[The_It]

[kiariki]

CHRIST!!! That's one big list! O.O

[wolfpack]

someone has been REALLLLLY busy and someone will be spending a LOOOOOOOTTTTTTTAAAA money

[Anger]

i would bid on this in a heartbeat but this is the wrong time of year to be buying - which sucks.
i think it woulda been better to seperate them - perhaps into lots? i say this because i collect them myself but i dont need that much really. in fact i only saw a couple of things there that i would buy - which again sucks because i lack money. :( ahh well someone will be having a very nice chrimbo indeed.

[Xcliber]

i'd place a bid just for fun if i had any money in my paypal.

just to drive the cost up.
its only at 51 euros right now

[Destroyer699]

Holy. Flabby. Whale. Shit.

[grantendo]

stolen?
imagine if it was:rofl:

[Shadowblind]

So, how much is £51.00 in $?

[Lorestel]

If only I could just stand in that warehouse for but a minute....... I think my life would be complete.

[gymnotropic]

So, how much is £51.00 in $?

$68.

[matthewmcg]

right im willing to go to about 800 quid for it so ill wait and see how it goes. ill get a boat over with my van to take it home

[matthewmcg]

a few extra hours at work and its all mine

[Big_D_Bugzy]

I so want it. £102.00 right now wich is only about $182, but it should go much higher in 6 days 10 hours. i want to get a friend in on it with me if i did and then split it and the amount of money it would take to get it. then drive the few thousand miles with a trailer and pickup.

[MikeDX]

$68.

???? what calculator are you using? your almighty dollar isnt worth that much :rofl:


51.00 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 100.795 USD United States Dollars

1 GBP = 1.97638 USD
1 USD = 0.505975 GBP

[Vangar]

This guy isn't a collector, his probably someone that owns a shop and needs his old stock gone.

[StormB]

This little lot has already been on ebay before.. earlier this year. GP32.co.uk won the auction back then (they said so in a newsletter they sent to me).. Seems as though they're selling part of it on; i remember the original collection being even more massive.. sold for several thousand dollars. ($9000 if my memory serves me right)..

[quzar]

This isn't a collection, this is shop inventory. The worlds largest auction for video game consoles and games was sold a few months back. I don't know who remembers it here, but it had a buy it now for something like 50000 iirc. There were full sets of games for saturn, dreamcast, ps2, xbox, and gc as well as hundreds of carts and maybe 20 or so (at least) of every major console.

[Hungry Horace]

no speccys, no amigas, no c64's = gash collection. why bother?





and at least MikeDX is on-the-ball regarding the exchange rate... thought i was gonna have to pipe up about that one ;)

[S34MU5]

Oh DEAR LORD!

i really want this, but it will cost sooo much.

This guy is either a massive collector,
or robbed a game shop.

[MikeDX]

I bet eBay pulls the auction for having the GBA flashcards...

[SpooForBrains]

It's the GP2X team that's selling this stuff. If anyone would be placed to have a huge random collection of retro consoles, I imagine it would be them.

[F9zDark]

Whoever is selling it is not exactly the smartest. Most Ebayers make profit on the shipping rates (charging a few bucks more for shipping than they pay). Breaking this collection into smaller units and SHIPPING them will see a far more significant profit than having it be pickup only. Plus having to ship it allows for many more customers to bid on the smaller lots, thus increasing the profitability.

But much of the stuff is relatively undesireable, if not for the quantity. As well as the fact that the work : profit ratio between the two goes in favor of this method. Also, the fact that something like this will generate publicity is quite benefitial to it.

[dejkirkby]

To those on about the exchange rate, the dude said it was at 51 euros, not dollars.

[fstarter]

I chatted with the lad that owns all this stuff. As I used to live near him. He has had this stock for a while and has been meaning to sell it since he changed to only selling the GP2X.

[DefaultGen]

I want a SMS controller but I don't really want all that other stuff that comes with it.

Too bad that the $68 dollars was right... As we was asking for the conversion of Euros to U.S. Dollars, not GBP to U.S. Dollars. You must have been confused..

[shrimpidy]

wow. I wonder how much that all is.

My apologies, I saw a post saying 51 euros and assumed you were talking about that.
I bow to thee MikeDX.
