I don’t have any games worth more than maybe $130 at most (MGS 3DS) but I bought when it was dirt cheap. I’ve never focused my collection on getting the rare stuff, moreso games that I enjoy wholeheartedly amongst a few game lots I’ve purchased over the years. I was always self conscious of my collection because I don’t have anything crazy like a copy of Kuon for PS2. Then I realized, I’d probably never want to play the game anyways, so why buy it?

What does collecting mean to you? Do you do it for the “nest egg” or do you do it simply because you like a console, and how has it affected your collection?

Here is my collection so far. I need to finish off the Console table and also include all the digital games.

I've provided photos of my collection, and most times that what we all do. I've never seen people provide their lists.

Does anyone else have theirs to share?

Morbid post here but something that I do think about from time to time. I have never really understood why I collect things to be honest, after all the things themselves don't care where they are or if they exist or not. But I do feel responsible for them.

I don't have children nor do I plan to have them at the age of 45. I suppose if I did, I would plan to hand my games & consoles over. I'm considering drafting a will (again, morbid post warning) so it can be made clear what I want done my games and other things (like my G1 Transformers comics collection)

Most lately I have been thinking of donating to a museum or a YouTube channel like RMC where I think the collection would be appreciated and kept safe. I think if I were to sell off my games while still being around it would make me really sad, and also none of us know exactly how long we have and I imogine still wanting to play games as an old man.

Does anyone else have these thoughts and if so I would be interested to know what plans you would have for your collections.
