I had all but given up on the local thrift store because they never seem to have anything good on the shelves. One of the guys saw me looking at DVDs and mentioned they had a box in the back with some PS3 and other stuff.
22 PS3 games, 3 PS2 games (one was Liberty City Stories!), and a buttload of blu rays and DVDs. Oh, and an Xbox 360 in the box to top it off.
Don't give up! The ten times you find nothing are all worth it when you hit something like this on the 11th.

Every single one is a legit copy Some of them I only got the game cartridge, so I bought them a box and I printed the box art

Some of the cases have multiple games in them. For the ps4 cases I don’t have the doom eternal case and for the Wii I don’t have the Wii sports case. There’s a couple original Xbox games I got from thrift stores that don’t have cases as well and have multiple games in each case.

I thought this collection was extremely impressive but some of y’all must own gamestops or something goddamn

Found these in the same week. For Obscure the cashier asked me three times if I was sure. First time I’ve ever seen it in the wild so figured it was now or never

Just got a sealed copy of Brink. Has anyone played it?

I was gifted the Super Mario Bros 25th Anniversary DSi XL for my 5th birthday and have been a fan of the DS systems and it’s games ever since. For the longest time I never had a 3DS (I know the 3D isn’t a game changer but I never had it growing up so I thought it was neat, plus the lineup up titles exclusive to the 3DS line of devices is great!) so in more recent history I sold that device to fund a 3DS. I hope you enjoy, the games have been a work in progress/games I accumulated through doing chores or as gifts aswell as hunting around for deals. It’s awesome when a buddy’s over cause local multiplayer is a great time. Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

Just need a copy of 13-2 and Lightning Returns and it’ll be complete outside of spinoffs.

I’m pretty proud of my collection 😁

Almost every console i own was free or dirt cheap. As you can probably see not perfect conditions but every single one plays. Anyone into steelbooks too? Also what is your absolute favorite steelbook ?

Was on my way to work today when I realized I had a bit of time to kill so I went to a thrift store I frequent along the way. I go inside and it looks like they got quite a few new things in since my last visit. I go to the back where the video games/dvd bin is kept and, right at the top of the pile, I see Fire Emblem Engage. That alone was enough for me to scoop it up but, when I did, I heard rattling inside of the case. Pulling the case open as much as I could (the store taped the case shut), I peeked inside of the opening and saw a total of four Switch cartridges! Score! After checking the rest of the bin (just a couple of PS2 and PS3 Madden games), I paid for the games, left the store, cut the tape off, opened the case and was greeted by four games I didn’t have in my Switch collection yet.

I’d love to say I plan on keeping all four games but WWE 2K18 on Switch is nigh unplayable so I’ll be getting rid of that one. The game I’m most excited to play is Pokémon Legends: Arceus though that’ll have to wait until after the Halloween season is over. I know this message has been beaten over this subreddit for years now but I’ll gladly say it over and over again: the deals are still out there. Happy hunting.

not a lot of new stuff recently but I’ve reorganized the entire bookshelf near my closet and I’m really proud of it. my Xenoblade area has never looked better! been in the process of collecting more books/movies recently also but in terms of gaming I might try and hook up my PS3 again at some point too since I’ve been itching to for years. also looking at all my switch games now it kinda blows me away how large that collection is (and I still barely have that many games for Switch 2 yet)

I collect games that are important to me. Games I grow up playing even for consoles I didn’t own but maybe played with my friends. My real reason for collecting is to share these games with my son. I want him to be able to pick a game off the shelf and we play it together.

Works just fine too. Not as good as the OG but I still really liked it. Got more games to show soon

Well, I went to spend money and I did! Insane haul and knocked quite a few grails off of my list. Everything is mint or near mint complete with reg and all inserts. The Gundam Force is sealed, but I’m going to open it because what good is a game if it isn’t played? This was my second year at the Con and I had so much fun. I live in Michigan and am going to try to make it a yearly event since my two best friends live out there!

Splurged a bit to much this month but will hold back next month to prepare for Black Friday.

I started collecting maybe 3 or 4 years ago. And I have grown a pretty big collection. Most of it is the Xbox 360, PS2 and PC.

My wishlist:

Silent Hill 1

Silent Hill 3

Silent Hill 4 The Room

Silent Hill Townfall

Puyo Puyo Tetris

Doom 3 (PC)

GTA San Andreas and 3

Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil Requiem

LA Noire

Those are the games in my wishlist. But I know I'll buy FIFA 14 for the PS2 or Madden 08. That is what it looks like now. Maybe will change soon but who knows

Hoping to get some suggestions on what to do.

I am based in the UK (in Sheffield) and have a load of wii/wii u/xbox one games which i tried to sell to CEX (UK equivalent to gamestop I guess), but were rejected due to scratches. Total value £124.

CEX used to charge me £3 per disc for resurfacing, but no longer do this. New policy apparently.

I am looking into getting my own resurfacing machine, since similar things happen relatively frequently to me as i frequently buy large bundles of DVD/Bluray/videogames to add to my collections and resell what i don't need.

If i was in America, i know from some research that I would get a second hand RFJ Easy Pro on ebay for maybe $100, swap out the pads for car polishing pads and use car polish. The RFJ however is not really available in the UK secondhand market and is £240 on Amazon.

Any fellow UK game collectors find a budget friendly solution? I have called around Yorkshire trying to find a gameshop to resurface discs for a couple quid a pop and have not had any luck yet

I’m not a completionist by any means, if I can get a copy of a disc loose at a decent price I’ll snag it. But I’ve always wanted to store them in an “official” style way so I’ve been on the look out for vintage console branded disc booklets and finally completed the big 3 6th gen consoles (not including the Dreamcast)

Just wanted to share the vibes, see if anyone has any other vintage disc booklets to share they have that came out and I’ve never seen or if anyone has a Dreamcast one I should find.

Does anyone collect loose discs in this way?
