What item in your collection wouldn't you sell for any price?
I know it doesn't sound like much, but I have a mint, black label Final Fantasy 7 that I wouldn't sell for $1000. Mostly for sentimental reasons. This is the game that I've played more than any other, and all my friends in college played this game all the time. (I played a different copy, and found this copy at a used game store more recently).

You wouldn't sell that copy for $1000 and buy another copy for whatever the going rate is?

No. I wouldn't.
NES toploader and Genesis 3 i inherited from my grandmother who played the shit out of them and passed away.
My Chrono trigger stuff. Prints/posters/CIB/Figures/Guide. Specifically these.
I can't even fathom the idea that I would have something that I wouldn't sell if I could just buy another on ebay and pocket some cash...
Monkey Rule...if I found another mint copy of my favorite game first, I would be willing to part with it. But only by suckering some other guy into paying more than the going rate, which I wouldn't do. So, we're back to "no". In that scenario, I would just say "go find another copy, you can't have mine ".
It took me a long time to track these down.
Probably my games from when I was a kid.
Ditto. My NES games were lost in a flood, but you'd have to pry my childhood SNES games from my cold dead hands

What if the other person offered you $1000 and knew that the going rate wasn't that high? (This is just theoretical thinking) At that point, you wouldn't be suckering them. I guess, in that case, you would sell your second copy. But what would distinguish these two identical mint copies from eachother where one is okay to be sold, but the other isn't? The order in which you found them? Where you found them? It doesn't really matter to me because you can do what you want but I am curious. Where does the sentimental value come from in that this one copy, which is not the original one you played when you were younger, is off limits but every other copy is not?

I played my friends copy in '96. And another friends copy around '98. When I got a PS2 around '01-02, I found this copy. I've had it for 15 years.
I sold 95% of my PS1 games since then. But I couldn't part with this one.
I also have CDs that I can't part with. I used to own 500 (music) cds, and I've sold like 400+ of them. Some of them, I just can't sell, even though I have copies of every song I like on my computer/ipod.
