I know it doesn't sound like much, but I have a mint, black label Final Fantasy 7 that I wouldn't sell for $1000. Mostly for sentimental reasons. This is the game that I've played more than any other, and all my friends in college played this game all the time. (I played a different copy, and found this copy at a used game store more recently).

Probably my games from when I was a kid.

You wouldn't sell that copy for $1000 and buy another copy for whatever the going rate is?

 

My NES Test Station

My childhood Goldeneye 007 with all of my saves and cheats unlocked. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into it and it is priceless.

No. I wouldn't.

I can't even fathom the idea that I would have something that I wouldn't sell if I could just buy another on ebay and pocket some cash...

My childhood games but mostly my copy of super metroid. That'll always be in the collection

I honestly can't think of anything. I'm more sentimental to memories than the objects themselves, so even a "cherished" game is fair game when it's all boiled down.

My copy of DKC from when I was a kid with my co-op save that me and my mom would play. My parent are still alive and very healthy but I will always cherish it. She isn't a gamer at all but she did enjoy playing that with me when I would ask. We never beat it so we may have something to do later in life. Need to get a UFO8 to get that save though and copy it multiple places.

Probably my Incident LE. Unless someone offered me a ridiculous amount of money for it, then I would sell it and bankroll Khan to make another game I could help with

My original Mario party 1, way too much sentimental value for me to sell it.

Everything has a price. If you want to make me rich, you can have whatever stuff I spent years tracking down that you want. Nothing is irreplaceable and money can buy me way more happiness.

There are a bunch of things i wouldn't trade for all of king Midas' silver.

NES toploader and Genesis 3 i inherited from my grandmother who played the shit out of them and passed away.

My Chrono trigger stuff. Prints/posters/CIB/Figures/Guide. Specifically these.

Everything is for sale. Hell for 175,000 you can have it all. 7k + games all CIB 65 CIB systems 26 arcade games 7 kiosks and tons of mags, posters ect...

Monkey Rule...if I found another mint copy of my favorite game first, I would be willing to part with it. But only by suckering some other guy into paying more than the going rate, which I wouldn't do. So, we're back to "no". In that scenario, I would just say "go find another copy, you can't have mine ".

Uh...pretty much everything I have. But if I have to pick some items, I guess it would be my Mega Man CES '90 hat, Super Mario Bros. 3 Happy Meal display, and sealed GameCube Component cable.

Probably all my gold consoles:



It took me a long time to track these down.

Ditto. My NES games were lost in a flood, but you'd have to pry my childhood SNES games from my cold dead hands 

trophy cart.

child hood excitebike.

I only have 2 systems and 3 games still from when I was a kid. Those are not going anywhere. Anything else could be sold.

Offer me $150 000, I'd sell basically my whole collection, no questions asked. But I would want to keep a few, namely Huang Di, Princess Maker, the SNES bootleg catalogue, the Legend of Zelda boot I have, etc. Things that I have memories attached to, memories of obtaining. There are a small handful of items where I vividly remember getting the item, the story behind it, etc, and it was quite memorable for me. Those items are special, no way I want to get rid of them, even for money. The rest, it can go, for a decent offer.

Mike Tyson punchout. Was my very first game and still have it.

What if the other person offered you $1000 and knew that the going rate wasn't that high? (This is just theoretical thinking) At that point, you wouldn't be suckering them. I guess, in that case, you would sell your second copy. But what would distinguish these two identical mint copies from eachother where one is okay to be sold, but the other isn't? The order in which you found them? Where you found them? It doesn't really matter to me because you can do what you want but I am curious. Where does the sentimental value come from in that this one copy, which is not the original one you played when you were younger, is off limits but every other copy is not?
