Should I list them on eBay individually? As a lot? Throw them away? I don;t necessarily want to take the time to go through and sell them all individually, but I guess a starting point would be to look for the valuable games from the ones I have and maybe try to sell those separately. Some have cases, others do not?

What says the gaming board?

List what you have and what you want for them. I have been collecting some here and there.

1. Take them out into a field.

2. Stack them nicely into a pyramid shaped pile.

3. Pour gasoline on the top of them.

4. Ignite the gasoline.

5. Take of picture of you pissing on the flaming pile of video games.

6. post picture on /r/games.

I would go through them thoroughly first. You should at least be able to get a few bucks but definitely don't toss them.

I recently donated all of my old PS2, PS1, and XBox games to Goodwill. I did not bother to go through them. I recommend doing the same. Who is out there buying games for consoles 20 years old?

I know plenty of people who feel like modern games are too complex and prefer retro stuff. It's not huge, but there is a market for it.

Who buys cars that are 40, 50, or 60 years old ?

If you can think it up, there is probably someone who is a collector of it.

There are some valuable Genesis games as well. Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage 3, and Phantasy Star IV all go for $50 - $100 on Ebay depending on condition and what they include (manual, art insert, etc).

my younger brother has that, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and Secret of Evermore.


For the SNES the rarest game I've got is Super Noah's Ark 3D with the box and everything. My brother gave it to me as a gag gift years before its price shot up.

My favorite "collectable" game that I own is the Wii Metroid Prime Trilogy in the metal case. When I first bought it I didn't even think of it as a collectable. I just wanted to play Prime 1&2 with Wii controls.
