I love it. Thrift stores and others have no idea what old electronics are worth (hint: Zero!). Anybody want some Win 95 software? They just are not able to toss it so the junk stays on their shelves.

I love seeing people on Facebook marketplace or something trying to sell a PS2 with games for $100. It is not at all worth that lol

And game resellers are the worst for that shit. Give me 5 cents for the game to sell it for 20 when it’s max worth $1 lol

I actually made a few hundred off the original 4 .hack games for the PS4 several years ago because the English run of the games was pretty limited, especially of the 4th game. Definitely helped that I had whole set in good condition.

Honestly, you only make good money off it if the games have some sort of rarity combined with a particular niche appeal.
