My dad still has our C-64. Won't part with it because it "will still be worth a lot in the future" especially with the floppy disc drive! But my parents also tend to keep e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, so some day it will fall to me to find it a home.
I bought a Colecovision with birthday and Christmas money I'd saved up in the early 1980s. Still had it in 2020, sitting on a closet shelf unused for more than 35 years, but when I moved it was on the list of things to sell (including a bunch of D&D books I also still had
). I found a used game store that would take a look at it and had the right connector to link it to a modern flat screen, and amazingly, after a few fidgets, it still worked! Sold it and 4 or 5 games I had. Also found a taker for the D&D books. My wife didn't think I'd get anything for this stuff but appreciated the nice dinner it paid for.
