What is this, VG Uncollect? VG Expel? We systematically make sure we don't own things, and track what we've gotten rid of?Despite the size of my collection and my purchasing habits, I never really considered myself a collector in the first place, I always bought things with the intent of playing them (good or especially bad). These days I find myself playing via emulation, so owning things physically doesn't make much sense to me anymore... except for more modern things.
Besides myself and mabye Wartoy, and TheFlea, I'm pretty sure no one here really likes to collect anymore.
That said, life has been pretty stressful the past couple of years for me so all the things I normally enjoy have lost their luster and I'm pretty apathetic to most things these days.
That all said, the curation talks are pretty valid, there are things I wouldn't sell because I care enough to keep them even if I don't play them, and at that point that is collecting/curating. so :shrug:
I’m to that point. Collections become cumbersome. It’s time to thin the herd.
I honestly got to a point that my collection is a hassle. It’s too big. I’m putting this out there because if I say it out loud, I have to follow through with it.
Now, I just have to take that first step and sell some stuff.
Thanks! Is there a URL so I can put it in my sig?

At 33% off, it's only $230 for an original Wii bundle! LMAO!

Well the Cleveland Gaming Classic was a bit underwhelming. Huge show, not many booths actually selling.... ya know, video games?
One thing I did notice among a lot of these collectors today, is the thirst for PS2/GameCube stuff. Collectors were chomping at the bit to get a crack at the tubs of stuff that just didn't hold much appeal to me. Lots of common PS2, GameCube, DS, and to some extent 360/PS3 stuff seemed to be what most collectors out there were thirsting after. Was only like one vendor who had the super premium rare stuff for the truly retro consoles. No one seemed to bother, as everything was priced in the hundreds of dollars, of course. Had a Klonoa for $700, an obligatory mark-up above eBay price for a false sense of "negotiation" room.
I did grab a handful of stuff, but just a bit underwhelming for a city the size of Cleveland to only have like 15 vendors selling games. Any booth not selling video games was thoroughly ignored by most, haha. It's clear that people come to a "Gaming Classic" for the games.
Mines shipped today. About time.
Mine arrived. How about the rest of you vampire hunters?
