    Someone suggested that she thought it was Geos who were training drone strikes. All those infrastructure tagging hits could only have one actual purpose, right?

    Hell yeah, brother.
    It's the fucking worst feeling. Hell even remembering it sometimes can give a good pang of sadness right in the chest.
    Like the fucker didn't know there was real ivory in the same box either. Who the hell just throws peoples shit out?

    Tons of people do it, I have a BIL that thinks that if you haven't used something in 3 months it's automatically trash because you obviously don't need it enough to use it often. I want my house clean and not cluttered but that takes it to an entire different level.

    I have all my old nes games (some inbox new), snes games, sega....n64 the list goes on here. I would lose it if someone tossed them. I'm sure it's not valuable but...mah childhood. I also have plans to (eventually) have an actual office for myself where I can set them all up on shelves.

    Also, I have my dad's entire atari 2600 collection including rare games, the adult ones, and some limited-run prototypes.

    They might actually be valuable /shrug.

    Retro collecting is huge......if you have anything remotely rare or in a box it's worth something.

    My parents did the opposite. They kept all my stuff thinking that some of it may be worth something, but nope, my ninja turtles and ghostbusters are pretty worthless. And my tens of thousands of mass produced baseball cards from the 90s are nothing more than great kindling for fires.


    My sister got some money for her littlest pet shop though..

    I'll use a game example, if you have a N64 Conkers Bad Fur day, in a box it's worth 100 bucks, cartridge only is still 50-60.

    I think it's kind of silly hoarding a bunch of crap in the hopes that maybe you'll make $300 off it in like 30 years. Such a waste of space that could be used for something useful, like building cardboard castles for your dog.

    well to be fair they weren't really hoarding it for profit. Moreso, for sentimental purposes or probably moreso - the hopes that someday they'll have a grandchild that'll enjoy my legos and stuff as much as I did

    Eh

    I have a few things I've collected but the Atari stuff is the biggest. I started it with my dad and I've kept it going when I can so I dunno if I would ever sell it. I have 3 new in box Waterworld games for the 2600 which used to be worth like 2-300ea but I dunno what the value is now. He always told me to sell them and use it for a down payment to buy a house but I dunno.

    He didn't have nor did he leave many possessions behind and it's one of the few things we did together so...myeh.

    From my personal collection, I have a few SNES games new in box put up. Ogre Battle, a fully unopened Earthbound box..and a few more but I don't fully remember.

    Last thing I bought a few months ago was Final Fantasy for the NES in box.

    This is actually cute, I can understand wanting to hand it down to someone who hopefully appreciates it as much as you.
