5,000 Games and Systems and Prototypes and Arcade Boards FS?

[DreamTR]

Well well....

This is your once in a lifetime chance to own stuff that NO ONE else in the world has, as well as so many games and systems that you will think you are buying a game store!

I am NOT selling everything, keeping about 500 games for my collection, the rest? ONE BUYER. Only way I will do it, or I will just horde it all again I guess= ) If anyone is interested, email jwilson@lfp.com

"some" of the things to consider-
90 Neo Geo home carts
nearly 500 cartridge prototypes
nearly 50 UNRELEASED prototypes for many systems
between 60-100% of the games EVER released for 3do, jaguar, Vectrex, NES, SMS, Genesis, SNES, N64, Dreamcast, XBOX, PS2, GBA, list goes on...

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.

If you have the cash, you know what a collection like this is worth, so email if you think you will not insult me= )

[TokenGamer]

Best of luck to you.

[udisi]

No kidding, 5k is about the most I could spare right now.

[hezeuschrist]

Is it wrong of me to want to buy this and resell on ebay?

[Mayhem]

Much that I could, I'd never be able to get it over here :roll:

[chadtower]

He hasn't given any type of ballpark figure on what he has or of what he wants, nor of where it is. I'm still trying to decide if it's a scam or not.

This is Jason Wilson from Tips and Tricks magazine. He is recognized as having the greatest NES collection on the planet. It is definately not a scam, I only wish I had more than 6 grand in the bank so I could buy it all.

[chadtower]

Or perhaps someone posing as this Jason Wilson? I'm not saying it is but it's entirely possible given the very vague nature of what's been posted.

[TokenGamer]

I doubt buddy is a writer because if he was a writer, he could have written a better description. He writes like he doesn't have arms!
If he is a writer, the theory stands true. A writer can't advertise.

no, this is really him.

[udisi]

No, this is definitly Jason Wilson, His discription works quite well, as those of us who know his collection, know that the amount of stuff in this lot is nearly uncountable.

[chadtower]

Except that given the price, if he limits those only to those who already know what he has, he's not very likely to sell it as a whole.

[tynstar]

I would be the one buyer for the Sega stuff :D

[tynstar]

How much would something like this go for? 5k, 10k, 15k?

[rbudrick]

I would guess more like 20-50k.

So, you don't want to sell off certian sections to different buyers? You'd certainly get more $ that way.

If you decide to do so, I'd be VERY interested in many of your items (mucho $ I would spend, yep). PM me if so.

And a list would be nice. Only you know *every* item you own, and for this kind of cash, it would be essential for one to know.

If a serious buyer came along, would you provide this kind of list?

-Rob

[chadtower]

If I were going to spend $20k on any item I'd fly over and inspect it myself and then be active in its transport as well.

[NESCollector75]

I went through it and at 100 a neo-geo game, 100 a prototype, 200 for the unreleased protos and 3 a game (for the rest) you looking at $85000, I dunno if I am way off on the price, but thats just what It looked like to me when I did a quick count.

And yes its a legit lot

[udisi]

I'm sure if someone made a descent offer, he'd take the time to inventory it all out for you, but I think even he thinks his odds of finding a buyer are slim, and there isn't much need to go in depth yet.

[Atari7800]

Maybe I'm the only one who thinks this, but I think it's absurd to advertise such a high-dollar collection and then not give any in-depth details. Certainly a collection of this supposed calibur must be documented. How about a list???

I e-mailed him some questions... no reply.

[buttasuperb]

DreamTR is damn good at CvS2 online. He kicked my ass a few times.

That's my pointless addition to the thread. @_@

[DreamTR]

[portnoyd]

Dude! DUDE! You can't be serious. You can't be cashing out. I guess you want to not have a mortgage, eh? Or you're testing the waters...

And don't say it was Bubbles. I will kick your ass sideways at CGE if that's the reason. ;)

Ok kids, I doubt ANYONE on this board has the cash to throw down for this. But lets do some fun math...

Jason, I'd expect the NWC carts and Intergalactic Power Punch to be staying with you, right?

500 cart protos at $50 a pop (a fair price, for a proto!) including 50 unreleased games = $25,000.

