Collector logic make seem like craziness, but there totally is logic to having a separate shelf for Japanese and American games.

First, I'm super impressed by that retro collection. That's one of the best I've seen.

 

Second, I'm even more impressed in David asking for help in decluttering. That's the right way to do it.

It did during WAN last night briefly as well.

Need to add a new rule that if you are linking to a website for a video auction or event, they need to be warned and prepared for the traffic.

When you emphasize "HIS" on the video title, the first thing comes to my mind is Radeon line up GPUs made exclusively by on-board manufacture partner "HIS", or even goes as old as ATI branding of the  GPU

Kinda funny looking at certain auctions. Like how a PS4 pro with 4 controllers and games has a lower price than a PS1 with 2 controllers and a multi tap.

Collecting isn't just accumulating a bunch of stuff, it's curating a set of things you enjoy. What good is it to have a huge collection if you can't enjoy any of it?

David you're right. Dualshock 4? I need more!

 

It's more comfortable to use it in my Mister than a Dualsense.

I'm really concerned that David has a legit hoarding disorder, the pain i could see on his face at times

Lot 639, 642, 648, 650 are pirated games, how are your lawyers not telling you to pull that down ASAP?

I don't remember David setting the rules for others to follow.  The auction is not Linus.

Same as whenever they have a video about piracy or jail breaking or anything else, they can cover it but we can't talk about it.

From what I can tell, it looks like the auction brought in over $22k. Not sure how that all shakes out compared to market value, but hope David can put it to good use.

1 part auctioning to 2 parts intervention.

[Mayrink]

Dang fair play to David. I know how hard is to do this. Just moved to a new country and saw a lot of things going away. 

Well done to everyone who contributed.

Man, this video was so stressful for me to watch lol. It's not even my stuff, but it was painful to watch.

It can be extremely hard to part with things like this, I fully understand the hesitation of selling them. Almost everything I’ve regretted getting rid of throughout my life has been video game or computer-related.

Also, the insistence that ‘emulation has gotten so good’, but it’s an extremely grey area legally and being able to get ROMs/images either requires special hardware/software or hoping your repository of choice hasn’t been shut-down; Emulation just isn’t worth the hassle and dubiousness when you have original working hardware available, IMO.

This holds true for me as well.

But it is worth remembering that at some point you don't own a collection - the collection owns you. And I feel that point has been long breached when you can no longer fully arrange it in a way in your living room that is presentable.
