I am either going to ebay auction these games soon (I do have GOG and steam copies of a lot of these titles), trade for other games or toss the boxes and keep the games, have not decided yet, looking for outside opinion, what do you think I should do?(no matter what I can't keep the boxes, don't have the room).

Even if you don't want the money, or think it's to much of a hassle to go through ebay, don't throw the boxes away. Many of those games are classics and the boxes are valued by many gamers.

If you don't have the room, I would sell/trade/gift the boxes and games to people who will appreciate them. Ebay is a good way, because there the people who will value those games most will also show themselves by paying more money.

Especially if you have them on GOG or Steam their is no real need for a whole bunch of discs. Backup your GOGs and enjoy the newfound space.
Yeah, just put it all on ebay as a bundle.

You have some really nice things there (The Horde :] ), and someone would be happy to pick it up.
Game boxes and discs can be like photographs of a great vacation to some. Know that with your collection of games, if you do get rid of them, chances are you'll never own them again.. at least not at an affordable price.

Think long and hard before departing with something you will most likely never own again. You may not want them now, but who knows, you may end up regretting having given them away when you reminisce a few years from now.

I guess its something that can be said about all areas of life.
Yep - as others said, put the games on ebay (as a collection), you should get a good price and the games will end up with someone who cares for them.

Make some pictures of the boxes and discs that show their condition. Also, include everything you have - boxes, manuals, flyers that have been inside the boxes, etc. The more complete the items are, and the better their condition is, the more money you'll get for them. Don't worry about spending 2-3 $ to upload a whole set of good pictures - the offer is good enough to bring that money back in, and real collectors (i.e. the ones who are likely to pay the most) will appreciate them.
Whatever you do I do not think throwing away the boxes is a good idea. They are becoming more and more valuable with every year.

irawesome: Why don't you have the classic Maxis games (80s-90s)!?!?
I did not list every game I own
How much would you be hoping to get for them?

MonstaMunch: How much would you be hoping to get for them?
I was Thinking of bundling them in groups of 5 - 6 or selling all the Adventure games together and all the RPG together(but the D&D stuff in its own separate bundle), etc. if you have something in mind for one or a bunch of them pm me. I may be will to give the boxes away(minus the games if someone in willing to pay shipping), will need to think about it.

I did not list everything, just the stuff I have or know I can get digital duplicates of.

Did Not really answer your question their did I, lol, I'm not greedy probably at least their digital worth plus shipping and handling

I have The Horde. The box is really cool. Sadly, mine's a bit worn, especially around the teeth.

mine is as well
I wouldn't ditch the boxes, if I couldn't keep the games complete, I'd probably sell them. Though I think I'd sell them individually instead of one large bundle, or in groups based on series or developer, like the 3 Tex Murphy's together, The 7th Guest and 11th Hour together, the Krondor's and Antara together, Arcanum and Bloodlines together, etc.
Yeah, whatever you do, don't throw the boxes away, you'd make me and millions of others cry bitter, nerdy tears.
Keep the box and the manual. Invest in paper disc sleeves and bundle them all up.
Would you be willing to sell Sanitarium and 7th Guest by any chance thorough a pay pal transaction (and if askign this voids any of GoG's rules please pretend yous never read it >.<
