My PC game era has come to an end and thus I'm starting to look at selling some of what I deem as "sellable" and collectable. For instance I'm not selling my Steam Account linked games. I started earnestly buying games in the 90's. That was still when games were sold in boxes (not DVD cases). One still then had the privilege of actually "feeling your weight in gold" of what you bought as then it was possible to put a lot of extra merchandise in the game box (manuals, maps, charts, posters, etc.). I consider my collection as quite a fair one with valuable titles. Yes, it depends on what type of gamer your are, but there are a few landmark titles in there (and a few glaring "holes" of titles I somehow missed). So for the younger generation of gamers that are only used to electronic purchases and DLCs, here is a chance to actually hold some of those classics in your hand and to appreciate it as in the "good old days". Photos attached of all the titles and the box contents.

The titles I've grouped in the following sets (links are to the photos --> Sorry, but couldn't get them inserted):

A) Command and Conquer Series (Westwood games) (R1500) - Command and conquer series.jpg
--1) Command and Conquer (1995) - CandC and expansion.jpg
--2) Command and Conquer Covert Operations
--3) Red Alert (1996) - RA and expansions.jpg
--4) Red Alert Counterstrike
--5) Red Alert The Aftermath
--6) Command and Conquer Tiberium Sun (1999) - CandC2 and expansion.jpg
--7) Command and Conquer Tiberium Sun Firestorm
--8) Red Alert 2 (2000) - RA2 and expansion.jpg
--9) Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge (DVD case game --> that's about the time games started switching to DVD cases, but I'm adding this as part of the collection)
--10) Command and Conquer Generals (2003) - Generals and expansion.jpg
--11) Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour
--12) Red Alert 3 (Premier Edition) (2008) - RA3.jpg
--13) Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (2007) - CandC3 and expansion.jpg
--14) Command and Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath
--15) Command and Conquer 4 (2010) - CandC4.jpg

Condition: Good to mostly Excellent. None is Mint as all are opened and used. All game keys has been used (but many are not applicable anymore in any case as many of these games are now free to play. It's all about having/owning/appreciating the original game boxes/packaging/presentation/manuals/merchandise.
Age: 1991 onwards
Price: See above. Contact me regarding the whole set or individual sets. But I'm not going to sell individually. If you buy set A (Command and Conquer series) or set B (Blizzard series) you have to take set D (First Person Shooters) or E (Randoms) as well. Reason being that if the collection is "diluted" by selling off the more sought after titles then the chances of these sets selling are slim. Set C (Origin Series) can go on its own since I deem it a masterful series in itself)
Location: Worcester, Western Cape
Shipping: Yes, but buyer has to foot the bill
Collection: Yes

FYI
--------
 
Would so love to start a collection like this but sadly don't have the space.
@0jo might still be looking for some

There seems to be some confusion regarding pricing. The prices stated are for the WHOLE set as a unit and not per item price.
Thus e.g. all of Set A (Command and Conquer) is for the stated amount.
