Crazy things people sell on eBay: 24-console bundle

We've posted about that rare Chrono Trigger Rom listing on eBay earlier this month, and it seems that some of you folks appreciated it, so here are more tales of gaming awesome on eBay.

Here's the the story: 30 year old gamer Kris Kling, is selling his huge 24-system console bundle on eBay. It has stuff from the ancient-yet-classic Atari 2600, all the way to the PSP. The bundle has systems from Sega, Sony, Microsoft, Atari, and Nintendo. It even has the rare Sega Nomad.

What's nice about this auction is that 10 percent of the proceeds are going to the Child's Play Charity that the Penny Arcade guys set up. So bidding just to up the price, as annoying as that is (sorry, bid-spammers are just irritating at times), is a good thing in this case. At the moment of this writing the highest bid is US$ 405.00. You can get to the eBay listing via our "read" link below.

The ultimate video game system collection? Well, we'll leave the "ultimate" part up to you guys, we'll go busy ourselves with bidding.

Why would you sell that? Obviously he has saved them now hes going to let them all go? Most of those you cant even get anymore and probably would be worth a lot more in 5 to 10 years..

That collection is SWEET!!! If those are mint, he should store them for at least 20 more years...!! I'd love to have it, but I don't I don't have space for all that hardware, either...

Unless you have the consoles new in sealed boxes, they depreciate in value over time. Most of the older consoles don't change in value if they're out of the box and used, but they are still pretty worthless. Maybe something like an Atari 2600 is worth something, but stuff like the NES and SNES can be bought for $20, and the games for a couple quarters.

QJ post stuff like this to seperate the nitty gritty things like the latest sales report or even just to give us a break from all the homebrew. It's articles like these that make us chuckle a bit. So stop being such a downer and lighten up.

You actually believe the shine he's shoveling on that auction? --I'm sorry, but I've been a gamer a bit longer than he has. I've gone through 'phases' in my time, where I'd love a console to death; buy everything for it, then eventually sell it (sometimes for my own financial health). However, two things for sure: 1) I would always keep the boxes. 2) I would actually STILL HAVE SOME GAMES left.



Anyone find it odd that he's apparently so wowed by these systems, played certain games to death (read the Jaguar bit), but then lists the system WITHOUT ANY GAMES? --I would think a real gamer would at least have the games they're raving about listed with the item for sale, especially if their intent is to let another gamer "enjoy it" like he has.



Yes, 10% to charity. Big woop. He probably just bought all these off of eBay for like $200, will wind up making a grand, and give $100 to charity. --Who's really winning out?

# No Turbo-Grafix?Guest 2007-02-18 03:12
Where is the Turbo-Grafix, or the Atari Lynx, or the 3DO, or the Jaguar's CD add-on, or the Wonder-Swan, or the CD-i, or the Oddyssey, or the Sega-CD or Sega 32x? Ultimate, I think not, a great start for someone who wants to begin collecting though. Priced nicely for what is in it too.

# Final bid: $3,850Guest 2007-02-19 22:09
Hello - i've been searching through the blogsphere looking for a place that might have generated the over 5,000 hits to my auction, and I think I found it here at qj.



My name is Kris, and I was the guy who sold the 24 system auction on eBay this weekend. I wish I found this site sooner so i could have answered some questions, but i at least wanted to thank everyone for checking out the auction and making it a huge success.



i realize that this isn't a collection that includes every single system ever made (I'll never make those lynx and collecovision people happy lol), but I thought that 24 systems all at once was a pretty awesome sale. people kept telling me I was missing this system or that system, but really this was all the major systems to come out as i was growing up, and they were all I had without buying a bunch of crap on ebay, so that is what i sold.



regardless, there were over 5,000 hits, and the final sale price was $3,850 with $380 going to Child's Play, so i'm happy about that. the winner was in the UK, so I hope he has a NTSC setup and to play these systems on! i realize i could have held onto these forever and maybe made more money, but this is just the time in my life when i thought they should go to somebody who can hook them all up and enjoy them because i just have to focus on some important real-life things right now.



And for those of you wondering, i have many, many, many games. hundreds in fact. all sorts of rare, import, and hard to find games like the original 2-player tengen tetris or the complete mario, zelda, and metroid collections. i just wanted to keep this strictly a console collection, so i reluctantly only included games that originally came with the system. Thanks again qj!
