He most likely received a ton of emails from people that just wanted conker. Then sold it off to whomever offered the most money.
That shit happened to me when I drove across the state to pick up a ps1 lot that was supposed to include Tomba. Mad as hell.

Might have been the case, but his place was a real mess so I wouldn't be surprised if he just couldn't keep track of his stuff. He was finding all kinds of stuff while I was there. He had a Gameboy Micro, but it was all scratched up even though I do kind of want one. Also had an original DS, Virtual Boy, bunch of computer games, gameboy games, Dreamcast, little snes system, and a bunch of other stuff. He was getting rid of it all to pay for extra controllers and games for an Xboxone and ps4 preorder.

Hmm...well except for the fact that some of his stuff seems poorly cared for, it is people like this that help us collectors! Getting rid of the old "junk" and shell out the big bucks for the new fancy shit.
FritzWhite:
Yeah, some of the stuff is in shit condition. I don't really mind restoring game discs, carts, and their cases though. I got this huge lot of cases for various systems from my local Gamestop when they shut down so games without a case isn't a problem. I am starting to run low on original xbox cases and I'm loathe to put ogxbox games in any other type.
I also picked up a copy of Conker a while back in a different pickup. It came with a xbox system with cables and extra controllers. I like having an extra one of each retro system in storage just in case any of mine breakdown so for $30, that was a decent pickup for me. Problem with Conker is that is was disc only, like a lot of the games I got from the messy guy, leaving me with no manual. I don't mind printing my own covers and using my cases, but it drives me nuts not having manuals for ps2, xbox, and x360.
I made the decision a while back to NOT try and go complete for snes and nes games because hunting down manuals for all of those is just too expensive and it would bug me if I had a manuals for a lot of the games, but not all because one was too obscure or costly. Plus there's no holder for them in the ugc.
