Million-Dollar Game Collection Sells on eBay

[GundamSentinel]

And still I doubt there are more than a few games in that entire collection that I would actually want to play. My compliments to the buyer, but if I had that kind of money, this wouldn't rank high on my list of things I'd want to do with it.

Excellent!!! Money well spent.

You can't be serious.

Maybe someone should call the Guinness Book of world records people. Largest collection of games much, or at least ever sold.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Wow, just wow. It make me wonder why of all the time he/she chosen the recent days to ebay his/ her collection (ran out of space to keep it or got a massave debts to pay)?

 

[Jazoni89]

No 3DO, Neo-Geo AES/CD, CD-32, Intellivision, or Atari 2600/7800/Jaguar...?

Booooo...hiss!

It would of been so worth it then.

Who is this person? How did they get so many games that they were able to actually pick and choose which copies of every game for 3 different systems they actually kept?

 

[Cecilthedarkknight_234]

shit I thought I had a lot games maxed out at 1000.... well This is pretty damn nice

 

[weirdee]

although it's cool as a private collection, i think it would be more awesome if we finally had a video game museum/gallery which wasn't constantly struggling for money...

so somewhere in that collection is a mint copy of Earthbound... shit

I don't think the Super Famicom version is that rare. Let's see...
Yup, Here we go! Japanese Earthbound for the Super Famicom, 5 bucks. The article didn't say Super Nintendo, so I doubt there is a mint copy of the giant American/EU box.

but the condition looks immaculate!

Ehhhh, it's alright. And one in super good condition wouldn't probably cost you much more. Maybe like 15-20 bucks and you will get yourself a super good Mother 2 in box, full with all the flyers and crap.

One of those things where you keep telling yourself "I need to collect some mint condition stuff to try selling at a later date."

Hmm, what will be worth a lot in a few years?

And thats exactly why i never throw anything out. Some stuff i got is 50 years old, time to start trying to sell stuff.

 

[Revolutionary]

Why would you sell that?
I just figure if you've collected that many games, wouldn't you just keep collecting?

Some rich persons kid, not too far a stretch, those old systems cost an arm and a leg at the time, and games well to get multiples would be very expensive and more to the point who ever buys more than one game to get the best copy, that to me says it was someone that just had loads and loads and loads of money to spend.

i guess i would be more interested in the retail value of that set, all them systems and each and every game ever made added up vs the 1.2 million, which seems like a lot, but every game ever made? add to that the idea of this person owning several copies 1.2 could be a loss on that type of collection. One might also assume that he owned mutliple versions of each console even.

They don't have Suikoden II, which would have justified 200 of those million+ dollars.
