This one takes the cake. Shou's getting rid of his ENTIRE collection, and this thing is massive. Thousands of import and US console games going back 20 years, consoles for them all, rare hardware, arcade PCBs and a cab. EVERYTHING is here. He's got the whole thing catalogued here: http://neo-classic.org/shou And...and...hey! Christmas is coming soon! ^^;

Wow. If only I had money for that.

 

[fennec fox]

Now that's what I'm talking about. His PC Engine collection alone is monstrous.

I wonder if he still has GameGO! debt to pay off?

 

[bobbyconover]

Why on earth is this man not auctioning off his stuff separately? I'd bid high and often on at least a couple dozen of those PCBs! Nobody's gonna take the whole haul, I guarantee it!

Edit: GameGO?? Is this that total ass who used to run Videogamedepot?

Edit again: Nice ebay name.

 

[BeOnEdge]

that collection is pretty whack. 70,000???? :lol i mean i guess its awesome but its too unreal to be taken seriously. no ones gonna buy that. thats like trying to auction off a public library to a random person.

 

[TekunoRobby]

This man bought a lot of shit, literally. Did you see the random garbage?

Nah, Shou wrote a couple of articles for GameGO, but he wasn't involved with VGD.

Oh good.. I really didn't like that guy. He had this nasty habit of slamming tons of great games in their accompanying descriptions, which was not only obnoxious but also seems like it'd make for pretty bad business.

 

[LukeSmith]

a major gaming site should buy the collection for their archives.
COME ON KASAVIN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

 

[Brofist]

WOOHOO BUY IT NOW FOR 100,000 LEMME CHECK MY WALLET

 

[shuri]

I wonder why he's selling all that stuff suddenly.

 

[Brofist]

Probably gonna put a down payment on a Ferrari if he gets that kinda money.

 

[cs060mk2]

I'm glad I have sold off most of my consoles and games before it would grow to that size.

You come to a line when you realize maybe you dont need all that shit. I think thats what happened to this guy.

But I also wonder, he spent 20 years on this and suddenly decide to just sell it off.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

^^

That w/ a touch of OCD.

 

[Tortfeasor]

I don't understand how that collection is worth even close to $70,000. Some interesting stuff... I guess it is too japan-focused for my tastes.

I never understood the guys who imported japanese RPG games back in the day. They were unplayable in the sense that you had very little idea as to what was going on. I used to import action games (Mario 64, Wave Race, Castlevania, etc...) as they were very playable without understanding the language.

You'd be surprised at how many jRPGs are very playable w/o understanding the language.

And who said that Shou doesn't understand Japanese?

 

[JackFrost2012]

And who said that Shou doesn't understand Japanese?

Yeah, most people seriously into important Japanese RPGs are at least making inroads towards understanding the language...

 

[Ranger X]

What is those green and blue thingnies?

 

[aku:jiki]

What is those green and blue thingnies?

Arcade PCB's, I think. CPS2, maybe?

Does he honestly expect anyone to buy his collection? Have any other huge collections like this ever sold on eBay in the past? Just curious.

Yeah, I think I remember one or two big collections selling, though I'm sure if they were quite this big or as expensive.
