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

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...
