22 Console Collections Complete for a Million Euros

[FoxNtd]

The thread title is so ridiculous, surely it's a joke. Is it? Have a look.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIGGEST-COLLECTION-EVER-22-SEGA-NINTENDO-PC-ENGINE-FULLSETS-FACTORY-SEALED-/300736846867?pt=FR_Jeux_Vid%C3%A9o&hash=item4605501c13#ht_165718wt_1163

I'm speechless. I'll wait to see what you guys have to say about this. It's in France.

[Adol]

I like it.
Would fit nice at home.

[PapaStu]

It's Adol's collection.

He's done this with individual sets a few times before, but never all of them at once.

[FoxNtd]

It's Adol's collection.

He's done this with individual sets a few times before, but never all of them at once.

Oh, I had no idea. I've just never seen so much retro Japanese gaming material in one place before. I wonder if the stores in Japan even have as much inventory as that auction displays. XD

[Adol]

It's Adol's collection.

He's done this with individual sets a few times before, but never all of them at once.

I have to disagree, there isn't all of them at all in this auction.

[delafro]

Man, that's a lot of stuff. Where to put it all?

[FoxNtd]

Wow, I guess it didn't take long for this behemoth of an auction to get popular.

Geek.com published an article about it. (http://www.geek.com/articles/games/1-2-million-ultimate-games-collection-appears-on-ebay-2012077/)

...Which of course I found out about through Slashdot. (http://idle.slashdot.org/story/12/07/09/1618205/12-million-ultimate-games-collection)

And the listing is closed/sold. Someone out there must be really wicked rich to be able to scoop this up, damn. @_@

I found it interesting someone on Slashdot wrote $1.2m / 6900 (estimate) = $173/game. Then again we don't know how much it actually sold for. :)

[MASTERWEEDO]

I highly doubt that it was sold. Just a publicity stunt most likely.

[Bojay1997]

I highly doubt that it was sold. Just a publicity stunt most likely.

Agreed. In the article now on CNN.com, even Andre admits he doesn't know if he will get paid.

[FoxNtd]

I highly doubt that it was sold. Just a publicity stunt most likely.

Without elaborating I've heard word that this is pretty much the truth.

Figures.

[The 1 2 P]

He should have made it so the buyer had to pay to end the auction. Of course, that wouldn't work if he accepted a best offer though. But that would only matter if this auction was really legit.

[Adol]

He should have made it so the buyer had to pay to end the auction. Of course, that wouldn't work if he accepted a best offer though. But that would only matter if this auction was really legit.

The auction was legit and has always been. What are you trying to say?

Besides, i don't think you're anEbay newbie, are you?
You should know you CANNOT ask for immediate payment if the item exceeds $10k (andin my case, on Ebay.fr, it is only 2000€), so there is NO WAY to do what you say.
I can't believe you don't know that ?!
I'd love to secure this listing if i have to relist it, but there is simply NO way.

[The 1 2 P]

The auction was legit and has always been. What are you trying to say?

Everyone on the internet(including this site) seems to think the auction was some kind of fake publicity stunt. Are you trying to tell me you haven't been reading up about what people have been saying about your own auction?


You should know you CANNOT ask for immediate payment if the item exceeds $10k (andin my case, on Ebay.fr, it is only 2000€), so there is NO WAY to do what you say.

I've never had an auction for ten thousand or more so obviously I didn't know that. My auctions have always been from $1-$1000 and the option was always there so I figured it would be there regardless of what you sold. But if thats true you should use their restriction policy so that only certain people can bid. I know that whenever they do those celebrity charity auctions they have screening processes where people are not even allowed to bid until they contact the company overseeing the auctions. You might want to look into doing something similiar the next time you sell items that you can't use immediate payment for.

[Mr.Faxanadu]

Apparently the buyer is from canada. Why would an NTSCer spend 1mil on mostly PAL games? Has to be fake.

[Adol]

I've been reading, but fortunately 99% of commentators have not twisted mind like yours.
Besides, if i want such publicity, since i've my collection for years now,why i'd have not do it earlier?



I've never had an auction for ten thousand or more so obviously I didn't know that.


That's not a reason to not be interested in Ebay rules and affirm such wrong things.



