Good for you selling your collection Dain. You deserve every dollar for that collection you worked so many years for.

To the new owner, I am not the biggest fan of trying to title the collection as "Carolina Collection". I live in Columbia,SC and it kinda feels weird and an assumption. Can I call mine the "Carolina Collection" as well because I live in SC? I think doing that splinters the collecting community we are trying to build. We need to lift up large and small, new and old time collectors. Not try to make somebody's collection any more special by giving it an exclusive name. It sounds more like a marketing line to me. I have been actively collecting since 1994 and never would have thought that would have happened.

I am the kind of collector that likes to help out fellow collectors. Its a passion and its in my blood. I love watching a new collector get excited for getting some common games for a system they just started collecting for. I haven't been as active on the forums for a couple years because I have felt that the old attitude of collectors is gone. Its more "How to maximize my collection value, and I will screw over anyone that gets in my way." I hope that mentality fades and we return to the great times on the forum. Also hope that some of the "fly by night" collectors sell off, and the ones with the long time passion for games and collecting them say/ come back.

Good luck, and I look forward to see the next stage of Nintendoage evolution.

Naming of collections is something that comes from comics and coins.   I'm not sure it has any significant application to games or if it will catch on.   Perhaps.

I think it will catch on. Though, I think it needs a better naming convention than "The XYZ Location Collection"

Your art collection, along with Adam's and some others will eventually have to pass on, no? When it's time to donate it (or put it in your own museum, or resell to other collectors) then will it be called "The Hungarian-Canadian Collection"? or something more personal, memorable, and more honorable in your name like "The Dan M------ Art Collection"

Those days are long gone, at least on NA. This is really a forum for discussion of speculative investing using video games as the investment vehicle. Money and the pursuit of as much money as possible trading in video games is all that really matters here. NA has reached peak Gordon Gekko.

That is nonsense. But thanks for playing. While its true people talk about the money side of it quite a bit, there is still plenty of info about actual collecting, variants etc.
