Hunting the games is the fun part, if I have the money I would not buy all the games together

I never believe that the sellers if these types of auctions really want to sell.  For one reason or another, it seems like they all end up being some sort of publicity stunt. I may be wrong, but I'm still willing to bet that he isn't really trying to sell.

If the price is right, wouldn't you be willing to sell your collection? If someone offered me an amount I simply could not refuse I would seriously consider parting ways with my collection. Then again that is just hypothetical and wishful thinking.

I agree with both of you.  I don't believe for a second that he wants to sell.  However, he might be willing to sell for the right price. 

For example, I have no intention of ever selling my game collection.  But if someone walked up and offered me $30,000 for my collection, I wouldn't think twice to sell it.  For that price, I could buy back everything I have and still have enough money to more than double my original collection.  Obviously that will never happen, but I think it's a good example of what's happening here.


Well if that's the case and I will have money to buy the collection again and  more, I will definitely sell them :P

No, not really. Don't need the money right now, and my collection means a lot more to me than just a monetary value. In fact, I rarely even consider its value at all. Plus, nobody is offering this person money, he's asking for it. It takes a very specific kind of buyer to purchase a lot like that, and most of the people I know in the game collecting world who could afford it, already have most everything that they want already :P

I still call shenanigans.

Well, if someone offers me $30,000 for my 90 games believe me I will not doubt for a second on selling them lol.

I know, I know, you guys are talking about big collection  :P

I saw this on ebay yesterday morning and spent the better part of an hour searching the forums to find that post.  I never did, but I knew the pics were here somewhere.

It's not so much he's selling it, as just putting it up for offers, and if anyone bites, good deal, otherwise, no loss.  He's moving apparently, http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=23&catid=3&threadid=135731
