS4 I don't play them, I don't really game much now and I have a lot of the games (at least the earlier generations) as ROMs. It's not only the games taking up space but it's the consoles and controllers and other accessories. I am tempted just to sell a lot of it on because it is taking up space. There are things like the NES zapper (but I don't have a CRT TV anymore) and accessories like the PS Move and cameras which I couldn't really emulate but then I haven't used them in years I did this with my Funko Pops which I have sold a lot of. I binned the boxes as I wasn't an in-box collector but decided I didn't really need them and I hadn't paid a lot for most of them

I would have just kept the 32x games. I sold mine almost 2 decades ago and that is my only selling regret. The only reason is there are some fun games I played that are stuck to that console and they are expensive now.

Its all about seeing the stuff you have brother! Why keep it unless you love it or you want to play the price game!

You know what, everythig comes and goes. As you will eventually have to let go of things it is often best not to get too attached to stuff for real. If you can be happy with few possessions and people in your life, that will make you really powerful. The root of all suffering is desire, so letting go of attachments to stuff is a great mindfulness or even "spiritual" practise.

A lot of this "de-cluttering" "minimalistic movement" is posible thanks to technology (streaming, digital photos, emulation, etc.). Twenty years ago, you couldn't get rid of your VHS, DVD, or gaming collection without letting go those memories forever. So, I don't thing that RGT 85, could do this in the early 2000s. Technology has allowed him to get rid of everything. Without emulation, he will not do it.

Lately I’ve been tweaking game collections on my Retropi and digital games on Switch and Xbox One. And barely play any games. But I’ve been selling my extra consoles and sold off my comics (now I have more on my Kindle than I had physical). We as men, (and women) love the pursuit of the hunt. But once we have that game, there it sits on the shelf of conquest…..and collects dust

sold mine nearly 20 years ago for school and housing. Seeing what stuff goes for now makes me so sad

I've always been a collector of many different things, but I'm the same when it comes to clutter after awhile when the collection gets big I start letting go. It also let's me start a new adventure in collecting.
