So ... who wants to go halves on this lot with me?!!

[Vroomfunkel]

Oh go on ... you know it's worth it!

Here's the deal .. you pay for it, collect it and store it. Then we sift out the bits we want, and I will auction the remains and handle all that biz and we split the profit. Who's in? :D

What? No-one? Damn!

Oh man, I seriously had my mouth open in a gaping stare while looking at all this stuff! I think some mad profit could be made but will it be worth it all? I really doubt it, too much trouble to go through all that.

I find it funny that he only has 3 NES games throughout all that stuff, while he has 30 SMS games and over 50 import Saturn games. O_O

nice though, I am impressed!

*no, I won't go halves with you, :P*

[PapaStu]

Gawd thats a lot of shit.@_@

Id go halves, and do the storage and all, but im on the wrong side of the pond. Sorry... :P

Funny you say that, because with some organisation amongst eBayers that could be a good buy.
However, he's had his reserve met on the *first day* and I think this is going to get silly.

Still, watch out for my lorry in nine days' time, losers!




Tip Of The Day: don't say 'absolutely' when you mean 'yes'.

[chaoticjelly]

That's pretty amazing!!

I'd love that, but my stuff already fills a space.. perhaps greater than that?!?!?

Awesome.....

That would be my summer sorted!!

ROFL

[captain nintendo]

3 nes units :o Thats it ?!? The rest is junk :P (J/K) LOL LOL LOL
Too bad it is across a big body of water :roll:

[Balloon Fight]

That is an insane collection. The price is going to get WAY WAY out of control though.

[gleavepaul]

Im in 10oo ready here

[gleavepaul]

To be honest thro theres lot of shit there but thats just me

[charitycasegreg]

thats crazy!

[whoisKeel]

:eek 2:

[Slipdeath]

wow that is a lot of shit :eek 2:

[tynstar]

OK old games I understand because you can still play them but old PC's? What the hell good are they? Seems like a lot of old trash to me. But to each thier own.

[gleavepaul]

the amigas and st maybe the acron electron and bbc are the only comps i wud keep

[Vroomfunkel]

Yeah, there is a lot of crap in there. But let's look at it reasonably. Pretty much every item there could be sold for at least £1, if nothing else (with a few minor exceptions). Whammo - £6000 right there.

I think a rough estimate of an average of £3 per item would be reasonable. At that rate, there is a huge profit potential!!

for a huge ball ache LOL

[anagrama]

A coffee-table covered with SMB/DH carts? Sod that, lets build a house out of C64s instead :D

Hmm..."So, Mr Howe, for what purpose do you want a £5000 loan?" :)

I bet any Welsh collectors now know why their car-boots have been dry for the last few years ;) And I think he's being optimistic when he says "will fit in a large van or small truck". If only I were a rich man...

[chaoticjelly]

I could probably fit that lot in my flat at uni... but I'd have to live in the bathroom

[TheSmirk]

@_@ @_@ WOW

[garethamiga]

Check out the price - due to retractions it's gone down to £226!

We're in with a shout yet, Vroomfunkel!

[anagrama]

The reserve was £2990, I think. And looking at the sellers recent feedback, it seems that he's already sold anything of much value, so it's probably going to be 5000 sports games that are included :(

[Vroomfunkel]

Yeah, I see they added a nice warning at the end for bid-retractors.

And the games ain't all sports. For example, the Saturn import has X-Men vs. SF RAM box set at the top, and I spy at least one other Capcom game in there. Still, I'm guessing that it's mostly not great stuff. It would be interesting to see if they would email some clearer photos of the games.

If I had the space - and the money - I would be kinda tempted to drop £3,000 for that lot. But just the thought of all the effort it would take to offload it all individually is somewhat daunting.

[anagrama]

And the current high-bidder is in Portugal :roll:
Seems like more than a short warning is needed to stop 'dreamers and time-wasters' :)

[Vroomfunkel]

Well, you never know ... maybe he was going to drive over from Portugal to pick it all up LOL
