Posted by substance J on October 09, 2026 at 23:53:46 EST in reply to I really hate selling shit, not the parting necessarily but the actual act of selling it. That pretty much keeps me from really moving stuff in itself. I also play my old crap all the time and rarely buy new games so I do get use out of most of it. My kid is 11 now and loves 16-bit which is %75 of my stuff. I have thought about trading Panzer Dragoon Saga for an arcade machine…because that’s how much fucking money it’s worth now, but I’m too lazy to even bother. Luna Ian just bought a house, maybe he has something interesting to add.
Obviously I’m not paying modern prices but I do still buy old old games. I buy like one MVS game a year, I’m up to 14 I think. When I got super into mahjong I bought a bunch of old ¥100 jong junk. I have most of the games I want and I play them so there hasn’t been a lot of action. I haven’t been broke in a long time either. Some day! (n/t) from SignOfZeta.
On the topic of real estate, I think I'd be more eager to sell chunks of my collection had I not become a home owner. The funds that would have once been rolled back into a fabulous Neo Geo collection now pay for a... sump pump. Somehow that just doesn't get the blood flowing the same way.
