The major problem is space, not just for the games but I collect movies, books, and some magazines too, still need space for bed in a minuscule room. haha
Same, except my magazines are digital now.

Definitely need to sell some items, especially ones in my Sell List, if I want more space.


Please check out the games I have for sale.

Definitely either my console boxes or the two Steel Battalions I recently got.

You just keep waiving that one in my face, dontcha?

Exactly what I was thinking! :P
"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed
if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I
became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis

Cartridges without end labels! Or any of those Atari 2600 cartridges that are oddly shaped. Also Tengen NES Games.

My N64 games look ghetto because of this. I couldn't stand looking into my pull-out drawer and having to lift each N64 game individually. So I made cheap-labels out of duct-tape and a sharpie.

Loose Game Boy games are worst for this. Not only do they have no end-labels, but they're tiny!!

anything that doesn't look uniform with everything else, so basically LE,CE, & ETC. Funny right?

Easy fix for that. I keep all my Game Boy games in 6-pocket trading card pages in a binder (the long card plastics).

I shove mine in a small tub I found at a dollar store!

It's not going to stop either ;)


Next time I post in any thread, even if it has nothing to do with the topic, I'll mention the two Steel Battalions.


"Yeah, the weather has been really crappy recently, and I've been having car problems. . .but I have two Steel Battalions, so who cares :D!!!"

The most awkward thing I deal with is posters since I buy a decent amount of posters and wall scrolls on ebay and refuse to fold them so I have tons just tossed around and they are a pain no matter where I put em.

You can buy poster tubes to roll them and store them in. Some local comic shops sell them. Or there's always eBay.

I have mine in 9 card sleeves. You can fit more in a binder that way.
My collection doesn't include my Steam or PSN games, just physical games.