My auctions have always been from $1-$1000 and the option was always there so I figured it would be there regardless of what you sold. But if thats true you should use their restriction policy so that only certain people can bid.


I did it either,and i'm shcoked you don't know either that you cannot restrict more than "-1" feedbackers, and which have been verified by phone.That's it.I can't stop 1 feedbackers to click on it.
But you should have informed yourself before saying such things. That'd have been the normal way.



I know that whenever they do those celebrity charity auctions they have screening processes where people are not even allowed to bid until they contact the company overseeing the auctions. You might want to look into doing something similiar the next time you sell items that you can't use immediate payment for.

Please provide me a name of such company that givesan equivalent audience as Ebay.
Thanks

Mr Faxanadu: My fullsets, except the Euro SMS one, are all NTSC. You didn't read the description, don't you?

[Damaniel]

I haven't been here for a while, but the first time I saw this collection for sale on Kotaku, I knew it was Adol's. If only I had a spare million euro. :)

[The 1 2 P]

I've been reading, but fortunately 99% of commentators have not twisted mind like yours.
Besides, if i want such publicity, since i've my collection for years now,why i'd have not do it earlier?

So 99% of the internet thinks the same thing I do and yet their minds aren't twisted but mine is? That makes no sense. Just looking at the comments in this thread alone you can see that half the people have called it fake.



That's not a reason to not be interested in Ebay rules and affirm such wrong things.

It doesn't concern me at all so I could care less. I use it for my auctions and it works fine.


I did it either,and i'm shcoked you don't know either that you cannot restrict more than "-1" feedbackers, and which have been verified by phone.That's it.I can't stop 1 feedbackers to click on it.
But you should have informed yourself before saying such things. That'd have been the normal way.

If you are really "shocked" that someone doesn't know every single specific ebay rule by memory than you really need to get out more.


Please provide me a name of such company that givesan equivalent audience as Ebay.
Thanks

But why would you need me to tell you this information when you apparently know everything there is to know about ebay's rules and policies. I am shocked that you would ask me such a question. If you really want to find out how all you have to do is start doing some research.

[Adol]

So 99% of the internet thinks the same thing I do and yet their minds aren't twisted but mine is? That makes no sense. Just looking at the comments in this thread alone you can see that half the people have called it fake.


No, they think the opposite of you, precisely. There was no fake publicity stunt here. I have no connection to the winner.
Besides, half of this thread doesn't make even 1% of the comments on the web about it (literally hundreds of thousands), so it's irrelevant.
And you avoid questions as well, so i'll ask again:
" if i want such publicity, since i've my collection for years now,why i'd have not do it earlier?"



It doesn't concern me at all so I could care less. I use it for my auctions and it works fine.


"as long as it doesn't concern me, i don't need to read/know the rules, and i could say blatant lies as much as i want about others"
Wow. Talk about selfishness.



If you are really "shocked" that someone doesn't know every single specific ebay rule by memory than you really need to get out more.


No, i'm shocked you could be so rude.
You clearly don't know a thing about Ebay (and even less about Ebay France), and yet you dare affirm :
"He should have made it so the buyer had to pay to end the auction"
Right, my price was "only" 500 times higher than the authorized limit for immediate payment. Only 500.

If you really do not realize you talked without knowing and just need to apologize about it, you need to get an education.
You just act like a spoiled brat.




But why would you need me to tell you this information when you apparently know everything there is to know about ebay's rules and policies. I am shocked that you would ask me such a question. If you really want to find out how all you have to do is start doing some research.

What is the point with Ebay?
I was asking you what are "those celebrity charity auctions" you were talking about, which companies of such kind would give an equivalent audience as Ebay.
I still wait an answer, but, once again, you try to avoid the subject. I'm "shocked" you wouldn't understand such a simple sentence.

[Bojay1997]

Actually, I think many of us are very familiar with you and given your past behavior, assumed it was all a giant publicity stunt. The only people who approached your "auction" without skepticism were the "press" who loved the idea of a bunch of video games selling for over a million dollars so much that they didn't bother to do any research into you or your auction.

If you're serious about the sale, you can approach Ebay and they will do the same thing an auction house like Christie's or Bonham's will do and set up a screening process for potential bidders. Obviously, you didn't really believe this would sell, so you didn't bother to think about the logistics of running an auction of this type. While they may charge a higher fee for this service, at least you will likely get paid if it does sell which is a very big if.

