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 just feel bad because it sits in a box with a bunch of accessories, and I can already play all of the games on my 7800. Plus, I much prefer the 7800 anyway..the 2600 is just a little too unrefined and boring in a lot of the games for me. There are some gems but not as many as the 7800 imo

If I could make sure it goes to a kid who wants to get into old school gaming then that'd be better than it being in a box I think.

    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.
