And it's For sale

[MisterDaSausage]

Watching bid history on this auction, and I'm not sure how it works on Gamegavel.... but currently the high bidder is peeps_10091970 .... he also outbid HIMSELF 5 time in a row in a span of 2 minutes...

Is he just plain stupid or a blatant bid-jacking person...

Either way... not for me, i prefer to hunt for the game, been real slow for the past 4-5 months here, but when ill find that next gem....damn it will be nice and ill feel great!

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.

Digital doesn't count 

Agree with you, only physical copies worth and can be count

I have noticed that on ebay, sometimes I watch the bid history and I see people outbidding there self or bidding way high (start at 0.99, then 1.50, 2.00 and all of the sudden there is an idiot that bid 20 with a lot of days left) when that happens I always think that maybe the same person selling the item is bidding with another account to get the money he wants or maybe a friend

It's most likely the proxy bids needed to beat other bidders.  

And if we're counting digital and roms, HA. GoodNES 3.23 has 22041 known Nintendo Famicom/NES ROMS (V3.23)  When you add all the other consoles, and then move to old PCs, that's a huge amount of digital games you can have. Basically, every game, ever, except old discrete ones with no roms.

Edit: Wait, seller is good deal games?  I didn't know this.

Usually, on eBay at least, when you see multiple bids by the same person in a row, its because they changed their max bid.

Agreed.

Otherwise I could go to internet and download all available game roms (I bet way over the record....) and claim to have biggest collection.

Maybe but either way i don't trust those bids

Well, it has ended. The final bit was $750,250 by peeps_10091970

and in 6-10 years it'll be all boxed up and ready to ship.  For 1 million dollars if you select over-night shipping.

Really, he should have included his house in the deal, new owner just moves in.

I agree. In the long stand, it doesn't, but I'm curious how much it's split up, and also how he had time to count it all. Really I just have absolutely no idea about this collection.

Good to see it's gotten sold though. A bit hopeful reaching for a million though. At least this sort of mass sale doesn't hurt collection as a whole, sense no one's going to collectively split the costs of all these games.

And it sold for a cool 750k

Nice how the article says one of the biggest private collections

[Ozzy_98]

I know I've got one of the biggest privates, but I only have one, so it's not exactly a "collection".
