Xbox 360 collection.
The stuff on which I spent the most cash by far.
Atari 2600
Got this really cheap on ebay in a package.
N64 collection
Dreamcast
I even had the "online package" with modem cable.
Gamecube
God I hated those bongos
Saturn
Street fighter the movie the game was my favorite
Ps2 stuff
I mostly had that system for music games.
Sega Master System
I think there was a total of one game in my collection that supported the phaser.
A gem from the genesis collection
Genesis (or Megadrive as it's called in the old countries)
a few NES gems
These went for a shitton on ebay
NES collection
a few more gems.
These are called "Contra" in the states.
PS One
Intellivision
Wii games
this is just sad
Xbox
The old hulk
Old Xbox games
These were so cheap on ebay I couldn't stop hoarding them. I played maybe half of these.
GBA
another sad little pile
Original Gameboy
I'm keeping that bad boy, but these games I could let go.
A gem from the xbox collection
The GTA collectors Box in prime condition
Mario Paint
...with mouse and all
Shit I just realised I don't have a cat. I'll link a tax in the first comment.
cshine
Thank you for showing me how those Ikea bookshelves I've been thinking about getting don't look that great after all...
Cormaiyn
Still makes me irrationally upset that two of my blood brothers stole my entire collection of NES games and N64 games...

