Nice way to brag that your collection is actually worth about that much... :)

My collection is no way near worth that much. the most valuable games are mainly the working designs collection and it is valued around $2000 I think. Most of my high priced games are under $125. the $350,000 was my "I really don't want to sell it" price.  I tend to be very mercenary  about things. Hell if someone offered me twice what I paid for my house.... I would be moving that day.

Personally I'd never sell my WHOLE collection. There's just too much sentimental value to some of the stuff. In particular my Genesis and my copy of Sonic 1. My mom gave me those back in the day and I used to spend hours trying to get past Marble Zone until finally giving her the controller just so I could see Spring Yard lol. That game and console are literally the whole reason I got into gaming.

I really only want to keep stuff for disc based systems. The rest I can emulate pretty well. I don't have anything listed.right now, but here my eBay profile: https://ebay.com/usr/striderzero

I recently moved out of state and just packed up and threw EVERYTHING in boxes, some of which was in my parents attic. Unfortunately I didn't really take care of anything when I was a kid, so lots of toys and boxes are in really bad shape. Also had some stuff from my deceased parents, like my mom's old Beatles stuff. If you look at my recent sales:

https://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?isRefine=true&_nkw=&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=30319&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=1&_fss=1&_fsradio=%26LH_SpecificSeller%3D1&_saslop=1&_sasl=striderzero&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1&_mwBanner=1

you'll see I had some rare games like Mega Man V on Game Boy and Death Race on NES. I had no idea they were rare until some friends saw my auctions and told me so. I also get rid of my digital codes from my Blu Rays and sometimes the Blu Rays themselves in the case of Marvel MCU films. I have the giant $200 boxsets from Phases 1 and 2 and am waiting for the Phase 3 boxset which will hopefully be made. I'm keeping only the DVDs until I get new Blus in the boxset.

Definitely don't think I'd sell it unless I could buy it all back and still make a profit, which obviously wouldn't be the case for a sane buyer. I just love the gathering of everything on the shelves and reliving all the nostalgia and even playing new games, video games are and always have been my biggest hobby. To sell them all wouldn't make much sense for me at least.
