Some people say I like Video Games. The remnants of my video game business(12 years ago). Finally decided I needed to get rid of them. Oreo is camera shy.
The economics are interesting. At the moment I guess all those N64 cartridges are depreciating inventory- but at some point, with the nostalgia factor does it start to appreciate again- like a mint Chevy Nova?
I know a couple of people who have purchased several cartridges (Nintendos, Segas, etc.) for up to ~20$ a piece purely for their nostalgic value (and bear in mind it's Eastern Europe I'm talking about, the purchasing power isn't quite up to par with the US). even though it's unlikely THEY will be interested in what you might have to offer, I can vouch that the collector's/sentimental value dag mentioned does exist already. you may want to hold on to at least a part of that collection
Dude, that's tight. We used to have a considerable stash of NES games and SNES games, but my stupid dad got rid of a lot of them for some crappy PS2 racing game. UGH. He also lost our Zelda II, which pissed me off to no end. I love the old consoles.
I'd be very reluctant to get rid of such a stash, but I see from your comment that it HAS been 12 years!
Personally, I'd build a fort out of them and move my PC into it....but each to his own.
I think I need some tissues.

Atari 2600 cartridges have gone up in value, no?
Nice cat.
Never was a console person. May become one though. PC gaming went and died.

But only if you put it on Craigslist under "barter". Deal?
