I would sell the PSOne in one of the pictures rather than the other stuff. Youre not going to get much money for this stuff that would be sugnificant enough anyway.

I sold my Amiga 1000, Super NES, Sega Genesis + Dual GAME DX and looking back I didnt have to and I regret doing both and that is well over 10 years ago when I did it.

Just for months :?: A sign that u played them this year. So why should it go then :?: The Analog guy is right. The Playstation should be fired the first. U get Playstations anywhere at anytime to affordable prices. But different is with older systems. U don't might get functional C64 anymore. Even used Amigas aren't always in a top condition what u see on ebay. So think about it twice & honestey...think about it....emulation is a good choice but it won't ever 100 % the same. This machine has seen u as a kid, as a teenage & now ur nice friend shouldn't have the chance to watch ur aging :?: U are a rude man. :? Poor machine...which kid will buy & destroy it very soon. :(

My ex-wife talked me into giving my c64 & /amiga stuff away years ago. At the time I didn't give it a second thought, but now I regret it. Even though they were not something I'd ever pull out of storage and use, they had a lot of good memories associated with them and I sometimes I wish I had them back ... :(

Well over the last couple of years I have sold a LOT. Old synthesizers (SH101, SH09 - in fact, all of my hardware synths and racks as I now use soft synths), loads of LCD video game 'classics', all my Sinclair stuff (ZX80, ZX81, Spectrum, +2, calculators, etc) Atari woody's, ST's, Amstrads, Acorn electrons, shit shit and more SHIT :wink:

Fact is, a lot of the old vintage electronic stuff is dying now, simply due to age. 2 of my 3 mint ZX Spectrums were just completely dead, after being put in the loft in fully working order. Now is the time to sell this stuff IMO & it was a huge weight off my shoulders (and my attic) when I sold.

Remember - "The things you own end up owning you." -- Tyler Durden, Fight Club

That said, I still have 5 breadbins, 3 C64C's and a selection of 10 spare SID chips :)

Also, if you regret selling your C64, just get onto Ebay. They were the best selling computer of all time and there are still quite a few left over...
