Should i sell my collection?

So i came to a point last night that id like to sell off my collection of games that i have plat or no longer will play. Im stuck between doing this or keeping the games for collectiono purpoises. 95% of these game i have plat and will no longer play and well whats the use of them?

Personal opinion you think i should keep the games regardless of ill never play them ever again or just go ahead and sell them off to get something new or bank some cash?

I got about 20 titles to sell and most are single player and truly are useless, but the collector part of me is holding me back.

Up to you, bro. You're gonna get opinions for both sides of the argument. I would say sell them and enjoy what you choose to buy with their profits. I traded in my AC2, The Show '10, WKC, and COD Reflex the other day and I bought a PSP. Best thing I ever did.

Yea... Make back some of the money you spent. Maybe you should look intoGamefly and not buy as many games.

Well only sell the ones you think might be worth something and I know how you feel, I hate selling any of my games and when I have to I feel like crap :(.

its entirely depends on the game. If it was a mistake to purchase it and you don't care for it and can get a good few bucks back, then great. If its not, then I think the idea is REALLY stupid. I guess not all people enjoy going back to play mastperieces like Uncharted 2? I know I have done this with many games before it such as Super Metroid and Ocarina of Time. Selling great games for a couple bucks is NOT worth it. If you are just going to play the game once, rent it!

Tried gamefly. Just didn't like them not having a games i wanted at the moment and the time it took to get the game. Also i play through multiple games at a time. Keeps things fresh and not bogged down in a single game so id rather buy a used game and have others to play as well.

Probably just gonna sell off these i got and just pick up a few cheap ones and some of the upcoming new ones. With the way scores are so low though, i really don't have much to look forward too.

Depends on what you want. Do you want to be seen as a collector? Then keep them. I personally don't take games that seriously, the moment I know I'm over a game I trade it in. If they're older games from last gen then I wouldn't bother, but if they're from this gen and you know you won't play them again? Then hell yeah, unless you're a collector, then why not? You get to play more games this way.

No you shouldn't. You probably never be able to get that much money off of them to justify selling them. Also even if you don't think so now, there will be a time when you will wan't to play those games again (I had games I beat at least five times that I sold that I had to go buy again because I missed them).

well it depends on your games, if you had the list down in the thread we could help you out more. i personally never sell my games cause i buy games i know i will love and play. some of the games i have i havent played for a year or 2 but i will never sell them, i know eventually i will want to play them again. but if a game is extremey worthless and you dont want it cause its so bad, get rid of it.

just get rid of the ones that you dont ever see yourself going back to. i rly dont trade in or sella lot of games, unless its something like a sports title or the sequel completely outshines the og.

only you can make the call. but i mainly play sp games since i dnt have online at my apartment. so, if your cool (and you are cool right? lol) pm me your titles your wantin to part with and maybe we can play lets make a deal.

I'd say save the multiplayer ones and sell the ones you feel you'll likely never revisit

Hey, I sold , maybe 20 games in the last 2 years. I regret some, but I kept the gems for me like FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, some of Ps2, and the best(IMO)of the Ps3, the games that I knew i would never play again or the games I bought because of some weird feeling(AHAHAH)I have sold and do NOT regret, and still se myself as a collector, because IMO I have the best games since N64,

Maybe not a quantity collector but Definetly a Quality Collector.( Sorry If i made some mistake with gramar.)

I wouldnt do it.

Although you might be tired of the games now you never know down the line when you might get an itch to play them again. I was thinking of doing the same thing with all of my PS2 games at one point but I didnt and about a year later I ended up playing them all again.

In the end it is up to you. I personally try not to sell my games but I do it sometimes. So do it and get a bit of cash.

I put them all on amazon lol. 22 games that made 22 plats.

Im gonna continue to buy games, but i think ill just plat/beat then sell. Although money is not an issue, its nice to spend the money from the games rather than keep on dipping in the bank account.

The good ones or ones ill play again ill just keep, so i sold MWF2 :P

I can't see you gaining enough money back to warrant losing games from your collection. It may have some benefits but personally I like to keep my games. I tend to make sure I want a game before buying it though.

o noes some guy already bought Hanna Montana :(

guess i had to let her go some time.....

It depends, if you have a copy of Resonance of Fate, then yes, sell it, i'm a potential buyer (incredible hard game to find here in Mexico)

Anyway, i haven't sell, trade a lot of games, and honestly i wouldn't do it, you never know when that awful feeling to go back to a game you used to own will hit you, it happend to me with Melee (luckily i was able to find it again), and so far, the only game i will sell/trade is SFIV since i already have SSFIV, then again, it's up to you.

really? Res of Fate is all over amazon. You would pay a strong shipping fee but its not hard to get unless your wanting it in Spanish. I still got like 50 games ive yet to beat/plat. I'm just killing off the dusty ones.

