Default Anyone sell their collection?

So I'm thinking about selling my old games next year when I have some time. I've never sold a game in my life, but my father sold our broken NES when I was young (who buys a broken system?) and since then I've kept every game I've ever owned.

A few years ago I moved into an apartment, and around that time realized keeping all this stuff is stupid. I spent hundreds on shelves and storage containers just to get it out of boxes. I also came to realize that if I ever wanted to play these games again, it's easier to find an emulator than dig this crap out and hook it all up.

In truth, I've re-purchased several of my old games on XBLA and virtual console. So why the hell am I still storing all this crap? I can't wait for digital distribution so I can keep the system and not need to store all the cases too.

Anyways, 99.99999% of all old games are completely worthless. There are a few games which still have some value (like $10 value). I don't want to take these to GameStop because they also need to make a profit on the sale, which cuts my money in half (if not more).

So any tips on where to get rid of this stuff? eBay? Amazon marketplace? Anywhere more oriented towards game collectors, so someone else can take this crap?
