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. |

Occasionally in the past I have been known to buy lots to get games that I lack. In that case, I do sell or trade the duplicates. Also, I have upgraded games and gotten dups that way as well. My first DS games were cart only which caused quite a few duplicates when I decided to only collect complete copies later on. When it comes to only copies, I never sell or trade. |
