Hi all. I'm new here, just discovered Completionator yesterday after trying a bunch of different collection sites and not quite getting what I'm after - so far this looks to be pretty much spot on for me!

I've spent a bit of time importing/adding my collection and, as I'm considering selling off a few things, I started to think about what to do with games that I have added, that maybe I've played/rated etc., that I go on to sell.

So, I'm just wondering what others do in this scenario. Do you simply delete the game from your collection (which is my initial reaction), or do you mark them as "Previously owned / rented"?

Cheers!

If I've finished the game and have sold it, I mark it as "Previously Owned/Rented". If I've never touched it and have sold it, I delete it from my collection.

Welcome to the site!

Welcome, hope you enjoy the site! I personally remove them, just as I'm pretty black and white when it comes to my collection (I have it in some form or I don't), but I believe many use the Previously Owned specifically for this situation. To each their own!

Thanks for the replies.

It looks to me like playthroughs and completions are not tied to games you own - so assuming i'm correct I could delete games I no longer own and still see those that I have played/finished.

You're correct, the playthroughs and completions are independent from your collection. In fact, playthroughs and completions are only loosely tied together, meaning you don't have to use a playthrough if you don't want to (but I do ).

I did notice that, I've added in completions for games I've previously finished, but plan to use playthroughs from now on.

Really liking the site btw, I was getting a bit frustrated with other similar sites, all seemed to do some or most of what I was after , but none seemed to fit for both collecting and a play backlog. I was starting to plan out my own site as a project when I came across completionator, and it seems to have pretty much everything I would have implemented myself so far.

Glad you're enjoying the site so far! I was in the same boat as you were in that I could find lots of sites that were good at either tracking a collection or a backlog, but none that seemed to do both well. That was my main inspiration to build the site since I wanted a way to track both

Like someone else said, I mark it as "Previously Owned/Rented" if I've completed it, otherwise I just delete it.

Considering that most of my collection is digital, no, lol. I can't even sell.
That being said, if I were to sell any of my physical PS3 games (very unlikely to ever happen), I'd back up the ROMs on my PC first for emulation in the future.