You are not someone who contributes to this forum or any other in a positive way from what I can tell and the fact that you are popping up in all of the threads about this auction on the six or so forums I am active on is strong proof that you are nothing more than a publicity seeker. You have no right to attack anyone here when you are the one who has engaged in shady behavior and am I right to conclude that you have made no effort to contact the press and tell them the sale was never completed and it was a scam bidder?


No, they think the opposite of you, precisely. There was no fake publicity stunt here. I have no connection to the winner.
Besides, half of this thread doesn't make even 1% of the comments on the web about it (literally hundreds of thousands), so it's irrelevant.

//pokes head in

*calm down dear, it's only an eBay auction*

About as far as the arguing and mud slinging should go... conduct future comments with a little more decorum, or take it to PM please.

[sheath]

I am mostly curious about the reasoning for the price. Just doing a quick cut and paste of all of the games listed in the auction, and not bothering to edit out the spaces or headers for each section, there are something over 7300 games there. I haven't read the entire auction, but I see there is a lot of mint condition and factory sealed games there. But that still adds up to over $130 per game when all is said and done.

This is not ridicule at all, I am seriously interested if this sale goes through. It will mean that there are extremely wealthy people out there that will pay a premium for the luxury of buying a complete collection in one swipe. Online gaming auctions may have their own TV show soon if this is the case.

[Bratwurst]

Yawn, Sylvie wants attention. Here, guy.

Either you're really stupid or you lack basic common sense. The majority of people who have heard about your auction do not have an opinion that is the opposite of mine. They share the same opinion. Rather you were trying to make a fake publicity stunt or not, that is still what the majority of people think this was. As for your question, I have no idea what you've done earlier with your collection. Like everyone else I have only heard of this auction because of the asking price and because it's hit mainstream media sites.


"as long as it doesn't concern me, i don't need to read/know the rules, and i could say blatant lies as much as i want about others"
Wow. Talk about selfishness.

Blatant lies? Selfishness? You are really reaching aren't you. I didn't know you couldn't use immediate payments with auctions over $10,000. Coincidentally, I have no interest in pottery laws so I could care less about those either because it doesn't concern me. But that doesn't make me selfish. One day you will learn the difference....doubtful but maybe.

I think you just like to say that you are "shocked" because you think it sounds cool. It really doesn't. If responding back to someone that post to you means you are being rude I think that you have a long list of people to start calling rude. Again, why would I need to know about ebay France? I don't live in France, I live in the US and as such ebay France has nothing to do with me. And for the record, Paris Hilton is spoiled. I am not, although that would be nice.

I still wait an answer, but, once again, you try to avoid the subject. I'm "shocked" you wouldn't understand such a simple sentence.

I was going to answer but you acted like you knew everything about ebay so I'm not sure why you would come to me for advice. And again, you are super overusing the word "shocked". It's time you expand your vocabulary.


About as far as the arguing and mud slinging should go... conduct future comments with a little more decorum, or take it to PM please.

I'm really not trying to argue with him, I was just responding back and trying to take the blinders off his eyes. According to him I'm the only one on DP and the rest of the internet who thinks his auction was either fake or a publicity stunt. Not one other single person but me, says Adol. Even Ray Charles could have seen thru that one.

[Adol]

Wrong.
I believe it would sell, but not for that price. that's why i let people make offers. But the fact it can get sold, i have no doubt about it.



You are not someone who contributes to this forum or any other in a positive way from what I can tell


You're telling wrong.
I haven't been active those last 2-3 years, but i'm here for a long time, and i was glad to help and or provide info anytime it was asked.
And i've been contributing a lot on other forums (french ones mostly), helping with thousands of scans and infos.



and the fact that you are popping up in all of the threads about this auction on the six or so forums I am active on is strong proof that you are nothing more than a publicity seeker.


Then come the same question nobody dare to answer:
If i was looking for such thing, WHY would i have wait SEVERAL YEARS for it?
I have those collections for YEARS! This makes non-sense.



