Holy fuck...he must be obessessed with the game. Maybe he wants to buy as many copies as he can. Maybe he plays the shit out of it...till it melts. LOL

I think he's just investing thinking that they'll go much higher one day and resell them for a massive profit.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone LOL
Maybe he has a sinsiter plot like Dr. Evil or Dr. Claw, only his plan for world domination involves hundreds of Tengen Tetris's.

I remember a guy back in the day stocking up on NES controllers! His last dozen or so auctions were for NES controller LOTS O_O Not just the ocaisonal one or two. I'm guessing he was trying to construct something with them (perhaps an NES Christmas tree ??? :) )

Very bizarre. Can't see why anyone would need that many.

I see nothing wrong. Well I mean I have 7 copies of Marvel vs Capcom 2 for PS2 and 1 for Xbox only because I know it will never get reprinted because the Marvel name is so expensive now. And they go for $50 on ebay now.
And of course I still look for more copies.
Hmmm. If you were rich would you buy all the copies of one game to corner the market? And what game would it be?

He's obviously trying to influence the price on eBay - buy up all the copies he can and then sell them later on. Just like companies omn the stock market that buy back their own stock. This guy is just betting that the market for this NES game will get hotter and hotter. Even if demand stays the same, this guy can re-sell them later on at a huge profit.

I was lucky to get a complete for roughly $50 a few months back.

Genny Championship Edition Madden rental exclusive, and all the SNES/N64/GBA demos I could find

I would buy up all the copies of Sneak'n Peek and Where's Waldo, then leave tens of thousands of copies everywhere in places where everyone could find them, just to be ironic.

It's likely. I have 8 boxes looking for homes.
Also, I made a Nintendo controller Christmas tree 2 years. Very fitting for my house. Never took pictures though, just too busy I guess.

What store is that? THE TETRIS HALL OF FAME?
If he had a store I'm sure he would buy more than just Tetris to resell. Many other items have more potential for reselling than Tengen Tetris.

I've been trying to corner the market and influence the price on ET for years. Funny thing no matter how many I buy, the price never goes up. I wonder why?
