So I have a 2600, tons of controllers and games etc. But I hardly ever use it since I have a 7800 that can use the same games and controllers. I feel like id regret selling, but I have so many systems.

Worth holding onto? They dont seem to sell for much. I have the space for it but I also would like to see someone else enjoy it..

I hear that.

So, from my own collection experiences:

  1. When I have given in to "why do I have this in a box", too early, I have regretted it terribly later. For me, "too early" is before I'm happy with my display setup. I've had several moments when I realized I wanted to put something on display that I already gave away.

But, 2:

I've never regretted gifting something to a young upcoming fan. Even when situation 1 above happens.

True! Ive really never been a person for visuals for the sake of visuals though. The thing has to do something or its just a dust collector for me.

And I do already have the (SO's) Lego 2600... :)
