Thanks for the help on the sale everyone. And especially to those who had the patience and understanding when I made a couple of slip-ups. Trying to work 3 jobs and manually handle all of the selling has proven to be a bit too much for me, so I've taken the link down. Will likely head to ebay with the rest so I can at least have most of the process automated for me.

I'm well over halfway to my goal, so thank you again to everyone who purchased something.

As the title states, I'm done with the collecting thing. I've spent 20+ years collecting games in this hobby and it has controlled my life. I've made poor decisions in regards to spending and it's bitten me in the ass. It's cost me a relationship that I deeply regret losing, so it's time for me to make changes in my life. I'm keeping a good number of games but I'm dumping well over 70% of my total.

That said, I will still work on covers - maybe I'll have more time to do them since I won't be so stressed out.

ROUND 2.

Everyone who's purchased has either received their stuff or it's on the way to them - so it's time for a second round with lower prices. Not wanting to go below the prices I have here if it can be helped.

Plus there's a handful of new stuff that wasn't on the list before - deals can be made on this stuff.

I don't want to have to make another round of sales, so help me clear the rest of it out.

My rules:

NO TRADES. NONE.
Paypal only.
Everything will ship USPS. Unless it's heavy, then we'll check options. I have a scale for accurate shipping costs.
PM your wants. First come first served. PM your questions too - I don't really check the thread as much.
I'll check this a handful of times a day. Work and life are busy enough that I can't sit on here and watch like I used to.
Domestic shipping is easy to do from home, but international stuff might take a bit longer since I actually have to go to the post office.

LOCAL PICKUP IS OKAY IF YOU CONTACT ME FIRST!

Thanks. I'll be honest, selling games has really helped. It's like I'm realizing that there is a lot more to life than amassing tons of games. Which, don't get me wrong, is cool and all, but not when you can't keep it in check and it runs rampant over everything. I'd rather see things go to collectors, which is why I've posted the list here and at the old Digital Press Retrogaming Roundtable forums.

I'd personally be interested in Ninja Gaiden Shadow for the Game Boy and Zillion II on the Master System. I'd also be interested in the manual for X-Men 2 on the Genesis, but I'd understand if your not willing to separate.

Good luck with the sale Oobgram.  Looking to downsize again myself soon, otherwise I'd probably take you up on a few.

I kinda have to echo the sentiments of FritzWhite as well.  Congrats on being able to realize when a collection becomes an obsession and having the courage to dial back when things get out of hand.  Been down that road a few times myself.  It's hella hard at first, but you'll probably find yourself breathing a sigh of relief after a while.

I'd like Senran Kagura 3DS, Zero Escape Vita, and Daytona USA Dreamcast if you still have them!  Good luck with all of the life events happening outside of collecting.
I'm bender3455 on playstation network, feel free to add me!
