there are a lot of things i would want from this collection.

especially stuff like pepsiman and the crows game that i would possibly never ever find anywhere else (the comic itself is hard to find... so the game)

what would you take? want? or pay for(and how much)?

[Libram]

Jesus, largest personal collection I've seen. I'll take it all.
Just wondering, is he selling anything individually...

[Gamdwelf]

I think the current owner of this collection had a problem with spending.

There was a thread here yesterday about this...impressive collection though

I bet some rich kid will buy it and brag about how many video games he has, and how much geeky he is to everyone else.

But in reality he will play 0 of these games.

Based on their asking price, I'm guessing they dont understand what a "dollar" is.

Impressive but most of the items are still boxed, so he has all these cool collectors items that were not even used.

Over 5 hundred thousand dollars. That is more than a price of a home in most of the US. All in video games, most of which are still boxed and never played. Buying shit he has not used in 30 years, sounds like a spending problem.

Edit: just looked it up, that is over double the median new home price in the USA.

What the... O.O Okey, that sure is impressive

So this is what happens when nerds become rich... quite impressive.

To be fair, thats a reasonable asking price for whats actually up for sale. As someone who owns over 500~ish NES games, 250~ish SNES games and about 600~ish other games over various platforms already, if I was stupendously rich and money was no object I'd snap this collection up, in fact I'd probably go up to about 700,000.

If i had the money but wasnt stupendously rich (i.e. that was almost all my money) I'd seriously consider it as an investment but would like a closer look at the entire inventory. If its just standard common retail games, possibly not worth it to me, i'd be looking for some rare/exclusives like a Nintendo World Championship cart or some prototypes to make it worth it.

The Mrs would kill me though.

It's called building a collection. Items lose value when you open the packaging.

The guy obviously has some spare change, I doubt he cares about the median home price.

What value does something have if it is never used?

[Taurenburger]

Not worth it imo, but then again I don't have even close to that amount of money. If I were multimillionaire I might check out what games are in that collection to see whether I can make money on that investment or not.

As much as one would pay for it.

I like how he has 0 feedback and wants a bank only money transfer next hes going to tell us hes moving to Niagara so just send it to a bank there.

if you can afford 550k Dollars to spend on games, then you can afford a flight to the city where the seller lives to go buy in person.

[Deleted]

Dude... wow! Just wow... don't even have time to read all the names of those games.

Thats pretty subjective to say. I think with todays new generation of young millionares he will find a buyer

You don't even have the time to play all those games within one lifetime. It's just a horrendous waste of money.

[Skippy88]

Okay if we all pool our money I think we can offer a bid .....and I mean "a" as in 1 bid. If we get get one other bidder we are screwed.

Impressive collection though.
