Huge Console Auction Debuts

Posted by michael on from the comic-book-guy dept.

neura writes "In quite possibly the largest console auction ever, someone is selling just about every development kit and production game console ever made in Japan. They also have listed tons (almost literally) of software to go along with the systems. Anybody ever seen the original Super Famicom development system? The pictures alone are worth taking a gander. :)"

    You know, on a side note, after waiting about ten minutes for all the images to load, and only 85 out of the 300 or so have, I have come to the conclusion that if the seller were to list each item separately, he would probably double or triple his returns, regardless of the increased administration costs involved in doing so. This is because buyers are more likely to spend, say, $300 on some item, than $100,000 on a million billion things.

    But that's just me. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh well.

    Don't you get the impression that the person listing the auction is not a naitive english speaker? All of the hardware is Japanese and the seller is located in Hong Kong. A few spelling errors doesn't change what you get.

    Look at his selling history and active auctions. He's been selling this stuff on eBay for over FOUR YEARS. He has about 100 seperate items on sale right now. He is probably bored as hell of it. This auction was a great idea, even if no one bids the $100,000 dollars. It has generated HUGE amounts of publicity for him(it had 20,000 hits before it hit /.) If no one bids on it, he'll have no problem selling the items seperately. And maybe, just maybe, there's a video game obsessed nut rich enough to bid the 100k.

    If you honestly believe this you should buy the set, split it up, and relist it.
