Well so far I have scoured my parents house for anything video game collection, I will post some pictures. 

I wish you would have said what red flags anyways. Thanks for everyone's input I am whooped today. I will keep updating this post but the rents said no to the Insurence hike.

10k? hmm your right but I played every game I owned that's the value to me however if anyone has every playstation 1&2 demo disc let me know I'm starting over again.

 Argh I can not believe this happens. My house got robbed out west had some great PS3 stuff and got the check and moved back and now this shight.

General / HELP! Someone stole my entire video game collection..sold to local owned store??

HELP! Someone stole my entire video game collection..sold to local owned store??

When I went to look for something in the attic, I almost died when I found 14 Rubbermaid containers missing I estimated my collection to be worth Over 10k as I have been collecting games for 25 years. 

I found out it was a family member and they only gave him 300$ cash. What do you even do?

 I just got back from living out of state and went to pick up my collection from my parents house to take it to my apartment where I planed on making a floor to ceiling shelf to display it all and run wires to every system into a sound system and HDTV. 

Every system every box gone. Hundreds even Thousands  of hours hunting flee markets, garage sales, the saddest thing is all that is left is a box with a sealed copy of Mario 3 that my girlfriend opened to play (one of the reasons I love her but that's a whole other story and I can do is laugh and it is not funny).  

Here's the kicker!

Okay I'm freaking out bit the worst part is it was 2 years ago when this happened freaked out but what to do argh'nn!!!! 

Ahha but I was smart when I was a lad and made a binder filled with the name and codes of every game I owned and yes this I still have it is the "Ultimate Game Collection" by DCFJSJ wow I was 7 years old when I type this up on a "TI with printer in the box owned by my dad a psychologist" and that's gone too. ( single tear )

So I will bring this magical binder to their main building and offer them 300$ and see what they say. My worry is they say no or it's all gone. 

I mean it was a Sega Genesis I got for Christmas when I was 9 box complete you can't put a price on that can you? 

Even so I will update when I figure this out.

What would you do? ( besides murder death kill ) 

FML

Regards Sincerely,

If I had a time machine I would make this one of my stops, there was a "special" kid who was there everyday, playing games like it was his personal arcade. Later in life when I was 17 I managed a EB Games. He came into my store and I let him play whatever he wanted he kept people from shoplifting and stopped someone robbing us, Chris where ever you are I have a copy of Mortal Kombat Trilogy I would give anything to see you do every Fatality again with every character, and it was amazing he did it all from memory. We watched him play games he beat every game we let him play. I mean anything and I never saw anyone beat him in a fighting game either. I to this day believe him to be an undiscovered savant the stories I have...
I told that story what your retro gamer story.
