How many of you went and sold all your games back in the day?

I traded in about 20 xbox 360 games when I got my PS3 years ago, but most of them were shit games I didn't play anymore. I was more of a rental kid back in the day, so I never really had many games that were actually mine (I probably had 10 to 15 games on PS2 growing up), but I do still have both of the games my parents got me alongside my PS2 for Christmas in 2001 (Fifa 2002 and 007 Agent Under Fire) those are sentimental to me still. All of the SNES games I had growing up are now at my brother's house and I've since gone and added most of those to my current personal collection. I really never liked selling or trading in games and unless it's a dupe or something that I really hate I probably never will now.

One thing I've come to learn about myself is that I am EXTREMELY nostalgic and sentimental when it comes to video games. I don't like giving 'em up. Even all my Madden's.

I sold virtually all my stuff at one point. I was probably around 17. I wasn't having fun with Nintendo. The Dreamcast just died and I felt kinda burnt. I was also more interested in friends, girls, and gearing up for college. I kept a few things. My childhood SNES is still at my patents house with 10 or so games. My sister and I still play Top Gear and Mario Paint on holidays. I kept some Dreamcast games (I don't know what happened to the system. I don't remember selling it. And keeping games does not make sense. Probably got lost in the move). Other than that it's all replacement stuff.

I had a big NES collection. It was the only system I actively collected for. I had well over 100 games. Not a huge collection but not small. This was done in the late 90s when the gettin' was good. The sellin' was not good though...

I'd probably sell again. Not Sega. I've done so much writing for sites and interacting with people online that it means a lot to me. I toy around with selling XBox stuff. I really enjoy it. But, I don't know how collector friendly the XBox One will be. The completionist in me hates that. I could see starting a 3DO collection. Experimenting with that and then selling it once I got bored. There is some fun in collecting and searching, and in essence trowing it back.

When I was a kid, I thought my SNES was broken (it was actually just the cord). So, me and my brother went out and sold all our games to buy an N64... I've since re-gotten almost everything I originally owned (bar a few things like Super Tennis), but I still really wish I hadn't. We had all the SNES classics...

Ive never sold off a collection but am on my 3rd one now. When I joined the Navy in 93, my mom tossed all my stuff I had to get me to "grow up". All my NWC stuff and retro magazines are gone forever. My second loss come when I was living with my ex Cassie. We had a weird relationship as it was (worked at the same place, she moved in with me the day we started hanging out, etc). Well, I got an Xbox and Morrowind and started playing it ... it got pretty addictive to the point where the only time I paid her any attention was at work. When we were at home, I was kicking ass on the game. One day (after a huge fight about the game and my lack of wanting kids/dogs) I went to work. When I got home, she moved all her stuff out of the apartment and sold off my entire game collection. She left me a note and $40 for the collection she sold. Was furious. As I mentioned in another post before, Ive pretty much replaced everything but my Saturn and Magic knight Rayearth. I also never replaced my CIB Valkyrie profile w/strat guide but I wasnt too happy with that game anyhow.
