    Free bump for an awesome system and collection.

    I hate to say it but a reseller will probably just snatch it up and sell it off piece by piece. Personally I'd hold onto it or sell them individually yourself.

    What have complete collections like this typically gone for in the past? I'm glad it's up to over $1,000 now.

    Surely there are some lurkers that will make things interesting in the closing minutes.

    Ended at $1,890.01 before shipping. Woohoo, I made a $890.01 profit!
    I didn't expect it to go for this high. I saw another auction like this end at around $1,700 in August and his games were all mint.

    Time to go decide on an HDTV

    That's just what happened - but DOL made a nice profit too, so everybody wins!

    Argh, damn ebay/paypal and their fees >:-(

    Final price came down to $1,726 before shipping. I just hope I didn't underestimate the shipping costs.

    Ugh, they took over 18% of your profits? Unfortunate that such is the nature of the ebay/paypal beast. Look on the bright side, you're still well in the black on this one.

    I think you might have.... I know what my complete DC collection boxed felt like. Games alone took up 5 boxes and wasn't light either.

    Nice to see that you pulled a good ending value on your collection. It gives me faith that I could move mine and made a decent return if I ever had to do it.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    Hmm, actually I managed to fit everything into 8 Flat Rate Priority boxes and a regular box for the white DC.
    That would be around $80 for the Flat Rate boxes and I'm guessing $15 for the for the other one.
    I just have to see if the buyer is cool with it.

    At first I put all the games into one very large box, but it must've weighed around 150lbs. I don't think the box could've handled it either.
