Title says it all! Thinking about selling games that are just sitting there I know I will never play again/platinumed . What do you all do ERA?
Do you sell games after you beat them or collect them?

if I squeezed all the content out of it and/or I don't see myself ever playing it again, I would just sell it
I'm not exactly contemplated by either poll option. I'll sell/trade games I don't care much about or if I get a good deal for them. But I keep the majority of them.
About 50/50. I usually trade it in if I can get the amount I pay or more back. Otherwise I'll usually keep it, especially if it's a game I like and want to lend out to friends. If I can get $50+ CAD in trade in due to promos I usually consider it too. I traded in a bunch of things towards my PS5 because the pricing was really good.
Never know when you may want to replay a game so happy I still have all my Gamecube games they just so much to get from own a game not acting like it trash if you "beat it"
It's too much of a hassle for me to sell games honestly. You basically don't get anything for taking it to a store and you selling things online is a whole ordeal. I have tons of games I'll never play or never try to play again but I guess I could say I collect them.
I don't "collect" games but I do like to keep some in case I want to replay them in the future (which I do quite often). But I've sold multiple games over the years, no regrets.
I keep most of them and have a pretty good collection, but definitely sell some when I find a game I don't want to keep, or if it's something I don't value a lot and the price has shot up. Had that happen a few times on the Switch with games that went out of print. Buying physical gives that flexibility.
If it's something I liked I'll hang onto it. Games I hate, or games I KNOW I'll never revisit (like Ubisoft games) I sell.

I did this one time, I sold a ton of PS1 games, and most of them were rare JRPG's like Suikoden 2, I regretted it almost instantly, and bought every single one back and I'm sure I spent 2x as much buying them back. Never again, I haven't sold a single game in almost 20 years when I made that mistake.
Used to collect, realized that it's a waste of money so I resell now. Only keep stuff long term that I'll play a lot like COD and even those titles I try to buy digitally. Game pass has been great since I can just play digital titles and no need to buy and sell and no clutter.
Generally I'll keep it only if it's something that had a very, very strong impression on me (only have 3 games I feel like that about atm), or if it would basically be pointless to try and sell/trade it in.
Sometimes I do regret it (Gravity Rush Remastered, ended up rebuying FF7R like a chump due to Intergrade/Yuffie DLC, etc.), but for the most part I'm not a sentimental person when it comes to games. If it helps make my next gaming purchase cheaper, I often prefer to just trade it in ASAP.
Right now I'm currently making an exception of sorts so far for 1st party Sony titles though. Like I'll probably eventually sell them or something, but for now I don't wanna rush into it like I normally would.

Indeed! Did the same for Game Boy stuff.
I did not buy back my limited edition GBMicro, that costs too much now :-(
Whenever I wanted to buy a new game I used to trade in a bunch of old ones and always ended up regretting it so I do keep most of my games now. There are a few things I could sell but it's such a hassle that I haven't bothered yet.
Completely depends on the title. Most, I will resell, if I know I'll never play them again. Some, I will never sell simply because of how they resonated. Witcher: Wild Hunt, and God of War 2018, for example, I still have my original copies of.
Collect.
I love having shelves with my collection on display.
Same with my books.
If I sold everything as soon as I finished with it, being generous with how much I got back for it, I'd probably only get back a couple grand for my entire lifetime worth of content.
It's just not worth it to me.
The memories attached to each item, and the feeling that I might play them again is more than worth it.

Sell and game on. I usually beat them quick enough that I barely lose value. Back in the day with Gamers Club Unlocked I'd often make money lol.
Needs another poll option for 'sell on the ones I didn't particularly enjoy or won't play again, keep the rest'.
I reckon I sell on around 1 in every 5 games I buy. Either because it just didn't grip me, or because I know I'll never touch it again. I usually get most of what I paid back with Switch carts so it makes sense to just sell them on and choose something else. Meanwhile, I keep hold of favourites.

I almost always keep them because selling it back to me makes it seem like a rental, and then it feels like I paid $30 for a week rental which is absurd. But I might sell more now cause everything ends up free on some service eventually.
I'm accumulating games in boxes on shelves in a cupboard. I mean, technically it's a collection...
See something like GoW I would've normally kept, but me knowing it was getting a direct sequel made me end up selling it since it wasn't getting any dlc
I used to hold onto EVERYTHING. Trying my best not be a hoarder anymore and trade or sell after finishing. I don't have time to replay and its just clutter just sitting there devaluing.
Recently finished and sold RE Village and Ratchet Rift Apart. Feels good.

Sometimes I sell—like with GT Sport and it's gargantuan updates that were eating my HDD—but mostly I keep them.
