My husband is a longtime video game collector, and we recently decided to put a little money aside and experiment with turning his hobby into a tiny side business.

The idea is pretty simple: buy older games/consoles directly from people, clean and restore what needs some love, add a few things to his own collection, and resell the rest.

So I thought I’d ask here: does anyone have old gaming stuff sitting around that they’ve been meaning to get rid of?

We’re interested in Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, handhelds, games, consoles, controllers and accessories. Working or non-working can both be interesting.

We’re especially interested in bundles/collections where someone just doesn’t want the hassle of researching and selling every individual game.

We’re in the Indy area but Muncie is within driving distance for us. Feel free to message me with photos of what you have and what you’re hoping to get for it.

Thanks!

Hi! My husband and I are starting a very small retro gaming side project. He’s been a collector for years, and we’re experimenting with buying collections, cleaning/restoring things, keeping some pieces for his collection, and reselling others.

I figured I’d post here because we’re much more interested in buying directly from people than just hunting game stores.

If you have a box of old Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, handheld games/consoles, controllers, accessories, etc. that you’ve been meaning to do something with, we may be interested. Working or non-working systems are both welcome.

Especially interested in people who would rather sell a bunch of things together than photograph, price, list, ship, and deal with selling everything individually.

We’re north of Indy but willing to drive to Lafayette for the right collection.

Feel free to DM me some pictures/details and what you’d like for it. We’re starting small, so we probably can’t buy a massive high-dollar collection yet, but smaller collections and random boxes of gaming stuff are exactly what we’re looking for.

My husband and I are in the Indy area and recently started a small hobby project buying, collecting, restoring, and reselling older video games and consoles. (My husband grew up in the Kokomo/Peru area)

He’s a collector first (and is already trying to claim things for his own collection 😂), but we thought it would be fun to see if we could turn something he loves into a small side business.

We’re looking for people who might have old games/consoles sitting in a closet, basement, etc. and would rather sell them together than go through the hassle of listing everything individually.

Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, handhelds, controllers/accessories, older games, etc. Working or not working is potentially interesting since restoration is part of what we want to learn.

We’re happy to make the drive up to Kokomo for the right collection/bundle. If you have something, send me a message or comment with a photo and what you have!

And if anyone has recommendations for retro gaming spots around Kokomo, we’d love those too.

Hi everyone! My husband and I are starting a small side project buying, restoring, collecting, and reselling retro games and consoles.

He’s been a game collector for years, and we decided to put about $500 aside and see if we can turn something he already loves into a small hobby business. We’re collectors first, so some things will inevitably end up staying in his personal collection 😅

We’re interested in hearing from anyone who has games, consoles, accessories, or a collection they’re looking to sell, especially if you’d rather sell several things together than list everything individually.

Interested in Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, handhelds, older consoles, games, controllers/accessories, etc. Working or non-working systems can both be interesting since we’d like to learn more restoration/repair as we go.

We’re located in Hamilton County, Indiana and can meet locally around the north Indy area, but we’re also open to shipped purchases through the sub’s normal rules.

Our starting budget is around $500, so we’re not looking for enormous high-end collections yet, but smaller collections, lots, consoles, and bundles are perfect.

If you have something you’re thinking about selling, feel free to comment with what you have and what you’re asking for it. Photos are always helpful!

Thanks!

We're over in Westfield, and my husband has been collecting retro video games for years. We've recently decided to experiment with turning his hobby (and absurd amount of knowledge about old games 😂) into a small side project.

We're looking to buy games, consoles, handhelds, controllers, accessories, or entire collections from people around Fishers and Hamilton County.

Nintendo, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Game Boy, DS/3DS, Sega, PlayStation, Xbox, and newer systems too. Untested stuff is totally fine.

So if you've got a Nintendo 64 hiding in a closet, a tub of games from when the kids were younger, or a console you've been telling yourself you'll sell "eventually" for the past decade, we'd be happy to take a look.

Just send me a message with a few pictures of what you have. We're happy to come to Fishers for a purchase.

We're not looking for anyone to give away valuable games for pennies. We're hoping to find some local collections, make fair offers, and see whether we can turn something he already loves into a little side business. 🙂

Hi neighbors! We're just up the road in Westfield. My husband has been collecting retro video games for years, and we've decided to try turning his hobby (and slightly ridiculous knowledge of old game prices 😂) into a small side project.

We're looking to buy old games, consoles, controllers, handhelds, or entire collections from people around Carmel and Hamilton County.

Nintendo, SNES, N64, GameCube, Game Boy, DS, Sega, PlayStation, Xbox, etc. We're interested in newer stuff too, and things don't necessarily need to be tested or cleaned up first.

If you have an old console or a box of games that's been living in a closet, basement, or your kids' old bedroom for the last 15 years, feel free to send me a message with a few pictures. We can come to Carmel, so you don't need to bring anything to us.

We're not looking for anyone to give away valuable games for pennies. We're hoping to find some local collections, make fair offers, and see where this little experiment goes. 🙂

Is there a way to purchase some of the Japan Gap items and ship to US? Is there someone who is honest enough to buy it for me and mail it to me? Haha thanks

Please recommend me places (except Esler's) I have a 2014 Mazda
