What Do You Do With Your Old Games?

[Iceman^2]

Selling games (most of the time) doesn't make sense. Many newer games lose value immediately after you buy them while older games are either rare and expensive or simply not worth rebuying. I keep all my games and store them in cabinets, cd towers, and bookshelves. The only thing wrong with keeping them is storing them because they take up lots of room if you have a lot (like I do). I sell games all the time as well, but they are either junk or duplicates. Selling games to stores is pointless because they never give you as much money as the game is really worth.

I'm just too lazy to sell things unless they worth much money, so i've hoarded over 30 years worth of games and broken consoles in a box. I've been meaning for years to sort it and get on ebay because apparantly some of it could be quite valuable now

Hello:

One of the best part of being a player is also collect some, or many, of your favorites. I keep my entire collection of games. And I keep all the consoles and handhelds I have working too. For me is like remember all the good times, the good friends, and the history of my favorite hobby: Playing and collecting Video Games.

Eh, I just get rid of them. While they would theoretically have sentimental value, they do get bulky after awhile and I like to travel light. If I miss the game a year later when it is no longer mass marketed, I can just download it.

Nobody here uses Goozex? It really is the best way to go, completely changed the way I play games. Not only do I not spend money on games anymore (outside of shipping them) I have more games than I have time to play them. My enormous catalouge of old games that I no longer care for became new and awesome stuff. Evidently someone out there wants that crappy RTS game from 1997.

Most people fear getting rid of their old games because they might miss them later, but on Goozex you can get them right back if you later change your mind. It will be the same price (points) that you sold it for, so it didn't cost you anything outside of a trade credit ($1 unless purchased in bulk).

If you sign up, you even get a free game right off the bat so you can see the system work. I encourage everyone to get on there (I am in no way affiliated with the website btw)

I play them, because the new games are just not as good.

Soul Calibur > Soul Calibur 4
FF2US > FF4DS
etc.
