Starting bid is only $550,000!

I can't imagine there's anyone on earth with $550,000 AND the desire to own that many video games.

Seeing auctions like this always remind me of what a materialist hoarding scumbag I truly am. :drool;

the scroll wheel, it does nothing

 

[LumbergTech]

that is a truly impressive collection

 

[Newbian]

Does the collection smell like shame and regret?

I do love that the seller has a feedback of 0.

What a colossal waste of time and money. That crap isn't worth anywhere near what he's asking for it.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Wow that is a LOT of games. I don't think I have enough years left in my life to even go through all that if I had them. Unless I won lot of money and could retire now. :awe:

Auction with old computers, like an Amiga 500. :biggrin:

So close to getting into Mordor.

I'd rather have a tenth of that collection than a Lotus Elise tbh.

If you look at the pdf list he has he surprisingly doesn't have a Jaguar console.

The irony is that the majority of that collection can be played via emulators.

I'm not sure that's really ironic - emulators aren't a replacement for the real thing. For example, I've never really been able to get an Amiga emulator running to my satisfaction - there is always something not quite right.

I'm pretty sure I saw a Jaguar in the photos. Let me check again.

Edit: Yep, it is boxed - second photo.

fucking loser.

fucking loser.

It is excessive, but I don't think it is any different than any other kind of excessive collection. 😀

 

[kranky]

fucking loser.

Not if it sells! 🙂

This is intense

I cant either...... I only value what i consider GOOD GAMES.. (Games from the early 80s (Arcade,Atari,Coleco and some Commodore 64 stuff))

 

[GoPackGo]

Everything looks to be in great condition...what a trip down memory lane!

 

[CPA]

That is damn cool. I haven't heard of half those consoles.

I also don't envy the guy or have disdain for him (unlike some people). It's his money, he can do with what he wants with it.

oh, no, don't get me wrong... i think anyone who collects things in excess is a fucking loser.

Ah, he has it listed under Jaguar not Atari Jaguar. My bad.
