    Hello TiredOfLife,

    Actually, I haven't moved, this stuff just stood on an attic for several years before I finally picked it up.
    I had hoped to make some room in the meantime but no one is really interested in second hand PC games, even if they look fine.

    I'm gonna move this weekend and next weekend, but I'm taking everything with me, I binned some stuff the last time (almost 12 years ago), but I only did that once, never gonna do it again. Plus the house where I move now has double the size and space of my actual apartment

    We actually did hire a skip once, to clear out the loft. At first it was really painful, but then I stepped back and thought to myself 'this stuff hasn't been used in YEARS, let alone even looked at' and threw it all away, with extreme prejudice. I felt a lot better after getting rid of it all, like a weight had been lifted. And it was a lot easier than moving it all to a newer, much smaller, place. There were a few things I couldn't bear to part with, but all my old Transformers, MASK, Thundercats, StarCon, He-man, Manta Force and those toys got chucked.

    It was quite cool actually smashing some of those things to relieve some tension, as it was a very stressful time. One neat thing we did was hide lots of the figures in trees along the streets nearby. Would have been quite amusing to a passer by.

    You do know that those are all very collectible and sort after these days? He-man figures fetch around £40 each, and I think some of the others like Thundercats might be worth even more. Probably threw the cost of the skip into it that day!

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    Hello, sorry that I was away.

    J T, what a shame, I would have taken them from you.
    Not for the sake of money but because I like that stuff.