Complete NES Collection, including a complete Stadium Events = AT LEAST $10,000

That's $35,000 WITH TWO SETS. I'd say Jason will not part with all this for less than $100,000 - let's be honest - I wouldn't, you wouldn't.

Geez. Jason, if you want to make an INANE amount of loot, sell everything individually. Crazy.

And if you're interested in going all in, this guy can't get any more legit. Believe me.

[DreamTR]

Well, I just figure if people really want it, they can try and grab some stuff, I dunno...I really don't do much with my stuff anymore, and I am in a turning point in my life, but who knows.....it's been a rough past couple ofweeks....

[TokenGamer]

so does that last post mean you have made a change in your policy to sell everything to one buyer only?
expect your message box to be jammed over the next year or so.

[DreamTR]

Yes I did make a change to that, but it's not like I am going to "break" up my collection for just one item, has to be worth it for monetary wise to give up something like that.

AS for the responses, anyone that read my instructions on EMAILING me, I replied to them. Anyone who PM'ed me, I did not reply, because I do not respond to PMS. Only email.

Atari 7800, if you emailed me, I suggest you do it again, because I replied to everyone that spoke to me.

Also, for the person that seems to say that because I am a "writer" that my vague descriptions are solicitory because of what I do for a living? Do you realize this is a message board and you have no idea what yo u are talking about? I am not in English class here, people know what I have, if they are interested, they can email me, simple as that...I don't have to elicit every piece of gaming information I own just for your views if you are not a serious buyer. Again, this was only directed towards that person that made that post about it. In any case, if anyone is interested in stuff, you have my email.

[ClubNinja]

I don't respond to PMS either, brother!

I know, I'm rude. Please, carry on like this didn't happen. ;)

[RubbarDucklin]

Let's say someone were to throw down the cash for this. Would it be extra for the armored vehicle and police escorts from your place to theirs? I mean, If i were to buy it i would be on the cargo plane with a m16 and parachutes for allt he boxes if the plane DID go down. I would have an ulsor before the boes left the STATE, jeez.

[Buyatari]

If you have the cash, you know what a collection like this is worth, so email if you think you will not insult me= )

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries !!!

[chadtower]

Dude, you need to chill a bit here. Clearly there are a lot of people who don't know what you have, myself and others in this thread included. Are we supposed to know who you are? Are we supposed to know who you are well enough to have kept track of your video game collection? The way you're approaching this is not only arrogant but seriously limiting your potential pool of buyers. There are plenty of people, like myself, who would have considered dropping serious coin because they have more money than time. Not all of us know who you are and what you have already.

[TokenGamer]

why does everyone have to be somebody? why can't everyone just be the nobodys they are. isn't annonymity part of this virtual online world?

[Achika]

why does everyone have to be somebody? why can't everyone just be the nobodys they are. isn't annonymity part of this virtual online world?

Would you drop $100,000 on someone that you have no idea who they are or if they can back up what they say they have? We don't have a rating system on these boards like eBay does, only in the "Good Traders" thread so annonymity doesn't work when you are talking about this large amount of cash & stuff. You have to back it some how.

[DreamTR]

Well, asking nicely if I can provide details is one thing, but attacking me and saying everything I have is "vague" and attacking what I do for a living is a pretty interesting concept to me. When I am attacked, it is ok, but when I defend myself, no one can take it for some reason. Just to try to have a little more tact when asking, please...iy's not exactly a simple thing to "want" to sell this stuff, because I really don't want to, but I am not having much of a choice here.

[buttasuperb]

Any CPS2 kits?

Or a SSF2x B board?

[chadtower]

I'm not sure I see any attacks in this thread. I see a couple of comments, not all of them positive but certainly nothing attacking. The closest I see to an attack is a comment that the post is poorly written. While not nice, I don't see that as an attack.

[Arcade Antics]

Jason is the real deal. And he's a very nice guy. So here's my two zenny on the subject, not that anyone asked. :)

Jason made a post regarding selling chunks of his collection.

In several of the responses that follow, I see a lot of nitpicking, and I'm not sure why. The collection is serious, so offers should also be serious. As such, if I were in a position to tender an offer to Jason, I would do it privately where additional details can be discussed.
