This guy isn't a collector, his probably someone that owns a shop and needs his old stock gone.
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)..
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.
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 ;)
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.
I bet eBay pulls the auction for having the GBA flashcards...
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.Quote:

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.Quote:
