At this point, simply owning a massive collection of sealed games is where the enjoyment comes from.

There aren't enough hours in your life to actually play ~6700 different titles.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

only two shelves? not impressed

 

[KennyLinder]

And his mom said he'd never get anywhere with these games!

 

[Canis lupus]

Do you have them sealed??

 

[mao2]

Holy crap!

 

[Bisnic]

1.2 millions worth of video games and he'll probably not even play half of them.

 

[J0dy77]

The link to the page says sold. Good for that guy!

 

[ArynCrinn]

That's a crazy collection, good luck to him selling it all. My main collection came from dozens of Steam sales...

 

[eXistor]

This is spectacular. Everything I own now feels so insignificant.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

That's just the Saturn games. And the reason it's only two shelves is because no more exist.

 

[olimpia84]

I wonder how much profit he made after selling this auction.

 

[Tagg9]

Half? He probably won't play ANY of them.

 

[galvatron]

sold! dang. millionaire.

The 40-year-old virgin business model actually works?!

 

[Palette Swap]

I bought a load of games from this guy 10-15 years ago, very nice guy.

But yeah, I'm one of these people who will never understand sealed collections outside of official curation purposes.

 

[Genesis Knight]

I'd be shocked if money actually changes hands (as in, that the buyer was legit).

 

[Heart Attack]

doesn't ebay take 35% of the total winning bid?

 

[out0v0rder]

of course theres no 100% psx in there. it's impossible to have every game for that.

 

[sorijealut]

So it was sold!

Those pictures really take you away...

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'd be shocked if the buyer and seller didn't just make an agreement to do the transaction outside of Ebay.

 

[RumblingRosco]

doesn't ebay take 35% of the total winning bid?

I think 9%, but if he goes through PayPal roughly another 3%.

 

[Jackano]

I hope he will get his money after the 999999,99 bid, and that bid is not a joke!
Crazy to see this kind of things on ebay, but the whole thing is clever.
Yeah, with 1M, you can buy yourself a second life so as he like games (obviously) I wish him the best of luck!

 

[5amshift]

What the fuck. How would you even store all that?!

You're looking at it.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

quite the amazing collection

 

[Sorcerer]

I wonder what eb would give me in trade in value?

Lets assume Gamestop did still take the games in this collection in.

The collection is worth $1,230,699.99. (US).

Translated through the Gamestop filter, this seller would walk away with $17.03.

Then Gamestop would take that same collection, sell the individual pieces, and probably make

$5,000,000,000.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Definitely fun to look at all the pics.

Price does not seem too bad considering what is included. Must of cost a fortune for him to amass all that stuff, even if they were bought during release.

Still, never understood the "sealed" collector mentality.

 

[Timo]

I he even making a profit though? That's a lot of video games. And I'm sure most of them were bought at either full price or possibly higher since they are sealed.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Sold for over 1.2 million United States Dollars???

Mother of God.

I wonder how much profit he actually made off of it.

Who's that in your avatar?

 

[fenners]

Who's that in your avatar?

That would be Lush, one of /my/ favourite indie bands evar.

Am I right in thinking they're kind of like Stereolab without all the Moog-iness?

 

[Littlegator]

Sooo it sold.

 

[Sorcerer]

Am I right in thinking they're kind of like Stereolab without all the Moog-iness?

I know little about Stereolab but what I've heard I would say they are very, very experimental.

Lush were part of the so called "shoegazing" scene in the 90's.

But ever band in that scene sounded different to me.

My Bloody Valentine were lumped into that scene and no way does My Bloody Valentine sound like Lush.

But Lush changed a lot eventually becoming a full on pop band on their last album.

So defining their sound is very difficult for me.

But a search on Youtube will probably answer your question.