Kids ruin everything. -you probably
Teutonic
sometimes adulting sucks :(
abbey927
Why did you sell it all
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
I was transitioning from self employed to 9-5 and had some cash flow issues
Sakuralein
that is truly heartbreaking... sure those sad pet stories here are sad, but this... I hope u can make another collection one day
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
I am already making plans. I will follow up on this story some day
LionHeart31337
Thanks for sharing! Great post, and sorry for your loss man. I know that can't be easy.
stewizbad
Sorry for your loss.
blvckest
That was stupid
TheseCatsWeFound
That's actually the Sega Master System II. The I was all angular and shit. It was awesome and you could get 3D glasses for it!
unknownbastard
The 3D glasses work decent on an old CRT TV, they aren't worth a damn on plasma or LED TVs. Fancy stuff for mid-1980's tech.
TheseCatsWeFound
I definitely played me some 3D Galaga.
DjBEEFY
I'm sad now.
mechanicalroom4
How long did it take you to collect all of that? How much money was spent?
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
Took me close to 3 years to collect, cost me around 1.5-1.6k, sold it for about 1k more
mechanicalroom4
Dang. Not a bad profit. Quite the beautiful collection though. Shane you had to part with it.
hiyesthisissatan
Shit. You could have sold a kidney or something.
chillinoutmaxinrelaxinallcool
So, what did you buy off the Dollar Menu with the money you made?
FortressOfInsanity
"That comes to $15.34. Did you want that in cash or store credit?" - Gamestop.
onlyfavefapablecontent
if buy the premium pro exclusive membership for only $49.99, you can get an additional $2.00 store credit, or $0.50 cash value.
OscarWilde1854
Then you go in the next day and it's on the shelf for $36,355,789.23 ... fuckers...
FindYourChillMate
Its because they end up with about 2% of the profit from new games so they have to make huge returns on used.
KaJuN
"Would you like to put that toward a pre-order of Uncharted 4?"
Scobeywannn
$15.34 in store credit. About $8.76 in cash.
snupher
And one up vote for you...
8tail
I think you're rather positive when you say $15.34
xMWHx
Nothing more true has ever been said
FlyingDorito
At least you still had your games. Mines were borrowed and never returned.
DarkParn
I've had this happen so many times. I just don't trust anyone with my games/dvds anymore.
MrChiPigg
Nice. What are you going to do with your $105.35?
emtionallyautistic
GameStop be like "bro for all this we can give you 25.00 in store credit, what's your license number?"
MrChiPigg
Seriously.
officethings
Don't. Just Don't do it. I know that you will have many REGURTS. I have traveled this path. I am old. I have seen things. (Contra)
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
Regurts have already been had. I've come to terms with my decision.
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
fake tax, got no real one :(
mountainofpuppies
how much did you sell your soul for?
OmfgImNotLurking
No battletoads?
Boobydoandboobydontbutdoreally
Aw, I had that Garfield. Won it at a fair.
InternetComment
How much money did u make tho?
mountainofpuppies
.
Drakhma
$10 store credit. $11.50 if he sold the boxes with them.
prinskippleskipper63
I see you got a girlfriend too, I'm sorry man.
docsmooth2108
Are you having a baby?
plutus34
I'm guessing a gf.
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
nope :)
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
This seems like something you will regret.
roarcks
Fuck do I love the Kallax series
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
When I bought em they were called Expedit. Does that mean I'm old?
Schnabeltier634
I'm sorry to see that you had to sell all of your gems. That is an epic collection.
jacquelanne
my only question is why....?
ThisIsJustMySecondNSFWAccountMoveAlongOrPMmeIDontCare
I don't think I could have done it. I would rather starve.
calzenth
same, I would have to be extremely desperate to sell my collection, like final eviction notice desperate.
theyjustcallmeD
yea, i have a pretty decent collection and i would slit my throat before i sold any of it.
GraysonHunt
Like hell I'm giving up Mass Effect, Dragons Age or the Witcher.
theyjustcallmeD
mine is mostly older consoles and memorabilia but to each their own!
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
Thank you everyone for giving me and my digital babies a final moment together. Just got word we made it to most viral. Gotta get some sleep
geonerd
Your Pole Position for the 2600 is upside down. Please take the stuff back and take the pictures again.
PrassJunkit
What would be the purpose of having two 360's?
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
My power brick broke while I was in the middle of a borderlands 2 session. Was a weekend. Went out and bought a second Xbox off a short ad.
bingbangboomhamburgertime
no super smash brothers or golden eye on the N64?
cuntdestroy3r69
No zelda either..
magneticgumby
Looking through all the systems, there's a lot of iconic games missing from each. Games that are the sole reason to own that system.
bingbangboomhamburgertime
no wonder he was cool with selling them...
TheOnlySean
How much did you end up getting for it all?
Kidiri
About tree fiddy.
ShortCircuit908
At GameStop, I wouldn't be surprised
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
Around 2.6k.
Imgonnatipyouwell
Fuck really? No offense but my collection is way better than this. Maybe I should hit up ebay.
CoderWithoutCaffeine
That's considerable low. I take you didn't sell to collectors. Probably could have made a killing. Just a guess though.
Goatinacoatfloatingonaboat
Agreed. If you were patient enough to piece that out you'd have done way better, shame there weren't more boxes for Nintendo games though.
KillerTofu615
You actually had a working Intellivision?!
TheDoctorAzAJ
I've got one too. Got about 20 games for it. Unfortunately they're games my parents bought for us, so it's a lot of math defender etc
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
Yes. And I think it was better than the Atari.
KillerTofu615
Finding one of those that isn't broken is absurdly rare. The buttons would stop working or the finger pads would break off.
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
I don't know, I bought mine in 2009, and back then they were cheap and plentyful
Donnicton
Too bad you're in Euroland, I'd have been tempted to buy most of the collection from you myself.
ianbopno
Dude, I hope you don't end up regretting this.
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
It's ok. I had a few very enjoyable years with this collection. Sometimes you gotta move on
bingbangboomhamburgertime
Should've kept a few classics
ianbopno
Enjoy adulting.

I see you german with your USK and "Wendecover" :D
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
I actually worked for the USK for two years :)
motherhoodlum
I believe you got screwed, dear. I would throw myself off a building before selling such a collection, and it was worth way more.

Goatinacoatfloatingonaboat
What's that Mario paint complete worth? I have the whole thing and never see a solid complete listing.
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
Only way to find out is put in on ebay. If the money is not good enough have a friend make the winning bid and keep it.
EmuMoogle
Fuck, man, I could have done better than that, and I live in Europe to boot, so the shipping wouldn't have been too bad...
