Bustling Shelves: Why We're Buying Large Video Game Collections Now

NOSTOS buys large video game collections and estates in Gwinnett County. We offer professional, bulk appraisals and same-day cash in Duluth, GA.

Digital sketch of a large wooden crate overflowing with retro game cartridges When we envisioned NOSTOS, we didn’t just want a “museum” with three games behind glass-we wanted a bustling, lived-in shop where the shelves are packed from floor to ceiling. To get there for our August Grand Opening, we are looking for more than just single items. We want the big stuff.

If you are a long-time collector looking to move a massive library, or if you’ve inherited an estate of vintage games, we are ready to talk.


We Buy the Whole Library

Many shops only cherry-pick the “expensive” games and leave you with the “filler.” At NOSTOS, we understand that a great game store needs everything-from the legendary $500 grails to the $10 hidden gems that everyone remembers playing on a rainy Saturday.

Why Sell a Large Collection to Us?

  • Efficient Appraisals: We don’t need weeks to look at a box. We have a streamlined technical process to verify and value large volumes of carts and discs quickly.
  • Logistical Support: For truly massive collections (200+ items), we can come to you anywhere in Gwinnett or North Georgia. You don’t have to lug 20 heavy bins to a parking lot.
  • Fair Bulk Pricing: We offer competitive, grounded pricing that respects the market value of your entire inventory, not just the top 5%.

Helping Us Build a “Traditional” Game Store

We want the “Nostos” experience to feel like the classic game stores of the 90s-somewhere you can spend an hour digging through bins and always find something new. To make that happen, we need depth.

We are specifically looking for large lots of:

  • Loose Cartridges: NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis.
  • Disc-Based Games: Thousands of PS1, PS2, and Xbox titles to fill our library.
  • Console Bundles: We buy hardware in any quantity, including “junk” lots for parts and restoration.

Ready to Move a Collection?

Don’t spend the next six months of your life taking photos for eBay and dealing with “is this available” messages on Facebook. One email to NOSTOS can handle the entire process.
