We’re gamers here. Doesn’t everyone have one mouse, two keyboards, a spare PSU and maybe 3-4 desktops going back to the 90s in their closet? And that’s just one closet.
Mice? Pfft! I only use an old Commodore 64 trackball.
Yep, sounds about right to me. And many of them half-cannibalized for parts for other things. And don’t even get me started on cables.
I moved recently. Cleaned out the closet, just in time to need a pile of backup input devices. Oh well.

Fist bump I’ve got a 14 year old Logitech MX-518 that still works fine. I liked it so much I bought another one before they were discontinued.
Guilty!
I have about 5 mice in the “old stuff I don’t want to throw away” box including one that is sitting there unopened… a Logitech Gaming Mouse 500 that I bought years ago. My issue is finding a mouse with enough buttons. I’ve done that for my desktop but it’s a wired mouse and I really wanted a wireless mouse for my laptop setup. So that’s why I just got the G604 to replace a Corsair mouse that needed charging way too often.
I do tend to strip the desktops of components and recycle them but I do have a bunch of old useless RAM sticks and naked internal drives in a box. And a spare unused PSU I got when my prior machine was misbehaving and I thought it was the PSU (it wasn’t).
So yeah, I do!

Those are actual back now so you can pick up a 3rd now
This is embarrassingly accurate. Add to that a couple of joysticks (probably with 9-pin serial connectors so I can’t even use them anymore), at least one monitor, two or three old video cards and a giant stack of 1990’s era CGW and CGS+ magazines, with demo discs, all in my basement. Plus two old bookcases full of boxed software spanning the late 1980’s to mid-2000’s. It’s like a sad little museum down there.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one…
Mine finally went into recycling this year.
I flipped through them first and really enjoyed the ads.
They don’t make those like they used to.
A lot of that boxed software is surprisingly worth something now! Check ebay if you’ve got anything interesting.
Ah, but are they made now the way they were then, is the question. If they’re going with cheaper components, maybe not so much.
The form/size did fit my hand like a glove, though…

That’s pretty funny. I remember when those were THE mouse to have.
I got rid of a bunch of those in last years move. I posted a few of the ads in the 90s were so terrible topic as I went too.
I still have like 3 unused monitors, a pile of not really working routers I need to reset and e-cycle which I haven’t because apparently e-cycling is just a scam. I just have so much stuff, but I’d have a lot more if I didn’t just give some of this stuff away like I do.
And my backup things, we’re talking about a Corsair Strafe, Razer Blackwidow Ultimate keyboard, a 600 W EVGA PSU… not really top of the line but not just throw away things. They really were backups… once. Now they’re just things i keep in my closet
And that’s not even the components, so many screws, harddrive brackets… splitters. Last time I put my rig together I was digging around looking for power splitter trying to remember if I was digging in the this decade boxes or last because I should probably get rid of some of the older stuff now. These stupid companies don’t label and date things for me in the way I want them labeled!
Hmmm…I may need to look into that. There was a time, long ago, when the boxes on those shelves were worth an estimated $4K-$5K in Ebay sales. Stuff like my original hologram big box copy of Daggerfall was selling for $100+. Then GOG and other digital distribution sites came along selling all the old classics packaged for modern systems at $5 each, and suddenly my shelves weren’t even worth the cost of shipping the boxes.
If they’re worth even half of what they once were again, I’d consider selling all but a handful of them.
And now for some bargains!

or mix and match 5 of the above for $3.00 each.
Star Deal today is The Walking Dead : Telltale Definitive Series for $22.49 (55%). That’s a good deal if you’ve somehow managed to not own any of the Telltale Walking Dead games thus far.

Humble Store is having a Winter Indie Sale with some decent discounts if you’re a current Choice subscriber.
- Rimworld for $26.77 (23%)
- 7 Days to Die for $7.22 (71%)
- Battle Brothers for $12.74 (58%) plus 24% off on both DLC
- PC Building Simulator for $8.49 (58%) and 24% off each of the DLC
- Iron Danger - $11.89 (66%)
- and many more
That bundle seems familiar. I think they gave the BTA a while ago, didn’t they?
I kinda regret tossing all my boxes when GOG started. Most of mine are still worthless, but they were nice to look at. Go with “Buy It Now” if you decide to list any. There isn’t enough demand for bidding wars.
Re: That Fanatical bundle, I would always recommend Saint’s Row 4. But not this time. Hold off for the “Game of the Century” version that contains all the DLC. It’s often around 5 bucks.
Huh, why do I (a Choice subscriber) see different prices?

Dunno? I see a 10% Store discount and 15% Choice discount, for a total of 23% off full price, or $26.77.
Are you in the U.S.?
Yes, in the US. Woah, my Choice discount is only 10%! And I have the Classic plan, which this page says should be more than the Basic.
