I have some, for instance, Secret agent Clank t shirt, Uncharted 3 Tshirt, Playstation cloth bags, Syphon Filter PSP screen wipe. Strange little "bits" I know but just wondering if people collect them.
I've also got some "retro" stuff.
A Bubsy the Bobcat long sleeved tshirt and metal pin badge. A Streetfighter 2 Nintendo magazine plastic bag and Iron on t shirt transfer.

There are a myriad different collectors... some will collect ALL the items they can for a specific franchise, some all the items of a type - promos, playing cards, t-shirts etc and some anything that catches their beady collector eye so safe to assume if its collectible then someone will want it....

Yes, I have to see those bags and shirts.

And then there are a few like me, who will buy almost anything collectible..

I have a buttload of promo gaming t shirts. The thing I like about them is that you can get them generally for really cheap or free!

They also don't tend to sell for much. I've purchased tons of promo gaming shirts for $5 to $10; and I've sold many for usually no more than $15.

There are some rare exceptions of course. You can generally get the most money for them right at the height of the associated games popularity. Like I just sold a The Last of Us shirt for $55. That's a rare high price. It made that much because the game is still somewhat fresh and very popular. I've seen the same shirt sell for $75. That was when the game had just released though.

I've also seen a few vintage shirts sell for high prices; shirts for games like Zelda and Metroid.

It all depends, but most times they're pretty cheap basically.

Shirts that are handed out at special events (like conventions) tend to sell for a ton of cash too. But that's generally true mostly when the shirts first surface. After the hype settles, the same shirts can come down to that magic $10 to $15 mark. That's when I swoop in!

Thanks everyone, I'll post some pics of what I have later on.

Do any of you know anybody who collects Film posters , memorabilia?

I have a load of "modern" film posters late 90's early noughties and film merchandise.

These include a Terminator 2 leather jacket, Terminator 3 6 foot lenticular "poster" which was originally the insert of a cinema standee. Night Watch shot cups, X2 metal wristwatch (Which I have never seen the likes of since) and lots of original posters. Wanted to sell them all as a collection.

Haha yeah we all have those sorts of things

That beings said there is actually some very rare and highly collectible candy out there

There were mints in a metal tin for Bioshock 2, came with a rare press kit but often got seperated from it

Hence the mints + tin by themselves are fairly highly sought after
