great reaction, I appreciate all of the comments and information. I am not completely sold on selling my games, as I do play them from time to time, and my SNES fairly regularly (GradiusIII is my favorite party game, that and Super Off Road). My wife and I are all about tiny houses and camping/backpacking right now, and there's really no room for a tv and boxes of video games in a tiny house or a campsite. Also she's intent on paying off some debt we've accrued since a move from New Jersey back home to California, so there is that motivation. Demon's Crest I know vg.pricecharting has it at 117 loose, so if someone wants to offer I'm up for negotiation just dm me. I might put my whole collection up in the marketplace otherwise, it may be time to give these guys a new home where they'll get more attention.

I do love the nostalgia every time I play Bart vs the Space Mutants NES or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers SNES, though, which has kept them around all these years.

actually it's a complicated subject. I've held on to all my childhood systems for the last 20 years, moving them with me from california to new jersey and back. I haven't really done much with them (aside from my SNES which has always been my favorite), and I just decided maybe it's time to let someone give these things a more fulfilling life.

So my real question is probably what is the state of the market? Is it on the way up? Should I hold on to them for another year, or is the market gonna dip again and I should sell sell sell. Not that any of you are retro gaming stock brokers or anything.

Just curious, as I am married and my wife has been on me about getting rid of it, how is the retro gaming market right now? I have:

NES, complete working system, with games

SNES, complete working, with a lot of games, including Demon's Crest (who would've known this would be my most valuable game)

Sega Genesis, complete working, with games and accessories

TurboGrafx-16, complete working great condition, 4 games

plus a gamecube and a nintendo 64, both complete and working with games. both have damaged controllers.

Thanks for any help.