You have no right to attack anyone here when you are the one who has engaged in shady behavior


Can you be more specific,please?
Besides, I only "attacked" the attacker. That was more like offensive defense.




and am I right to conclude that you have made no effort to contact the press and tell them the sale was never completed and it was a scam bidder?


No you're not.
Every interview i gave to the dozens people who emailed me, i clearly indicates the buyer hasn't paid.
Make your research and you'll see that part is always included.


I am mostly curious about the reasoning for the price. Just doing a quick cut and paste of all of the games listed in the auction, and not bothering to edit out the spaces or headers for each section, there are something over 7300 games there. I haven't read the entire auction, but I see there is a lot of mint condition and factory sealed games there. But that still adds up to over $130 per game when all is said and done.


There is no "reasoning" of such price. It is the exact same thing as when mundocombo put his Tetris for $1 million. Is it worth $1 million? No, but he accepts offers. I did the same.
Some games are worth more than $10k alone, some others are worth $2...there is no point making an average price.
That's why i accepted offers for separate fullsets.


Yawn, Sylvie wants attention. Here, guy.

That'd only be relevant if that was me. But sorry, that's not me.


Either you're really stupid or you lack basic common sense. The majority of people who have heard about your auction do not have an opinion that is the opposite of mine. They share the same opinion. Rather you were trying to make a fake publicity stunt or not, that is still what the majority of people think this was. As for your question, I have no idea what you've done earlier with your collection. Like everyone else I have only heard of this auction because of the asking price and because it's hit mainstream media sites.

I could the same about you: Either you're really stupid, or you're really, really stupid.
Most of the hundreds of thousands of commentators think the sale was done, conghratulated me for it, and have no doubt about my integrity.
The fact i mentionned in any interview i gave that iwasn't being paid yet enforced that. I had no interest telling this, if this wasn't the blatant truth.
But i'm an honest man,and i gave the facts: someone clicked on it (i have his name,address,and phone number), i had nothing to do with him before that "buy it now-type" auction. There is NOTHING fake in that.



Blatant lies? Selfishness? You are really reaching aren't you. I didn't know you couldn't use immediate payments with auctions over $10,000.


Then LEARN about it before making stupid comments.



If responding back to someone that post to you means you are being rude


No, making false accusations is being rude.
If you can't make the difference between making false accusations and giving your opinion, there's nothing we can do for you.



Again, why would I need to know about ebay France?


Because you're commenting an auction that happened on their website.
Then learn their rules before making idiotic comments.



I don't live in France,


I don't live in USA, but i know Ebay USA rules better than you. That's irrelevant.


And for the record, Paris Hilton is spoiled. I am not, although that would be nice.

I never said you wzere spoiled, i said you were acting like one.
"It's time you expand your vocabulary" To be <-> To act like one , not the same thing.



I was going to answer but you acted like you knew everything about ebay

You're trying to reverse roles here, but that doesn't work. YOU are the one who started affirming false things about others (here, me) such as i could ak immediate payment for it. YOU started it. Not me. You just have to grow up and admit that.



And again, you are super overusing the word "shocked". It's time you expand your vocabulary.

When you'll be able to speak (or at least, understand) 5 different languages, and express yourself over 20 sentences in another language forum hosted in another country, maybe you'll be able to give me lectures about vocabulary.



I'm really not trying to argue with him, I was just responding back and trying to take the blinders off his eyes.


Say the attacker. Thank you, Mr Start-with-lies, i was blind and you gave me sight.



According to him I'm the only one on DP and the rest of the internet who thinks his auction was either fake or a publicity stunt.


Wow, you REALLY do have problems for understanding easy sentences.
I said you were in the minority. Under 50%. There was not only 2 persons commenting that thing, but hundreds of thousands. So YES, you're still in the minority, and NO, i never said you're the only one.

[Mayhem]

Just about everyone I know who was aware of the auction considered it a publicity stunt of the highest order, and that's a lot of people, so take that as you will... and the comments here admittedly are tame compared to some of those I've read regarding what Adol should do with his life instead...

[Bratwurst]

That'd only be relevant if that was me. But sorry, that's not me.

Edit: Wait a sec.

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/sylvio-hodos/13/a98/938

Educated in France, lives in Dominican Republic... yeah, I think that's him. Sorry for doubting you.

... okay now I feel creepy for posting that...

