Just sold all my retro stuff :(

Hey guys

Feeling a bit sad at the moment. Going to be moving soon, and because of this trying to get rid of a lot of stuff that I really don't need and to try make some extra cash

So as much as I tried to convince myself to keep the stuff, and how it might be used later on, I've parted ways with all my old gear

Included was

A PS2 (20+ games)
Xbox (20+ games)
Gamecube (12 games)
Dreamcast (15 games)
N64 (15 games)
PS1 (30 games)
Megadrive (10 games)
SNES (15 games)
Gameboy (5 games)

A lot of stuff and a lot of happy memories. Wish I didnt have to sell it but it was just being neglected packed away

Anyone else had to part with any gaming gear they have had for years

My dad gave away my N64 for free when I was completely into Goldeneye and 1080.. He got me a PS2 though.. But still was upset :mad:

If it was just packed away and never being used then don't worry about it, it was just taking up space.

At least now it's going to someone who will appreciate it and play it

I know but still, I'm a very sentimental person so thats part of the problem lol

beachBOYken · 5 Mar 2008 at 12:06

i loved the megadrive i always played these games called junglestrike and desert strike where you was a helicopter brilliant games

Steedie · 5 Mar 2008 at 12:12

Yeah the Desert strike series were awesome, except when they made Urban Strike

That seriously sucked

how much you get for all that?

Steedie · 5 Mar 2008 at 12:16

Not much mate

I sold it stupidly cheap

PS2 with all those games, 70 quid
Gamecube with the games, 30 quid

Those sort of prices so about 250 for the lot

dont think i played urban strike but like you say thats proberly why , i can still remember playing them all those years ago so for me they are classics

I outed everything a few years ago because we had a little one on the the way and needed the space.

It hurts for a bit but you soon realise that you don't miss any of it.

I got rid of everything from my 8bit stuff to my Neo-geo cd/carts got about 2K in total (kept my saturn though

)

My Mum would always give away all my stuff when I got a new console.

I didn't mind because I never played them once I got my new console. Until I found that copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga on the Saturn were rare and were being sold for ridiculous amounts of money and realised that I didn't have mine because she had given it to someone.