Sell the games that you don't like, and keep those that you may see yourself playing again. You don't get much for selling the games anyway.

If I knew for certain I'd never want to play them again, then I'd sell them.

Noooooooooooooooooooo, Why Did You Let That Game Go??? Best Game Evar!!! :D ;)

I used to purchase all of my games at launchand hold on to the very best after I had beaten them, and then sell the mediocre games after I had beaten them.

Now withevery new purchase, I am playing through the game quickly but leaving myself enough time to enjoy it. Then I will put it on ebay and only lose 10 - 15 %. About the cost of a game rental. Sometimes I will even make money when pre-order sites offer up $20 dollars to preorder the game. Then I am paying $40 and selling for $45 +.

I also recently signed up for gamefly, so my purchasing of $60 dollar titles will decrease drastically as there is a whole backlog of titles I am anticipating playing.

What is nice about the PS3 and 360 is that basically, by playing any title you are adding the game to your "virtual" collection. While wanting a physical copy is understandable for the hardcore collector, my virtual collection is gratifying enough for me while also minimizing shelf clutter. God knows I have too much stuff anyway.

Any game title before this generation needs a physical copy if you are physically collecting, because there is no record of any of us playing any of them other than in our memories. I will relish these days and look back on them very fondly. However I embrace with open arms the future of digital distribution, and our "virtual" collection of games will only continue to grow becoming more and more impressive as you can reflect on your accomplishments in one easily readable and organized list on our consoles dashboards.

It would be very nice if when the future respective consoleis released we are able to import our trophy collectiononto our PS4's profile card and endlessly expand with each console generation after that.

Sell the ones you played solely for obtaining the platinum. What good are those honestly? Keep the ones you actually enjoyed and would have enjoyed even if you didn't have the platinum. That way you keep the games that meant something to you and get rid of the games you didn't care for and reccop a little money.

Sell the ones you bought for easy trophies or the ones you didn't really like, keep the good games even if you don't think you'll play them. Oftentimes I have a random craving for a game, search for it, and remember that I sold it. You'll most likely regret it if you sell a lot of them.

Its up to you :P

Whenever i sold a single-player, even linear game thati actually enjoyed, a year later i would buy it again. (Bioshock being the most obvious, don't know why i ever did that) Have done it enough times to know better. If you really really enjoyed a game don't sell it even though you now think you may not care much for it. If you bought a movie on blu-ray, loved it, would you sell it because in the next year or so youimagine you will not watch it again? Sometimes you want to visit that gameworld even if not going through the whole game, and for me it's torture if i don't have the option!

Im never selling a game again, unless its absolute garbage that i wont even finish (FarCry 2).

I made a mistake and sold my ps1 years back. Those classics are lost forever.

Its fun to come back after years.

I have a working NES under my LED tv right now, and it never gets old.

Someone already bought it lol, its a hot item :)

mmhmm thats the plan. Not to many games id keep for a second round down the road since so many other games can take its place. Im not above playing anything. I mean good Lord i beat Leisure Suit Larry : Movie Office Bust this weekend. Regardless of how bad it was i didn't let it bring me down. Most single player games ill never touch again and very few multiplayer games ill keep since by the time i want to play them again they are dead and useless anyways. As long as games keep coming out i don't mind just getting rid of games i finished.

Goofed up and sold Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection though. Didn't realize what i lost till it sold, but its a cheap reinvestment if needed.

if you sell them. your better off joining gamefly instead of buying games from now on. unless it has a good online mode that will keep you coming back.

which is what i do.....

Im in the same boat TC sort of. Im a collector and have well over 1400 games. I only have 5 PS3 games though. Im thinking of selling off 3 of them to help purchase 3D Dot Game Heroes. I dont play the 3 games Im thinking of selling and I know I will love the 3D Dot game. So my opinion is...IF you are not going to play the games sell and move on.

So i came to a point last night that id like to sell off my collection of games that i have plat or no longer will play. Im stuck between doing this or keeping the games for collectiono purpoises. 95% of these game i have plat and will no longer play and well whats the use of them?

Personal opinion you think i should keep the games regardless of ill never play them ever again or just go ahead and sell them off to get something new or bank some cash?

I got about 20 titles to sell and most are single player and truly are useless, but the collector part of me is holding me back.
