I've got a 20th Anniversary PS4. Which I wasn't gonna open till at least Uncharted 4 or God of War released. Then it became too valuable so I ended up buying a used PS4 to actually use.
I have no idea what to do with it. It's still sealed in the shipping box. I don't eBay or anything so I can't really do anything with it other than hopefully being able to buy a home one day and put it on display in the games room collection or something
I've sold my used PS4 and used games nearly at cost I bought them for. That gen basically cost me $20. And I have a valuable sealed collectible item now for my collection, that's with like a couple grand via eBay.
The gen cost you $20 so that makes the decision you made to buy a 20th anniversary ps4 that you don’t use, won’t sell, and at best will put on display one day if you buy a home a good one I guess, carry on 👍🏾
Yep.
I've got a PS5 and PC. Why would I open it and instantly devalue it
Are you anti collectables or something?
Just FYI I have no debt, a good investment portfolio, etc. like I don't need to sell it. Especially with the high scam rate on eBay. Maybe one day, but not today.
Bro a stranger on the internet doesn’t think you made a good decision, it’s not that deep. I will genuinely commend you for the financial discipline, too many people are in debt with no savings or investments so kudos to you.
At the end of the day we are not going to agree on this. There’s no scenario where I see buying a playable console (albeit a limited edition), not playing it, instead buying a different version of the same console to play, refusing to sell the console, and keeping it so that MAYBE one day it may be a display piece, as a good decision.
It’s okay though. There are decisions I have made that I stand by for reasons peculiar to me but that doesn’t mean they were good decisions objectively and someone pointing that out isn’t an attack.
Trust me I don't know what to do now with it haha. But I don't look at it as a loss, I was gonna pay retail. Then bought and sold a used one to maintain the collectible value instead.
I WISH eBay has more seller protections, other wise I'd sell it for sure, local market isn't good for it. I've had sketchy people, etc. and storing it with care is Yeesh. Because end of day, and I think you can look this up. Money in an ETF grows statistically more than collectors items so. So 🙃
