Should I sell my video game collection?

Question

I have over 50 Gamecube games (all the good ones), 50 Wii games (all good and rare ones), many N64 games, SNES games and a few Nintendo consoles complete in box. I bought many of these games on eBay 2-3 at a time and I hate having many games and I havent played more than half of them. I really want a Fender stratocaster and a new Taylor acoustic. Should I sell my entire collection or should I sell half of what I have and slowly start again but one console at a time. I feel like I spent too much money in the past 2 years and kinda regret, but I really love Nintendo's games. :-/
I want to save for a trip to New York as well, which can be expensive, but 1/4 of my collection should cover it. Please help. What would you do? I might regret it, but I want to sell lots of stuff because I need money as well. Thanks.

No, don't sell them.

I have 
45 Wii games
50 GameCube games
55 N64 games
18 SNES games
10 ds games.
You'd be surprise at how much they are worth.

I think you'd regret selling them, I don't know how old you are but if your working then look for a second job to make the money.
Do odd jobs for your neighbours for money.

I'd rather sell stuff from my house than get rid of my beloved collection haha!!

Gamecube Game Collection

Dustin · Answer

Honestly, Nintendo games are kind of a novelty now. Which is a good thing. If you go on Amazon and look for GameCube games, some range from 30-120$. I would hold on to the ones you know will be worth something in the future and sell it then. It's like people collecting Atari's and Super Nintendo now. They are a rarity in the gaming world as time passes on. You have history in a collection. You shouldn't sell it to buy something else that will lose value a lot quicker. Just my opinion though.

Ask your self this question which is more important or worth it to you that trip to new York or those gamecube games when I get back from new York.. what happened to my gamecube game collection: hmm now im thinking I shouldn't have down that because those were my favorite games that are so addicting and fun >, ah bummers that trip to new York was well worth it and fun but now my hard earn Nintendo collection of games is gone because of this trip now I probably will never be able to get those games back ever again because im tight on money here im sorry Nintendo I let you down v
im gonna sit in a corner and cry :( >< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

im not trying to insult you in anyway just so your aware of that I hope you see my point that's all :)

Keep the gamecube ones you like and the wii ones u like to
sell the rest of the games and consoles. Play them all first though!

I agree with darkite and mandy. Sell all the games you don't play, but wii and gamecube games are the best, so choose carefully with those games. I would say sell all your SNES games, and most of your n64 games (some of them are pretty good too)

mandy · Answer

My advice would be to keep the ones that you actually play, and then make money off of the ones you don't play, that way you won't have a bunch of games that have never been put to use, and some extra pocket money

Ask yourself if you want to go on a Nice trip or want to be stuck with dusty games -.-
I love games but grow up.:/
