anyone watching this massive ebay lot? what do you think about his asking price, i feel like it might be really high but i have no idea what a lot of the games listed go for. he's not selling complete sets or anything and a lot of stuff sounds like it's untested and not complete, plus low feedback...good luck buddy.

There's this mega lot on Game Gavel right now.

wow, i wonder what made him want to sell

I'm not sure he's aware of what $35 grand is worth in videogames.

he's really not

There isn't much quality in there. He is insane to think he'll get anywhere remotely close to that.

I don't know ... Item 88 Silent Service....

I'm sure he's aware that it is not worth that much but wants to see how much he can get out of the plastic gold rush that is retro games.

Speaking of ebay auctions and collections here's where Adol's/Andre's collection ended up:

Hey...I could just post a picture of my unorganized game room. Think I'd get more than him?

Nice, we are members of Strong Museum and their eGame Revolution area is full of games to play as well as games on display.  I think the International Center for the History of Electronic Games (http://www.icheg.org) is doing great work preserving all things video game related.  I would guess some will be dissapointed to learn that this collection (or any for that matter) ended up in a museum rather than in the hands of a collector but I am ok with it as long as museums like this don't start popping up in every city.

I agree there isn't a lot of gems in this lot if any. I didn't read game for game what's in the lot but from what I could see nothing fancy...

Mortal Kombat 3 (RARE)... Really?
Mappy Land (RARE) ....

Not my idea of rare lol

Just saw this lot come across my FB newsfeed.

Loose?
Pass.

*YAWN* Not impressed. "Complete" sets, yet he admits that he excludes the most expensive games due to an arbitrary decision on what he considers "Complete". Certainly not worth $168,000.
Too many qualifications on his "sets" immediately disqualify it for me as well. "Main" Zelda set... STOP QUALIFYING THINGS AFTER HYPING IT UP.

I'm still waiting on one of our members to completely complete a system set.

When was the last time that happened?
Mezmoron with PS2?
Before that....?

Most recently, Crabmaster2000 for Licensed NES. Unlicensed technically will never be completed with the large number of homebrews being released. Before that, GamerNick with 32X.

Was nick completely complete?
I forgot that one!

eventually i'll have the N64 set, but it depends on what you count as "complete complete", I'm not grabbing any player's choice or other variants, except some special editions.

What was this thread originall about?

Oh yeah!
Another overpriced auction for complete*^'" sets

* - excluding many boxes
^ - excluding many manuals
' - missing multiple titles
" - some other addendum for potentially glaring omissions.

@Boshamp: That is NintendoTwizer's collection.

He frequents NintendoAge but has been known to show up on Racketboy:

Also didn't douglie007 complete the SMS USA set?

Yes he did

and Yes IZ - Its complete just need to upgrade some games... I am currently I think 13 away from a complete Saturn Set and 48 or so away from a Complete Licensed NES Set.

Also to touch on the actual topic I would purchase it if I had a loan..great start of stuff to open my store with and fill my collection ;-)

Wow...complete PS2?! That's a hefty set...weren't there approximately 1300 titles released?

Still skeptical of this. Pics or it didn't happen Mezmoron!

I was under the impression it was more like 1800

Even more incredible...granted 500 of them are likely EA Sports releases.

Yes somewhere between 1800 and 1900 games.
AFAIK that number does not include demos, GH or Special Editions. I could be wrong on the later 2 but i doubt it.

According to this article it's over 1850:

http://www.gamesradar.com/wanna-see-every-playstation-2-game-ever-released-in-the-us/

Article dated 2011 last game came out in 2013 i believe

If our database is anything to go by, 1829 "North American" PS2 releases that are set to "Original Release".

That, of course, means that anything labeled as "Canada" or "United States" is excluded (EDIT: Apparently we have 6 items listed as "United States". 1 "ORIGINAL RELEASE", which would make 1830. FIXING), as is anything not marked as "Original Release". There could, of course, be items marked as "Original Release" that inflate that number too, like Cheat Discs and other non-video game items.

September 27, 2013 Pro Evoloution Soccer 2014 was released and was the final title for the PS2.

That article's wrong. Always has been.
FIFA 14 was released September 27th. Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 never got released in the US, but it was released in November in Europe and Latin America.

EDIT: Wait, I don't think that even got a proper US release either... Here's the image I could find, and it's in Spanish only indicating a Latin America/South America release:

[img width=700 height=1010]http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTEyNlg3ODA=/z/Cv8AAOSwHBFTxHhv/$_57.JPG[/img]

I wondered about that when I read it because I remember seeing FIFA 14 in a Wal-Mart a little while back and thinking to myself: "They are still releasing PS2 games?"

Game and manual in Spanish, and I can't find a regular release of FIFA 14 for US market. Technically, I think it's the last "North American" game, but not the last US title. Not sure who that belongs to... Maybe FIFA 13?
