1 Million dreams

I often brag about my collection of games. I have a Master System II, a Saturn, a Dreamcast, a Playstation 2, a WII. I may have around 150 games in total. That is absolutely nothing, since a couple of days ago an unbelievable collection went to the highest bidder on eBay for 999.999,99 USD.
Yes, 1 Million dollar. Let's try and make an evaluation of this load of fun.
The collection has ALL games ever made for Sega systems, ALL for Nintendo consoles until Gamecube, and ALL Nec games and consoles. That sums up to a stunning 7000 games, and 22 consoles. Most of them are factory sealed. Let's focus on the games alone. If you paid 1 Million dollar for 7000 games that would mean you bought each of them for 143$, which can be considered a bit high, but considering that a sealed copy of some of those games is worth even 3000$ for collectionists, the 1 Million seems just an investment. Reason would suggest we'll see most of these games re-sold in hours. The buyer could just throw the consoles away and he would get much richer anyway.

The collection is, on a pure gaming standpoint, a one of a kind opportunity. There are rare games, but the number of cartridges and disks is too high for them to be played. Last year the same collection sold for about 1.200.000 USD. That means a loss, which becomes explicable if we think that nobody can ever play 7000 games. That's just too much, if we played 10 year for 8 hours a day it would mean 4 hours a game. You don't even START playing Final Fantasy 4 or Shen Mue in 4 hours. Let alone enjoying them. Selling game per game is the only way these games can live on, the only way this collection has any meaning other than a financial asset which price is going up and down.

So, please start splitting this package, dear buyer. It will be tough to sell all games, but if every game is sold at 1000$ (1/3 of what we said before), you'll just need to sell 1000 of them. The rest you can keep it for yourself, or you can open a museum and raise money with it, letting children play with 'New Zealand Story', 'Toshinden' or 'Wonder Boy' . Don't waste this big electronic inheritance.
