Damn son. Imagine all that shit getting lost in the post.

[Dark Octave]

If there was ever a reason to wish to live forever, this is it. There isn't enough hours in a man's lifespan to play all of these games.

[entrement]

DCharlie laughs at that pathetic assemblage.

I thought it was his lol.

[Wazzim]

Unfortunately 1 million euro is not withing my reach.

[Vilam]

By all means extremely impressive, but doesn't hold much personal interest to me since they're from a different region. Let's see a North America collection of that caliber please.

[Muffdraul]

Scroll to the end of the auction.

I just did, now I need a new mouse.

[soldat7]

That should go to a museum.

Bah, the North American equivalent would replace all the anime porn games with shitty sports titles.

Which... I don't particularly approve of either, but I'd rather see tits than like 30,000 games with the EA Sports logo.

[mr jones]

Yup, that's Adol. I sold him that Cyberbots. :)

This is a brag auction, but at the same time, its not. This auction doesn't have his Neo Geo collection, his Euro Neo Geo Pocket, his US SNES collection, his japanese PSX collection, etc.

In other words, he gave a price that he wouldn't mind letting these go for, and he'd still have games that he'd be able to look at on his shelf after pocketing a stupid amount of money.

Yeah, totally a brag auction. But he kinda earned the right, I think.

He's a good guy, though -- trustworthy dude to buy shit from. Ya know... if you're in the market for a million dollars of games.

[alphaNoid]

Most impressive collection I've ever seen, or may ever see. Beyond your eyes GAF

[Barkley's Justice]

who's up for a bit of Road Prosecutor?

[bjork]

This wouldn't be a good way to become a collector imo... isn't the thrill finding things for yourself? I always thought so.

Still, holy crap at this guy's stuff!

[DrStabwounds]

That is really awesome.

[Teknoman]

It is. I guess if you wanted to open your own store, it could be a significant investment if you could see double or triple how much you put in?

[TheJollyCorner]

That should go to a museum.

[Watanabe Kazuma]

All those unplayed games and not a GAF member? Shocking.

I don't know what use that collection has, apart from the bragging rights. it's not like you'd have the time to play them all. I think it would just depress me to look at the sheer scale of it all, but maybe that says more about me.

An impressive collection nonetheless.

[jetjevons]

Someone should create a Kickstarter to buy this collection and create a console museum.

[Winnie the Pimp]

who does he expect to sell this to?

I mean everyone that's INTO crazy huge game collections already HAS a lot of those games so there's no way he's gonna get it sold for that price

[mr jones]

It is. I guess if you wanted to open your own store, it could be a significant investment if you could see double or triple how much you put in?

But you're not. Out of all of those hundreds of games, less than half of them are worth anything.

Give you an example: On the Japanese Sega Saturn, you'll be able to sell most if not all of the shooters, and fighters. Games like Soukyugurentai, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, and Metal Slug will all sell, because they're very import friendly, and in high demand. Games like Psychic Assasisin Taromaru command a LOT of money.

However, after those have been sold off, you now have games like Can Can Bunny and Idol Maajan Final Romance 2. They MIGHT sell eventually, but you'll be sitting on expensive inventory for a long time.

[Watanabe Kazuma]

Gotta Catch 'Em All.

[Littlegator]

Honestly, yeah, this should go to a museum. You know it's going to happen some day.

[Chacranajxy]

Eh, thing is, he's offering to sell them in full sets, too. So if you just want all the 64DD games, he'll consider that... and at least that way, you're only paying like $5000 instead of $1.2 million.

This wouldn't be a good way to become a collector imo... isn't the thrill finding things for yourself? I always thought so. Still, holy crap at this guy's stuff!

You did find things for yourself. You found all the things! All of 'em!!!


Ahem, but yeah, I get where you're coming from.

[Mindman]

This is likely the greatest single video game collection in the world. Great, great stuff.

Yeah you've got a point there. I wonder if it will actually sell?

yeah the import goes for 30-40 bucks, I don't even have many Saturn imports, and I've got that one. :lol

[Crayons]

This is not the best way to become a video game collector. The best way is to walk into a garage sale or goodwill store and see they have Nintendo World Championship, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Earthbound etc. and they'll sell it to you for a quarter each.

Yes, I have had dreams like that.

I have no idea how some of you guys actually do that because the best thing I ever got from a garage sale was the Diablo 2 expansion disc for $4.

[FnordChan]

I did a quick bit of math. Based on the numbers given (plus some counting at the bottom of his list of the PC-FX and Laseractive games), this auction is for roughly 7,000 games. Not counting the systems included, this puts the average cost of each game at around $176.87 at the current exchange rate for the Buy It Now price. A bargain!

[kvn]

Setting up the ebay page alone must have taken weeks. So fucking crazy.

[PrinceOfApathy]

A million dollars? Come on!

[Marty Chinn]

My jaw is still on the ground. I swear if I win the lottery, I would buy it.

[evilromero]

I'll give that guy a $100. Take it or leave it bro.

[EYEL1NER]

Highly doubt it will sell at that price. Unless someone with a ton of money just wants to spend a lot on a ton of random games they don't care about.
If I've learned anything from Pawn Stars, it's that the market for a massive collection is very limited. Someone who wants all of the Sega games might not give a fuck about PC Engine titles. Someone who wants every NES game might only collect NES games and say "Why the fuck would I want 550 Dreamcast games?"

Better to split them all up by console only or category or something.
I think if it does sell, it will be to someone who buys it just because they can, not because they really want anything out of it.

[thomaser]

The Dreamcast had 550 while the N64 has only 200? No wonder I only had like 5 games throughout the lifetime of the N64.

That must be wrong. I have 217 N64 games. All except two are European releases, and there are many games that weren't released in Europe.

[Chacranajxy]

Again, he said in the auction that he'll let people buy a full set of games for a given system upon request... so he probably realizes he's not gonna sell $1.2 million of games in one go.

And only an idiot would wonder why they need 550 Dreamcast games.

Not sure what do you mean...

"GS-9076 Azel Panzer Dragoon RPG RPG"

[VALIS]

Reminds me why I hate ebay, everyone thinks their junk is the most valuable junk in the world.

It's a great collection no doubt, but how about you start the bidding at something like $25,000, champ, rather than a million dollars? I'd be surprised if he got 50K for it all by the end.

[Augemitbutter]

nobody is talking about the time he spend to accumulate all those games. people are weird.

[Spiffy_1st]

Would it be a good idea to buy it and then sell each game individually? Might be able to make a $100 profit if I'm lucky, so it'll be worth it.

[Wazzim]

This guy is the owner of a game shop in Paris.

'Gemu Otaku' lmao

Aww, that's so sad. A person who obviously have a passion for games is selling his entire collection. Why? Did he loose his passion or does he need the money for something important? By the looks of it he's selling a big part of his memory.

Prolly planing to buy some Greek islands now they're cheap.

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Oh, by the way, that's hardly every game ever. That's an ridiculous exaggeration. Still a very impressive collection. I reckon it'll take me at least ten years before my collection is quite that big. If all goes as planned though, his collection will look small compared to mine in thirty years. All depends on how the future plays out.

[Drazgul]

But where's all the PC games?

[BGBW]

If I skip a few lunches I probably could consider it.

[TerryWogan]

Surely this is the worst way to start a collection? It would completely bypass the act of, er, collecting.
