Who has enough money to buy all these games?

[Shinz]

Is it sold? or is it listed? it seems that it was not sold by descriptions gave in the copied text.

[Caiada]

Holy hell. The pictures show it's almost certainly not a fake. Seriously, wow.

Based on the picture it looks like it's sold, I could be wrong tho

[Deleted]

Who ever bough it just made a small fortune.
Assuming he even just takes the time to sell the 22 sets separately he could make a few hundred thousands dollars of benefit !

To buy a complete collection... and then to break it up... BLASPHEMY.

I can honestly say that if I bought that auction for the games in it I still don't have that the vast majority of those factory sealed ones would be opened since I would never have any plans to re-sell them. Its cool that he is selling the Nintendo Power service version games, don't see them to often.

[jeremynative]

thats so funny and rare, i guess the buyer never heard of emulators

[Kaosbringer]

A lot of people prefer to play them as they where originally intended, on a home console.

[Mr Anderson]

wow... someone has a little too much time on their hands lol

[cywang86]

That's a lot of time, money, and space to get all those.

[Zoukan]

Seems all games are in Japanese. What if the buyer spend 1 million euro's on it and can't read Japanese? Problem?

[Deleted]

As it's also a topic on many gaming news sites, It should be true.
And well, It's a lot, but the seller is a store for this kind of games and the buyer is perhaps too

It's not really about playing it sometimes, more of just some crazy collector.

[TEHPALLYTANK]

If you have the time to play all those you probably have the time to learn japanese.

Oh yeah, it sold... yesterday?, Sunday maybe (that's when I got the link sent to me anyway), OP has posted the same link my friend sent me.... man some people have so much money it's almost criminal, but then again, successful collectors aren't ones to brag about wealth from what I've noticed, doubt we would ever find out.

The thing is, the will power to never ever open those things would have to be immense and the new owner of all of this stuff will no doubt never, ever, open any of these items as the value is just going to keep going up and up... imagine what that will be worth in 30 years time if kept in that condition.

The new owner of all these wonderful things just became my most favorite person I'll never know, so jealous right now.

[endersblade]

I just nerdgasmed so hard, I don't think anything will ever cause me to nerdgasm again. That is so over-the-top ridiculous, I'm at a loss for words.

[Deleted]

I dont know what impresses me more. The guy who collected it or the guy who bought it. If its the same guy with 2 accounts then...

mind blown

At this point I would personally just learn to read Japanese..

Indeed! I would make a museum with it and make my money back, maybe.
