Title: Should I keep or should I sell
Post by: Sauza12 on September 13, 2004, 10:12:50 PM
Last week I came across a couple of boxes in the basement that had a bunch of games for the Apple IIe.  Most of them are complete.  I also found a complete Apple IIe computer (with a disk drive and printer and all that).  I was kind of wondering if you guys think I should keep them or try to sell them off.  I don't have too much intrest in Apple games, yet I feel like getting rid of them would be a bad idea.  Any comments are appreciated.

I'd sell them and buy games you ARE interested in. Unless you've got an unlimited budget, it's silly to keep games like that.  

Besides, if they aren't valuable now, they probably never will be. So waiting to sell won't make you richer and richer.

If you have a soft spot for it or are attached to it in any way don't sell. You'll just regret it and kick yourself in the ass later.

I personally would not sell them, no matter if I would ever play them or not.  Silly?  Yes.  That's why I'm a video game collector, though.  I just get really, really attached to my games.  For me, there's something about finding games out in "the wild" that most people didn't.  Sure, you can sell them on eBay, but I doubt you'll get much for them.  I'd end up seeing that money go away in a few days anyway, so what's the point?  I'm so broke that the money wouldn't go back to games, so I'd just feel like I flushed them down the toilet.  That's just me though.  Mark's point is a good one if you're not a freak like me.
