75” tv is in the basement. I’m okay with being sent down there.

Our "big" Christmas present in 1972 was PONG for my two brothers and myself.

I just tried to sell all of my old video games and consoles - atari, sega, etc etc, it's not worth what people think it is, and not worth the time trying to sell it.

Many people think "oh, that's worth a lot! someone will buy it! put it on craig's list! sell it on ebay!" yeah..... nope. A group of 20 games/cartridges is worth about $50 if, and I mean if, you find that 1 person who is willing to pay for it.

When you factor in the time it takes to sell, pack, ship, etc etc, it's a much better idea to just donate it somewhere and be done with it.

Yeh, I agree, old junk 'tronics' are worth nothing, basically.....

I have had a term for that stuff for many decades, since I gave up being a TV repair tech/shop manager.....the term is 'PITCH IT TRONICS"

When we moved to PA, the wife donated the Wii, but, she didn't pack motion sensor.
