Hunt down the witches!

EDIT: By the way. Does anyone else think how boring it would be to buy so many games at once. I mean were'S the fun in woning so many games in one swoop. No hunting, no bargain getting, no fun, no nothing....

Hunt down the witches!

We shall.

By the way. Does anyone else think how boring it would be to buy so many games at once. I mean were'S the fun in woning so many games in one swoop. No hunting, no bargain getting, no fun, no nothing....

Think it from the other perspective.
It's like Christmas.
You open package after another and never know what gem you shall recieve.

I for example never have oportunity to go bargain hunting for used games, here are nearly no garage sales, and only one shop that sells used older games.
Flee markets are just full of clothes.

And I am also lazy and like to get my hands to stuf as easily as possible. 8)

Same thing here, that doesn't mean that i like to buy them all at once but is not as easy as some of you guys have the chance to find thinks in the wild and so, soooo, soooooooooo, cheap  :o. for example, someone bought Mario sunshine the other day i think it was on a flee market and posted here, he pay a think $5 and the lowest price i had found is $22 on ebay and like 25 or 30 on a game store near me.

I'd be surprised if this went for what he's got the reserve set at.

Well, what can i say, the reserve has been met, already at $750,250.00 :o

Wow, I'm quite surprised. Can't say it'd be worth that much to me, though.  ;)

Dude lives like... an hour west of me, tops.  I'm in the next city east (Rochester).  And I know other people from Buffalo on other forums, and it's AMAZING how much cheaper/more plentiful games seem to be in Buffalo.  Absolutely ridiculous.  I need to go out there some weekend when I'm not working just for a garage sale/pawn shop sweep, I think even with gas at almost $4 a gallon I'll make money!

I don't know.  i expected to see a bid war like that at close to the end of the auction.  Not with 4-5 days left.  I think those two are just running up the bid, and going to make trouble for the guy in the long run.

So many shelves of games. If you were going to play them all, you'd certainly need a cloning machine.  :P

Dropping that kind of coin on a collection that has a handful of bright spots and mostly filler otherwise is crazy. They're looking at over $65 per title. Even with some of those rare games, I think they're still overpaying tremendously.

I think it includes all the systems too - and there are AES and MVC collections included, but yeah, still not something i would buy.

One of my acquaintances claims to have 5000 games over this guy, though a lot are digital. How he accrued such a manner of plastic, I know not.

Hm. I don't see anything about actual systems being included. I could see the price being a bit closer to that figure if they are, but without them, no way.
