Gaming Soul For Sale On eBay

What awesome game collection auction doesn't come with a mess of unlabeled cables?

I know this auction is real just from looking at the cables. Now that's a gamer!

Over on eBay right now there is a fairly massive game and game memorabilia collection being sold by user retro_boy_g in the UK. Although these things pop up from time to time, this one is notable for its breadth and attention to detail. So cataloged is the stash of gaming equipment that the seller decided to take a picture of each and every opened and non-opened item individually, something your Internet connection will instantly be aware of shouid you dare click this link.

If only I had the ponytail to go with it.

The seller leaves out the expected group shot of his loot, which makes me think he is some sort of eBay savant for possibly tricking me into thinking this collection is larger then it is. My mind simply can not compute hundreds of individual images for each game. Just how many games are there in total, and more importantly, how would said collection look when compared against an aircraft carrier?

There's not just games in the stash, but figurines, signed posters, arcade cabinets, giant pens, magazines, floor-mats, stools, DVDs and even ashtrays. The seller claims on the blog he's set up for the auction that he's getting rid of everything to save up for a down-payment on a new house. I wish him luck. But please, can you accidently forget something in your shipping and send over that Fatal Fury hat?

Dude, imagine the shipping cost.  Probably more than the auction to go to the U.S. or something.

£4,100.00?

Sounds like that would only cover the shipping.

My eyesight is messed up from all the scrolling, and I'm only about 55-65% through all of the stuff. I haven't even been paying attention to what a lot of the games are.

while the collection is awesome this guy really isn't smart in not splitting it up next to no one except the stupid and rich are gonna purchase this the only reason he's keeping it together is to sell the useless crap he has in there *of which there is alot* if he split it up he could ship stuff and get more buyers and probably make more money.
