Want an Old or Obscure Game? Here's your chance...

Post » Thu Jun 12, 2014 12:19 am

I read about this guy last year in a magazine. Not only does he have a ton of games (the collection probably does weigh more than a ton), he has most all the game consoles ever made. Quite the collection, and it's for sale

Read about this last night. Think the bid is up to $700k now and will probably continue to rise....not bad. Whoever wins this just has to get one more game not in the trove and be the new guiness world record holder :P

Gamestop probably wouldve offered $100 for it all...pshh

What an impressive collection. I think I only have about 50 titles alltogether, but 11,000? Wow. I'm interested to know what it finally sells for.

I did not realize he is selling the entire collection as one set. Makes sense as selling these individually would be a chore to say the least.

How in the world will they deliver all 11,000 items?

The UPS/fedex/usps guy is gonna have fun...

Or maybe they'll use a U-haul..or two.

Well, he doesnt list the games hes got (chore in itself), but for sure there are some rare gems there. Makes sense to sell em all at once...who knows how many garbage titles are in there too.

Im curious to know how many of his 8300 or so opened titles he actually played through. He'd have to complete at least 1 game a day if my math is right for 20 years...and hes married with kids.

By the nine Holy Aedra Cows slaughtered for divine steak,

That is big [censored] collection!

It seems to be two guys are competing for it right now in the bidding, pushing it higher and higher.

He's definitely letting go of a big part of his life.

You have to hand it to him, it sounds like he paid in roughly $60,000 and now stands to be a millionaire.

Yeah, I was going to say that it seems a pretty inefficient method of getting one obscure game you're looking for :P.
