Just got my first everdrive, figure ill never need these carts and at the outrageous prices they are going for, would you sell or hold onto them? I only have like 10 and only a couple are rarer ones.

I have a ton of game systems and stuff in general and im not into collecting things that dont serve a function. If they sit on the shelf there's no point to having them. But I can hold onto em for 10 more years if theyre all gonna shoot up to 50 bucks each, or has the craze died now?

The markets are unpredictable. I view my physical collection as the archive. Yes they are in boxes but they are the proof of ownership for my rom library.

If you don’t care and want to sail the high seas for your games, then sell them when you want. Otherwise I’d make nice displays for them and have them as art.
