It's sad to see a store so jam packed full of games.  They must have utter shit prices, more interested in having overflowing shelves than actually selling stuff and making money.

Him calling it 'his collection' several times says it all.

There is a store in my town like that.  His wife got fed up with his video game collection, so he opened a store.  He refers to the store as his collection... He is a decent guy (don't know if he eBays) but I have noticed lately that his prices are starting to get out of hand... He doesn't know Turbo or Saturn too well, so all his Turbo and Saturn stuff is really overpriced.   I picked up a SMB/Duck Hunt to replace one I looted for the case, and it was priced at $29.99.

I think he makes most of his money fixing DS's and on video game related merchandise...

i just asked if he could provide a list of titles.

*IF* somebody was dumb enough to buy this pretty much blind off ebay, i can easily see some of the pricey games being seperated before inventory is transferred to the buyer.   for half a mil, i would be interested in knowing what i am getting.

For that kind of money, every single item should be tested and their conditions documented and everything verified by a lawyer, accountant and appraiser.

In reality it's probably just some guy offering "a bunch of games".

And too often listings like these are not actually really designed to sell on ebay.  The seller is basically using ebay as a free advertising service to alert others that he is selling a large bundle of stuff.  Any deal that does possible get made will probably be done off ebay and as an in person transaction.

I would be super amazed if he actually does provide galam with a list of what's for sale.

Apparently I have. I don't check this post very often, but someone alerted me to a homebrew gouge occurring so I checked this thread to see if it was being discussed here, as it is.

what a bone head move. tbone head.
