HOLY MONKEY!!!
I think this is the biggest lot I've ever seen!
Wonder why he's getting rid of them all?
yeah i was looking at that a few days ago, i was like " holy god damned shiz bammed craziness!" Pretty nice.I would like to have that in my mailbox.
It has a day to go, and the bid is at $8000 already. That's too high for 2000 games. I wonder if the auction is going to end up like that Dracula one that was posted on these forums with a non-paying bidder.
That's only $4 a game, a lot of those are worth more than that.
I wish I had $8,000 to blow on video games. I think this is where a limitless creditcard comes in hand.
I would be more surprised if he didn't.
I saw this a couple days ago. Yea, its huge. I wish I had 8,000 dollars plus...
I think the average game there is worth probably about $3 or less. He said he has about 800 or something unique games, out of 2000. That means there are a lot of doubles, which means there are a LOT of common games.
The value comes in the convenience. Instant collection. But that's no fun, right?
When valuing my NES collection according to Digital Press, I discovered that most
NES Games are $3 or more, $2 being a fairly uncommon figure, and only the most retardedly common games (SMB/DH) are $1
Many of these are SNES and N64 games, which rarely go below $5, I think it's a good deal. Not that I could ever afford anything of that sort in a single lot, but I don't think it's incredibly high priced...
After all, he does list 3 copies of Chrono Trigger, that's $150 right there in three carts.
I agree it's a decent price, but when you buy in bulk like that, you normally expect to save a lot. I've seen auctions for 700 games go for just over $3/game. We'll see where the auction ends up when it's done. Especially since this is probably getting a lot of attention.
If the winner has patience, or is already an established dealer on eBay, he/she could make a lot of money selling them one by one. Especially with the "shipping/handling" rates that are common on eBay these days.
