What do you do with your duplicate consoles?

I just bought my second Super Famicom, mostly to have one that wasn't yellowed, and also to have my current one as a backup (and to run crazy Super Game Boy link experiments ;D ) and it made me wonder - what do you all do with the extra or duplicate consoles you have?

I have 2 GBCs, which I use to trade between my copies of Pokemon. I also have 2 Saturns and 2 PS1s - one Japanese and 1 modded US - for playing Japanese games and copies of US games (lol)

I sell them to someone who needs one!  ;D

Also, here's another good question: What do you do with duplicate Famicom RF switches? I just throw mine in the garbage bin.

I used to keep them, but then realised they never got used and took up too much space, so I've started selling them :)

Now I "only" have one AV modded Famicom, 2 Famicom Disk Systems (one doesn't work very well, plus I have an FDSStick too), one Sharp Twin Famicom and one Super Famicom.  Oh, and a cheap Subor famiclone.  On the non-Nintendo front, 2 Japanese Megadrives, one of those needs to be sold.

How much do you want for the JP MD squire?  I may know someone that wants it - if it's the early Model 1 with the red text around the slot and the (R) by the SEGA logo in the bottom right corner of the console.

It's a later one with no text/(R) logo and TMSS I'm afraid :)

I have two extra super fami's I should get rid of,plus a snes and a snes mini.

I just keep my spares as backup consoles and rarely I will sell or trade one.

I have 2 Dreamcasts, 4 Gamegears(1 for parts) 2 3ds's(1 old 3ds and 1 new 3ds XL)  and a few different gameboys. I had 2 PSP's but accidentally broke one during a full case swap, 2 Famicoms(both broken now) 4 n64s (gave 3 away, stupid me) and some other stuff like a gamecube even though I have a Wii that plays gamecube games, and so on.

I'm cool, I know. :p

I have quite a lot of consoles, always end up with a ton of them somehow (including clones and stuff).  Every once in awhile, I trim the fat and try to sell some.

I have 2x GayBoy Color + 2x GBA SP brighter for the exact same purpose (tradings in Pokemon and such).

Other than that I keep many multiple systems from different regions mostly for testing purposes like SNES PAL + SNES NTSC-US, Sega Mega Drive PAL + Sega Genesis NTSC etc. One more duplicate I have is 2x Famicom AV, one is RGB modded and the 2nd is unmodded, I wanted to keep one completely original. Other cuplicate consoles (mosly Sega Mega Drives PAL) I have lying around my room are for sale that I haven't listed yet

I have an extra SNES for back-up, and an extra Sega Master System which I'd love to trade (maybe for another system I don't own?), but can't find a long, skinny box to fit it in, and I'm too lazy to look.

The max amount I would have of a console is 5. I do have five NES , Snes , n64 etc. but of course, they're different versions of them. I always use the crappiest looking one for gaming. You can never have too many consoles!
