Minimalism

I have a hoard of video games for older systems and two tubs of stuffies from my childhood. Does anyone have advice on letting this stuff go? They are both just hidden away and unused but the sentimental issues are what I want to defeat.

    Mine was forced to thrown away until it left with a small box of sentimental stuff 😂🥲🥴

    I was nostalgic about my video games until I played them and realized the graphics were terrible and I much prefer my newer systems. 
    For the stuffies, I passed them on to my own children.

    Pass them to somebody who wants to use it - so you have it away but you know somebody is happy to use it further

    I would research how much can be made off of old video games. Cash in hand might make letting old games go easier. Also, I am pretty sure EVERY old game off of EVERY system can be emulated. While not perfect, you can still retain some of the nostalgia.
    As for the stuffies, which I assume are stuffed animals, I would either give them to young ones in your family or donate to children in need who will love and cherish your old stuffies as much as you do. Oh, what about a children's hospital? You'd have to find out the regulations on something used in order to keep it safe, especially after covid, but it's an idea.

    In addition to what others suggested: There is a market out there for nostalgic items. You should be able to sell them and capitalize on them. I once sold the original Tetris game from the 80s and Lode Runner on eBay. One of my friends took my old, non-working cell phones like PanTech, Motorola flip phone, and a Nokia from the 80s; she told me that collectors would pay handsome money for the phones I was trying to get rid of.  I don't know where to sell old items, and where the collectors gather. But, sometimes on eBay, I run into old items from the past. I guess eBay won't be going away anytime soon.
