xzero4812 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Michael Thomasson, theowner of world’s largest video game collection has placed his video collection on sale. Thomasson sites personal family issues for his decision for selling it off. At the time of this writing the current bid is for 9,500. While i really hope this man can overcome whatever issues he is going thru, if i literally had the funds to buy his collection I would just donate it to him. http://www.gamegavel.com/item.cgi?show_item=958029 http://www.gameinformer.com/games/news/m/mediagallery/6834472.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McJacs2 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Getting rid of a collection like that must be rough. Hope it goes for more than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) bummer... the years of collections have to go away at least I wish the money the games made would be a very great help to what he's going through... 1 stupid question though... when the collections were sold... would the Guiness change the name of current holder to the one who won the bid?

xZoneHunter Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Nice! Lets see if it goes for more $$ than the previous big collection that was sold 2 years ago. (wich was 1million USD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastSurvivorD Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 That is a lot of game. I would never sale any of those games (being greedy), but I do hope he overcomes the problems that he is going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Sucks to see him have to sell it all, that is one badass collection. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Mayus Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 The thing about a collection that large is it means nothing if you buy it all at once. The coolness of owning a collection that large is the time and effort put into obtaining it. Just buying it outright is almost like paying for a plat. Sure it is impressive you own it now, but there would be no satisfaction (at least for me) in having that collection now. I hope this guy can make some money for his family though and I feel bad he has to give up his collection 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
