2024 Gaming/Collecting Goals
sworddude:
Gameplay wise, Play more disc based games of playstation era. less focus on carts or anything sega.
Collection wise. No goals in mind Just chipping away at stuff that I still want if it comes along the way at a good price. Just going to take it slow like usual. No need to rush stuff.

I think my only goal is to get around buying Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on GBA. It's not rare or expensive, but I just had different priorities this year and haven't come around to it. Once I have that one, I have a copy of every unique Harry Potter main game until the 6th. I had the 6th as a kid and it was so horrible that I gave up on it, and now as an adult I've decided to only collect the first 5. I do miss some spin-offs like Quiditch Tournament but I never liked the quiditich in the games anyways.
I played those games so much in my childhood they became iconic to me. Remember every day at school just waiting for school to end so I could go home and play. Back then on PC and the original XBOX, which sadly got lost later when we moved. Anyways it makes it a part of my collection I'd like to finish, and I'm almost there.
Perhaps another goal is to get one of those later GBA with nicer screen to play GBC games. I now play my GBA games on a DSlite, but that doesn't work for GBC, despite me thinking I had childhood memories of doing so :o .
Otherwise just continue collecting based on wishlist and what I feel like playing over time.

One of my main goals is to expand my Switch collection and get Mario Wonder and Pokemon Violet for it. Another goal is to add Lufia 2 to my SNES collection.

2023 started me down the "anti-collecting" path and 2024 will seem me continuing this trend.
I understand this is a collecting site.. and I am in no way suggesting others do the same, but as I get older I find the idea of accumulating "things" no longer interests me. Its funny, because while I've been getting rid of all my physical games, and repurchasing the games I actually want to play in a digital format, I also find my wanting to PLAY more games. So with all this said, here are my 3 goals for 2024
1. Finish selling off the rest of my physical collection.
2. Repurchase the select digital games I actually intend on playing and get them cataloged on the site.
3. PLAY MORE GAMES.
That's it, nice and simple.

How are you going about selling things? I've been thinking about that a lot lately. I'm at the point that the only games I have out on display are games I actually intend on playing, everything else is boxed away. So I think about selling off the boxed away stuff (literally thousands of games) but I just don't see any good way to get rid of them.
. Go to local game shop and get pennies on the dollar or less because I would want cash and not store credit
. Sell on ebay, hit the $600 minimum, have to file taxes on the sales, deal with ebay's rising selling costs, shipping costs, potential scammers, and still not be able to sell half of it.
. Sell locally and deal with 99% "Still available? [Yes] Will you take $1 for all of it?"
