Good God that's a lot of video game hardware.

Doesn't Cheapy have one of everything there but a gamecube?

[x0thedeadzone0x]

Wholy crap, I wish I had 4,000$. :lol:

[Squirms]

All I can say is wow.

[FrankySox]

Wow that is a lot of stuff.

[johnnyoski]

That is pretty sweet.
It will be quite a hassle for the winner to sell all those off as separate items.

[pimp tyranny]

good god. yes, i wish i had 4 or 5 thousand too. now i understand why i can't get an old system for cheap, because this guy's hording them all.

but damn could he be a lot richer if he sold all that individually.

[Magician]

It kind of seems like a shame to let go of all those systems for just 4,000. Thats a heck of a collection he has there.

[dtcarson]

"you should consider adding a new pin to every NES. This ensures your chances of selling the systems for $50-$80, with the $80 systems being sold during the Christmas holidays"
50 bucks for an NES? okay....
"$60-$80 NES systems, and $80-$125 Atari 2600's"
Is that the resale value of these things?

[his_dudeness20]

Wow, just wow.

This was posted a while ago, but it is still pretty awesome.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: out of 10 on the freaky meter!!!

[Tromack]

Ok, that is ridiculous. Who needs 290 systems? Besides people looking to sell and insane collectors. I would have much rather seen 1 of each system as opposed to 38 geneses (or whatever the plural is). If there was one of each system, I might be tempted to buy it. And it would cost much less than 4000.

[ryanbph]

that is incredible, for the price it is at currently seems like a good deal

[dcfox]

Yeah, but what did you do after you checked out the link? :lol:
As for the auction, it seems a little excessive to own like ten copies of every console. I wouldn't mind one of each, though.

[kristianator]

dammit, that's not every system ever made. still impressive though.

[Wshakspear]

If your going to start your own game store, your all set.

you know, other than the lease, employees and all sorts of overhead.

[dtcarson]

I would assume that's who's selling it, either a secondhand store, pawn shop, or fleamarket type seller. that type of person of course would be the most interested buyer as well.
What were there, like 9 Virtual Boys? Hmm, wonder who bought the other 7? ; )

[PsyClerk]

No Vectrex? Not interested.

Look at how dingy some of those SNES boxes look. Yikes. Don't smoke, kids.

[megashock5]

If your going to start your own game store, your all set.


Exactly. That's what I thought when I saw it. Why couldn't I have won the lottery last night so I could retire and start a game store just for fun. Instant inventory.

[visuatrox]

I would like to hear the story behind this, I wonder what he was going to do with all these systems and how/where he got them..

I don't think he was/is a collector, especially considering there is so many of each unit, and he is missing out on some of the coolest/rarest consoles.

[Wshakspear]

So...nobody has been bored enough to add up the cost of all that using avg. prices?

[greendj27]

I don't see any Coleco Vision. What a ripoff. :)

[MorPhiend]

Holy crap... I wantee...

[MorPhiend]

One question? How does one go about shipping such a thing? That alone is going to cost as much as the auction...

[Mookyjooky]

I dont see any M2's.....I have one.... it WAS made.

[dtcarson]

Shipping was about 17 69 pound boxes....UPS .com is slow right now, but that's gotta add at least 500 bucks to the price. I think he's located in SC, might be better to just take a weekend drive down there if you're anywhere in the Southeast.
Hmm, actually, I just guesstimated some sizes on Fedex.com, and from SC to me here in NC it looks like around 20 bucks a box. [Which is indeed just under 500 bucks.] From my zip to the classic 90210 is 40 bucks a box, so shipping is definitely going to add a bit.

[MorPhiend]

I dont see any M2's.....I have one.... it WAS made.

Didn't Matsushita just end up putting that in a few DVD players, and then like "3" games were made for it? I would call that a console as soon as I would call the CD-i a console...

[hutno]

This is what happens when you lose control on CAG

[ngxbox2004]

I just got a huge boner.... lol. *drools.*

[MorPhiend]

What I find cool/interesting is the X'Eye, CD/X and Jaguar CD. I never saw any of those except for a brief couple of months behind a glass panel at TRU. I didn't know that anyone ever bought any of those...

[MorPhiend]

This is what happens when you lose control on CAG
:rofl:
All too true. I'm on my way there...

[RaekwonThaChef]

holy lord in heaven.

i don't have that money but i do have a credit card with a $10,000 limit....

haha i'll just keep on dreaming

[RAMSTORIA]

it has to be a failed business, nobody, not even the most hard core collecters would have that many duplicate systems

[AlbinoNinja]

who would need 290 systems, especially when most of them only come with a few games?

on an unrelated note, 300 posts yay

[tholly]

dammit, that's not every system ever made. still impressive though.

exactly.....its not even close

nothing about 78 NES systems impresses me

[el bobo]

Shipping is going to be a bitch...

[PsyClerk]

One question? How does one go about shipping such a thing? That alone is going to cost as much as the auction...

Read the whole auction. He has a picture of everything boxed up and mentions the average weight of each. There's also a full list of what it will look like shipped. I guess they'll negotiate shipping after the fact, but it lets you get a good idea depending on how you want it shipped.

[rywateska]

Impressive.

[WarrenGekko]

That's probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen

[Moxio]

*creams pants*

If I may so bold to say: holy fucĸing shit.

[Nirvanaguy777]

dam thats alot of systems, i cant even imagine how he stockpiled all those

[pimp tyranny]

amazing

[defender]

I never thought I would see someone Ebay a store.

[Moxio]

Ahahaha, ended at $11,500. Too bad the bidder decided to keep his/her name private.

[JSweeney]

Ehh, it's ok, but it's really just a few uncommon pieces just thrown into a pile of fairly current and fairly common stuff.

[Rodimus]

All I want is that Sega CDX
