Another interesting topic would be "How much would you expect to receive for your current collection?".

I still think my collection would fetch upwards of 10K easily, but you never know.

Mine would probably cost aroun £2k to replace but I would have to be stone broke to even consider selling the whole lot.

Off the top of my head, my collection may be worth $20k. I would never sell it for that price, because it's worth more to me than that. The lowest I would consider selling it for would be something like $50k. That way I would be able to replace everything I just sold, and have some money leftover.

If I wasn't allowed to replace everything, then I wouldn't sell my collection unless I could get like 1 million dollars. Even then, I'd be a very very sad millionaire. Video games are my favorite thing in life, so I won't give it up that easily.

Considering just how integral video games are to my life and my self identity, for figuring out the minimum price I would sell for I would start at "the cost of my mortagage" and work my way up.

I could see my self selling it for 17 grand and I think that's a price that could not be argued by potential seller (I think). They'd be getting over 100 DC titles, 3 Dozen Saturn games, about 100 PS1 as well as PS2 games. I don't even wanna get into hardware LOL!

I have a pretty decent collection, but around the 5k-6k line, I would probably consider parting ways with it. Alot of my games are purely backlogged, and I know that for a good price, I wouldn't miss them too much. I bet if I tallied up my games at the price I bought them at, I'd easily have spent 7-9k, but considering market depreciation, 5K would be a modest offer.

4-5 grand would be enough for me.

IGN has an estimate with their collection thing. Too bad that section of the site has been slow and horrible for the last few years. Last I remember mine was estimated at a worth of 9k or something.

I'd give up my collection for $100,000 USD dollars I believe. :wink:
