So, I stumbled upon this auction a few days ago,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIGGEST-COL...ux_Vidéo&hash=item4605501c13#ht_161279wt_1163

I've been poring over the pictures ever since.

Dude is selling like... every game ever. I don't even know how one amasses a collection like this without being majorly connected with people in the industry... Pretty incredible stuff to look at, even if you can't quite foot the bill.

It's also funny to see how minor fluctuations in the conversion rate change the price by tens of thousands of dollars.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Shipping is ~$1,200 lol.

 

[Clydefrog]

fuck me!

 

[Darklord]

$1.2 million and it doesn't even come with Nintendo world championships? Terrible.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

I wanna know who this person is.

 

[Gintoki]

Holy..fucking..shit.

He better include the place the games at in the deal.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I wanna know who this person is.

The guy's gotta be somebody. How does one have every single game for an NEC console, factory sealed? And he says he's had tons of copies of these games floating around before...

perhaps owned a game store at some point

 

[Data West]

Is it possible to archive the page or something? Just to see all that stuff for future generations.

 

[kittens]

[TheDarkKnight774]

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

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Jaw Drop!

 

[lethial]

[goodfella]

Fuck wow.

[Wiz]

[joelseph]

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

 

[Meier]

DCharlie laughs at that pathetic assemblage.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

Someone will buy this.

or rob his house saints row the third style and use a helicopter to air heist his collection out

 

[PigSpeakers]

I offered 50 euros. Then I saw the obscene shipping. Oh well, not gonna win anyways.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I Want to steal all that saturn stuff.

 

[captmorgan]

[Wiz]

Might as well hiest the entire house then.

 

[Data West]

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

Nothing given that they don't take any of those systems anymore

 

[shinobi602]

Over $1.2 million?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[bluethunder]

If I were to win the Lotto Max tonight, I'd certainly give him $1,000,000 for all that.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm still trying to figure out if the value he placed on it is justified. Because there are a lot of games in there that go for several thousand dollars, and a lot of those games he has sealed. Which is insane. I don't have time to go through all of it, obviously, since there are probably like 12000 games here or something... but he might not be completely off-base.

 

[andymcc]

that saturn collection is beautiful.

 

[Seik]

Holy shit!

*Scrolls down*

What? 100% EVERYTHING?

 

[Dog Problems]

Brings a tear to my eye. So beautiful.

I've been slowing selling away my collection and would love for someone to come along and just buy it all at once.

 

[onQ123]

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Monk]

Best Backlog EVER.

 

[jooey]

Looks like Adol. long, long, longtime collector. Weird that someone like that would just want to sell everything at once, considering how much stuff he regularly listed on eBay for years. Could be some weird form of posturing, but I dunno; I'm not really insane enough to think like an ubercollector.

The guy's gotta be somebody. How does one have every single game for an NEC console, factory sealed? And he says he's had tons of copies of these games floating around before...

Obviously connections help, but even when they don't, money talks.

 

[MDSLKTR]

One day our steam backlog will be as big as this. But yeah, impressive. Even more with the fact that they're all mint.

 

[MajorPain]

WOW!

 

[Dark Octave]

The Dreamcast had 550 while the N64 has only 200?

No wonder I only had like 5 games throughout the lifetime of the N64.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Nah, I'll wait for the Steam summer sale.

 

[scorpscarx]

Best Backlog EVER.

lol

Seriously though, that list is so long.
