Very nice!  I was half expecting it to be 2000 sealed NHL 95s :P

Make sure you do a nice big list when it all arrives.

Congrats man.
I can't imaging how much that will run you in postage costs though.

That's a great way to do it, when I buy on ebay it's usually from someone local and I make sure they will let me pick it up.  It will be interesting to hear what hidden treasures you find in there!

Wish I could buy a lot that big without fear that my girlfriend would castrate me.  Nice!

I'm not sure. They're an awful lot of games, but the games I manage to identify are far from rare or valuable. I guess it's a good deal, but I doubt you'll find anything special in it.

You never know. Plus it will be fun looking though all the stuff to find out.

well I just collected it. On foot!

mrs.thx and I

I bought a heavy duty trolley for just this sort of caper from an auction house earlier this year. Most went in the trolley. A lot went in a large holdall over my shoulder, and mrs.thx took a few bits in a rucksack.

We had a pint first to fortify ourselves, and were there and back in under an hour.

Well, so far I have added some titles to my boxed (PAL) Megadrive collection - now standing at 215, *edit - 218 *

I've checked the Atari stuff, a few rarity fives, some "?" and a double header, which was sadly just a 4.

I'll keep you posted.

No, I just need to be sneakier about buying huge amounts of stuff.

"Honey, what happened to our savings account?"

if you're planning on re-ebaying a lot of it, namely the SMS games PM me a list. I'm interested.

Okay. Well, i've listed some of the SMS games. But I'll be sure to PM you the details of the rest instead.  Gotta run. Got a car boot sale to go to!

Got a Satruday off. It's 07:30am Normally I'dhave just started delivering mail now.

I'll get back to you with a list later today.
