So I have been toying around with the idea of selling my collection. It occurred t me that I mainly play SMS games on my PC (ROMS) and rarely ever on any physical system. Have any of you gone this route or have considered this?

I've heard of people selling their collections, often they regret this afterwards especially if they still enjoy games.

I also use either an Everdrive or an emulator more often than popping in the actual cartridges. However, I also really enjoy just looking at the boxes and reading the manuals each day so I'm still digging having the physical collection. I have it in the back of my mind that I could sell them some day if I needed the money, but I'm not very tempted and the logistics of it - since realistically I'd have to sell just about everything individually - are not appealing. And I'm pretty sure I've got one of the smallest collections on here!

My games are on a shelf in my closet. I have approx. 103 games. I would sell most of my collection and keep a few games that hold nostalgic value.

You will have to pry my games from my cold, dead hand.

I've sold off some stuff and am now selling off some more. I'll always keep some of it, mostly nostalgic games but also some other stuff. Still planning on collecting as I enjoy the hunt, but I don't feel the need for any kind of "complete" collection. There will be regrets for sure, but an everdrive and a pocket full of cash help ease that pain 😜 Edit: good luck either way you decide

Don't sell anything you spent a lot on or that seems like they are difficult to find nowadays. In case you'd be willing to collect again, it's the best way to have regrets.

I wouldn't sell mine. I did that once before and here I am with a reasonable size collection again.

I've heard of people selling their collections, often they regret this afterwards especially if they still enjoy games. The people you _hear_ about are a subset of the total people. By definition you only hear about it if they are still posting on a retro gaming forum, because they are still interested in it and have a nostalgia urge in the moment. But I'm sure that for 1 person who have regrets there's like 10 who don't and feel happily freed from the space and weight My two cents.
