Should I sell the lot?
Discussion
I've been selling off all my childhood stuff (lego, RC cars, models etc) and have now got to my console collection.
SNES PS PS2 DC N64 X-Box GBP GBA DS Wii Saturn, loads of games, loads of accesories.
I haven't used any in ages, my grand games room in my flat last year with them all set-up was a flop (never enough time or enough mates around).
I'll keep the 360 for current gaming but I'm really torn as to whether to flog the lot? Don't really want to deal with selling it all individually but don't want to let it go for peanuts.
I think I won't use any of them again so should sell but then think "I should keep the SNES and Mario Kart, oh and better keep the N64 and Goldeneye, should keep the DC and Soul Caliber as well etc etc etc"
AAARGGGGHHHHH!
what do I do?

It depends on the condition as to whether it's worth selling...
I just paid £80 for a boxed NES with nothing more than the standard 'action set' box with 2 controllers, light gun & Duck Hunt/Mario. It is pristine, and looks almost new though.
If it's not in good condition, it obviously won't fetch as much and then IMO wouldn't be worth getting rid of.
I sold my N64 when I was younger and always regretted it... to the point I rebought one about a year ago!
If you do want rid, PM me I'll probably take some of it off your hands

Only the games and the Wii are boxed. I might just flog the Wii and a few choice bits then leave the rest in storage then.I just paid £80 for a boxed NES with nothing more than the standard 'action set' box with 2 controllers, light gun & Duck Hunt/Mario.

Retro gaming is never as cool as you think when you actually play them.
Plus all those consoles are playable on a pc using an emulator, and I bet you you will just go back to playing the latest and greatest on your 360.
Get a bit of money for them and stop lugging them from flat to flat lol
By the way I have a few Atari 2600 games for sale if someone want to pay me silly money for them lol

I didnt realise they were worth so much, I still have my nes in the attic boxed and in perferct condition, along with about 30 games. I think Ill keep hold of it though.I just paid £80 for a boxed NES with nothing more than the standard 'action set' box with 2 controllers, light gun & Duck Hunt/Mario.

is the saturn white or grey if so will be intrested. also the dreamcast i might be, has the snes any yellowing, id be intrested, depending on prices of course, i just picked a mint boxed snes up last night local for £8.50, yes lucky i know, now i have 3 of the damn things
Alas no, the Saturn is black, Snes is pretty 'yellowed' now. I'll have a think about the DC.got umpteen boxed vmu's and controllers etc for the dreamcast, games wise nothing at the minute, i sold a sturn ntscj console looking for another boxed, went back toward nintendo again at the moment, the misus is going mad again though so might have to slow down alittle

The what?I love the DC most of all, best console ever, If I was keeping only one it would be the DC.
