>>>it would be a waste to see the development kits sitting in some case.

Code some games for it and release them on the net.<<<

I remember reading that John Carmack gave his Jaguar development kit to a guy so he could make new games for the platform. (the only console platform that Carmack ever personally ported one of his games to)

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

I am speechless,if i had at least a million,i would buy it.

 

[Volt]

Holy Mother of Fuck !!
That's an amazing collection, probably the largest ever right ? This guy must be an ex-retailer or sth though, right ? He can't possibly have bought all of that rare stuff, I mean... it's mind-blowing !

He's got a lot of other auctions going for seperate rare items too, you guys should check 'm out !

About selling stuff on Ebay..

Would Sony be seriously pissed if I sold limited edition boxes, intented for press, on Ebay? I've got stuff like an Ico box, an amazing Jak & Daxter box and a special FF10 one.. will I get in trouble if I put them up for sale on Ebay?

 

[Tenguman]

>>>Half of me says, "Damn that's the shit!!!" but the other half of me says "$100,000 for shit nobody wanted in the first place???"<<<<

Nobody wanted development kits???

For...

Playstation 2
Dreamcast
M2
N64
64DD
Playstation
Saturn
Pioneer Laseractive
NEO-GEO (debug only)
SNES
PC Engine

Donuuuuuuuuuut... (drool)

Don't get me wrong, some of the stuff is sploog-erific. But with that M2 and 64DD, you also get a shit load of old PS2s, N64s. IMO, not worth 100grand of hard earned cash.


As a whole, it's too expensive. But if he parted it out, look the fuck out.

 

[DCX]

As a whole you accept the boatload of DC, PS2s and Gameboys becuase OF the M2, 64DD, the dev systems and the Mazyora. If you split it up there will be less interest in the lesser items.

Yes, you'd be in a huge trouble. Only by PMing me privately and selling me the ICO box for scads of money are you safe.

Something's not right here...

 

[Travado]

Wow! Amazing stuff! :O Too bad that i am not rich! :/

 

[Discharger]

I don't think there can be any other first reaction aside from the topic title. Seriously, I haven't even seen most of that stuff before and he has dev kits for a ridiculous number of systems..

Not sure if it's worth 100000 but it's worth a lot

 

[Neutron Night]

HOLY FUCK I WANT THAT....ARRRRGHHHH.....

This is what I would do all day if I were rich. Why can't I have millions? I'm smarter than many actual billionares.

 

[JackFrost2012]

I'm smarter than many actual billionares.

Your anti-handheld thread suggests otherwise!

 

[marsomega]

I really think the Dev kits alone are worth that much. The ps2 dev kits cost as much as a car EACH. Going on a figure I heard back in the day during the complaints about making games for PS2. The kits were supposedly very expensive with figures from 22k to 28k. The n64 dev kits were very expensive as well and even at that Nintendo's attitude towards handing those out was very strict. Supposedly Nintendo infuriated devs with expensive tool kits to a system. I think the PS dev kits were like 2 to 3k each though.

For you to get a PS2/n62/DC dev kit without all the licensing agreements and NDA's (Which there is no chance in hell they'll do anything of the sort with you) to just be given a chance to buy them makes those kits priceless. You would have full access to all technologies that would give Sony/Nintendo/Sega exec heads nightmares thinking someone out there can make old favorites free to play on anyone's computer instead of buying a remake/special re-release on a new system one.

Perhaps thats reason why he's not selling them individual is because he knows the warez community would eat the ps2 dev kits up.

 

[kevm3]

That's a whole lot of nice stuff, but $100,000 is a little too much.

 

[Apharmd Battler]

All I can say is that his collection puts mine to shame. And I thought I was hardcore. I really envy that collection. Man if I only had the money I have now when I was younger. I think about all the stuff I wanted but couldn't have because I was a poor college student (and I still got a lot of stuff). Hands down, that is one impressive collection, and it's obvious this individual had some serious overseas contacts (or was in the miltitary staioned overseas).

 

[Ranger X]

This guy is a hell of a hardware collector but i can't figure why he does not have any Master System and other portable out of Gameboy brand... And where are all the Atari consoles??

Anyhow, cool to look at. I guess he'll have a hard time selling this as one lot.

Never knew there was at least 40 games on the Amiga/Bandai Pippin!! lol

 

[Mr_Furious]

speechless...

 

[Mirk]

"GggGgg, Hey can I borrow a towel?"

 

[hirokazu]

how many megadrive variations and dreamcasts does this guy have o_0

...and game boys too...

...oh and of everything else...

...

*explodes*

 

[Culex]

Heh, the transaction instructions say:

INTERNATIONAL BONK TO BANK TRANSFER

Bonk is making the transactions. No cheats are you'll be head bashed.

 

[JackFrost2012]

Or is Japanese.

 

[jooey]

that entire auction screams

 

[Ronabo]

Wow, what a nice piece of gaming history that man has there.

Amazing.

 

[fennec fox]

Well, he's in Hong Kong and I'm willing to believe he's just a businessman and/or very dedicated collector.

I have some Lara Croft wine. I've been letting it age since 2002. I'm saving it for my 70th birthday.

 

[JackFrost2012]

Senior Eidos executives recommend letting Lara Croft wine age until 2016 - when it turns fourteen!

 

[Mason]

Hot damn. I wish I could afford that.

Let's pool together our money, GAFers! We'll make Playstation games and release them!

 

[The Faceless Master]

man, he even has the famicom limited edition gbasp!

 

[Meier]

I've never heard of that Playstation celebration wine. It sounds exclusive but why is it in particular such a big deal?

 

[buck naked]

that entire auction screams

Hahahah!

 

[teepo]

www.estarland.com sells mazora dreamcasts.

 

[Deleted member 284]

I wonder if I could come into a DC dev unit and just start porting all kinds of Mame stuff...
