It's Time To Downsize My Video Game Collection

Been refining my collection and it feels incredible. Owning stuff just to own it is insanely unhealthy. It turns you into a zombie like consumer just looking for the next thing for a small dopamine burst

GET RID OF EVERYTHING YOU WONT PLAY!!!

Undergoing a purge & fine tuning the collection is always a liberating feeling! Best of luck with your sale, hopefully some local Vita collectors will be able to snag some great additions to their collection 😊

Can't wait to see this journey through. Thanks for taking us with you!

I feel this. I sold a handful of games that I had no attachment with to a local shop a week ago, just to feel it out. Even though it wasn't much, it was the first culling of my collection in quite a long time. Now i have a few expensive items that I'm wondering if i bring to the shop also, or if I just sell them online myself.

I sorta half expected Phoenix Resale to be buying the collection but I'm glad with what your doing

sometimes Im in the mood for " AN OK CART RACER" bahahahah

I just wanna come over to your home and play all those games 😊

Your energy and editing is so unique mort, love every video of yours i get to experience. I'm sure youll go far in life in whatever you do, but for now im excited to see you hit 100k Subs in the nearer future than anyone could ever expect. Much love.

It’s tough to do, going through and paring down the collection. It’s important though to keep a loose grip on material things, making sure we own them and not the other way around; for me, selling or giving away things I know I’m not going back to or have no real connection to is helpful and refreshing. Great video and good luck selling part of your collection!

Love this video. Curating a collection and keeping it to stuff you really enjoy is important. It is the difference between enjoying your collection and letting it become a burden.

I like how this video went back and forth all while completing staying on topic. Good work selling some of the collection. I recently sold couple Gameboys I didn't "need", it hurt a little. But they went to good homes from 2 different people at a car show and swap meet.

Punky is such a great shop owner. I met him this year on Mar10 day and have been going to his shop religiously since. This was a really nice display to browse. Sadly, I didn't own a Vita at the time (and still don't).

Wish I could've bought that Summon Night 6 from you and have it signed by you honestly. Been loving your channel a ton.

Love me some Windjammers!!!! Then again I love Neo Geo in general! Did not know that P4G limited edition was worth that much! I guess due to it being sealed? Anyway that's great that you went through with it Mort! During the height of the pandemic, i was unemployed for 2 years. Now before you feel bad for me, I quit the job I was working at (at the time) due to not feeling safe working there while it was going on. I did the same exact thing you did during those 2 years, i went through multiple game collections for various consoles pulling games out I either didn't play or questioned why I had. I was surprised with the amount of games I pulled out of my collection, and was willing to sell. At that time, it worked out great for me! It also felt good to downsize my collection (if that makes any sense). I'm proud of ya man! Good luck with meeting your deadline!!!!

I’m excited to see this as it goes! Great video as always!

I did a huge purge of my PS1 and PS2 collection several years ago to a local store who gave me great value (even gave me full value on my Suikoden II, because they wanted it for their personal collection). It was always a cool thing to look at on the shelf, but I barely ever played them anymore, and being able to pay off an entire new gaming PC was a fairly nice trade-off.

Watching this makes it easier for me to continue to do the same. I’ve been downsizing these past few weeks and actually feeling great about it.

Good job recognizing what makes you happy in regard to collecting. I would feel claustrophobic looking at my endless boxes of sports and magic cards. Sure I could have saved them until I'm almost dead, and min/max my IRL score, but I got the most joy from sharing with friends and Randos. Offering them a chance to enjoy something they never thought was feasible. The second hand elation and positive vibes I experienced made me love the hobby more than ever, and in an entirely new way. Absolutely no regrets, and yeah $80,000 never hurts.

I definitely learned that too. A curated collection is definitely the thing to do, especially when games just pile up! lol
