One of these days we're gonna have to set up a major Junkyard meet/booze up somewhere, better yet with Dreamcvast gaming involved too, like that 'I have a dreamcast' thing, only with more games, and more alcohol.
Can you imagine if we all met and looked exactly like our avatars? Saying that, FK's is pretty lifelike! Nice find GM - I like to do a bit of random eBay surfing myself, you can find some pretty incredible DC related shit on there sometimes
I've noticed the Euro exchange rate keeps going down making this a bit cheaper: it's gone from about £6,900 to £6.750 at the moment. Come Euro, plummet into the earth for a bit! If the entire European economy can just collapse for just a moment to let this go down to one grand..
gagaman's comment of "unwrapping all those seals and sticking it online just to piss off all those hardcore collectors who don't like to play their games" reminded me of a public television show I used to watch called "Collectin' Stuff with Butz and Whits" (my dad was once on it showcasing his Donald Duck collection, lol). Anyway, they had a segment called "It's Just A Toy" in which they opened super rare items on air and played with them. I remember sealed vintage Star Wars figures being torn open for lightsaber battles. lol

[Image]Well now you can for only 7,499 Euros (that's £7014, or about £13 a game) plus 149 Euros shipping! I spotted this insane buy it now on Ebay from a French shop there. Oh, and the seller isn't taking any offers. There is only one small photo of the massive lot, but the auction also has a list of everything featured in order of their release, phew! Even with this lot not everything is there: I noticed Trigger heart Excelcia's not there, oooh!
Apparently many special edition box sets are not pictured but included, though. Wouldn't it be great to just sit on a floor with this lot like a little kid at Christmas, unwrapping all those seals and sticking it online just to piss off all those hardcore collectors who don't like to play their games! Well ok, there are probably at least 100 games in there that are just anime schoolgirl dating nonsense, but still!
I found some other pretty bizarre auctions on there, including a job lot of 50 rumble packs. What in the hell could you do with 50 rumble packs? Actually, don't answer that.
You know what the real crazy part is, though? If this set of games was the equivalent of a couple quid a game, I'd be very tempted.
"Ever wanted to own over 500 mostly sealed Japanese DC games?"

I know what you mean Gagaman(n) I think I might be tempted too. It's quite a magnificent haul.
Even at £13 each he might be taking a big loss on those if he bought them all at trade prices (50% of retail costs?)back in the day...

Chances are that he didnt though.
At £2 a game, I would be tempted. :) I can see Dreamcast collecting hotting up between us lot in the near future...

So it would be a gathering of Tails the Fox, Brock from Pokemon, a wolf, Caleb's disembodied head and two midgets? Fantastic!
