Guy Sells His Vast Games Collection On Ebay, Becomes A Millionaire

Guy Sells His Vast Games Collection On Ebay, Becomes A Millionaire

And here you were thinking that your games collection was something special – think again, because one guy has just made himself a one million bucks by selling his entire games library.

Mind you, this is not some half-baked collection dating back to PSone. No, this is the real deal: it includes games for N64, SEGA Mega Drive, Master System, Saturn, Dreamcast, Super Famicom and more, alongside a host of PC games.

Most of them were sealed, too. In fact the collection was so vast that shipping costs are upwards €1,000.

The collection was sold to a private bidder on Ebay last night. Check it out through here, you’ll be stunned.

As for the former owner, in response to to one user’s question, he says he hopes he won’t regret “selling out”.

    not that much really, you would be surprised how much rarer older games can fetch!
    cant remember how much exactly but i remember watching a episode of xplay a while ago which featured a gold copy of super mario 64 which was made for a nintendo competition and only 24 i think it was were ever made!
    quite scary how much old games can fetch these days.
    one thing that i really hate about ebay though its so inconsistent!
    i sold my iphone 4 last week for 500 bucks!
    2 years old and quite a few scratches on it, and dont forget a BRAND NEW iphone 4S you can get for 580!
    so why the %$#@ would you pay 500 bucks for a 2 year old damaged product when you can spend 80 more and get a better and brand new product!?
    some things are a absolute rip off on ebay!
    others, well, im struggling to sell my asus N55 for 900 bucks!
    a third of what i paid for it only 6 months ago!
    WTF!?
    people will pay 500 for a phone worth around 400, but wont pay 900 for a laptop worth closer to at least 1.5K!
    how does that work!?