[The 1 2 P]

I could the same about you

No you couldn't. I'm not idiotic enough to think that someone who represents the 99% is only representing the 1%. But you do because you really aren't very bright. But atleast this time you responded back to some of the other 99% as opposed to ignoring them like before and acting like they were a part of the 1%.



No, making false accusations is being rude.
If you can't make the difference between making false accusations and giving your opinion, there's nothing we can do for you.

Well you can't tell the difference between 1% and 99% so theres really nothing we can do for you. We tried to help but you are a lost cause.



I don't live in USA, but i know Ebay USA rules better than you. That's irrelevant.

Apparently you don't know the rules or you wouldn't be begging me to tell you about the services available for screening processes on ebay for high end auctions. So no, you don't know anything better than me besides for making fake auctions.



You're trying to reverse roles here, but that doesn't work. YOU are the one who started affirming false things about others (here, me) such as i could ak immediate payment for it. YOU started it. Not me. You just have to grow up and admit that.

If I reversed roles that would make me an idiot like you an there is zero chance of that happening. And suggesting you use immediate payment isn't "affirming false things" because you can use that option. It's not like you aren't allowed but for higher amounts where you can't use it there are still other options to get the job done in another way. But you would know all of this if you even had a clue about what you were talking about. Which leads me to.....


When you'll be able to speak (or at least, understand) 5 different languages, and express yourself over 20 sentences in another language forum hosted in another country, maybe you'll be able to give me lectures about vocabulary.

Well English is obviously NOT one of the languages you speak. Maybe Engrish but thats about as far as you get. You might as well be speaking in your native French since nobody understands anything you are trying to say.



Say the attacker. Thank you, Mr Start-with-lies, i was blind and you gave me sight.

Thats cute. Did you get it off of comebacklinesinengrish.com?



Wow, you REALLY do have problems for understanding easy sentences.
I said you were in the minority. Under 50%. There was not only 2 persons commenting that thing, but hundreds of thousands. So YES, you're still in the minority, and NO, i never said you're the only one.

What you actually said was:


I've been reading, but fortunately 99% of commentators have not twisted mind like yours.

So even though 99% of the commentators have the same opinion as me(that your auction is a fake publicity stunt) only 1% of them(that would be me) has a twisted mind? I was being nice before but you really are a dumbass. And also, there are way more than "only 2 persons" saying negative things about you and your fake auction. Now go back and try to think of new ways to embarrass yourself while trying to PR spend all of that into "noboties...er, no peoples fink like you dus cus they all fink good thing bout me and me auctions and you have twisted mines for thinking what dey all fink....er, i means finking what u fink"

LOL, lot of hate going on. ;-) I don't think your goal is to understand each other and reach a truth. Push reset and try to. Unless that is your fun. ;-)

He might do it to show-off his collection... so what?

He still might be ready to sell it at the right price. I am sure he can answer and I think that is what he said.

My collection is not for sale, but I guess I would at least listen if someone was willing to offer crazy money. But I don't usually sell much of my stuff, I do not collect with that goal in mind. Not that much people know what I really have, but even then sometime I get contacted for some random items some collectors know I own.

Now, is he wanting to sell?

I guess Adol can answer all those one aside from personal issues. ;-) So Adol, is your intention was to show off your collection? Do you want to keep your intention like a secret warp zone? :D Do you badly want to sell or are you more willing to sale only if you get a good price or not that interested to sell, but listening just in case?

Aside from money involved, at the base, we do it as an hobby... and to have some fun I guess. Well everything in life should probably be that way.

Anyway that is not Adol's full collection as he used (at least back then) to acquire a lot of NTSC NES games (including lot of new/sealed) too AFAIK and that auction does not mention that. Do you still own a lot of those Adol?

These popular, high $ auctions too, there is always some people fake bidding/winning them. Of course it is more spectacular if it get sold at high prices. ;-)

I wished to start and complete FDS and Virtual Boy collection at some point too (well most of Nintendo consoles with cartridge to be honest). Price of some rare titles have probably gone up too much for me that saw them at lower price back then. ;-) I can see someone offering money for an almost full collection anyway, it happen sometime, but it still is a lot of money.

Maybe Adol just want to start over... the fun of collecting took over the original subject of his collection, ha ha ha. ;-)
