Every so often an eBay auction seems to crop up with someone selling off their entire collection of video games and game-related paraphernalia for an exorbitant amount. That said, this newest one still looks to be the largest collection I’ve seen sold in recent memory. There’s almost every system represented from Atari to PS2 and multiples of each, not to mention a lot of extremely rare items, representing a collection that took the seller over 30 years to amass. There’s so many items in fact that the seller had to create a separate website just to list it all. So why is he selling this collection after all this time? According to the eBay page, he wants to clear it space in his basement for a game room with 80’s arcade machines. And so the Circle of Game Life continues. I feel an Elton John song coming on.

Either he never bought a PS3 or its the only one hes keeping because everything else is there.
That’s it? Just to make more room? This guy ever heard of Public Storage? I don’t get it why’d you collect so much crap then just sell it off… unless you sell the collection off for more than what you got it for.
I think this guy rocks! I love every gaming system that has been on the market since my first gaming system, an Atari. Darn, I feel old! Look how far technology has come in 20 years! My mother, the eternal pack-rat had held on to all of my old gaming systems, accessories and games for years but about 2 years ago we collaborated together and sold off everything that we had in storage on eBay, of course. Let’s just say that, if I had children, I could have ALMOST put one of them through one full year of an in-state college, well, okay maybe a Junior College, but still…
I have found a particular website that is dedicated to researching items placed on eBay that are misspelled. When performing a search by typing your query, spelled correctly, this site pulls up all items of this category that are misspelled. Since these items are indeed misspelled, searchers are not connected to these particular items unless they think to search for an item with ALL the possibilities of misspelled a word. I have found so many gaming related items through this site that I have not been connected to through eBay and I am hoping to get some of them for less than correctly spelled items since there are so very few searchers connected to these particular items. If there is no one bidding on these items, then I get them for a better deal. How can pass up a bargain like this? Not when you like to bid on so many thing like I do and we all know that gaming products can add up in no time even if you are getting a “bargain”! Now I am on the hunt to find some Nintendo Wii games for cheap! Let the misspelled item search begin! Come on Dance Dance Revolution; come to Momma, for cheap, that is. The site is auctionoops.com if you too are looking for some great deals.
