I’m auctioning HIS collection - Tech Hoarders 2

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.

So funny the auction site got hugged to death. 

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

My System: Ryzen 7800X3D // Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX // 32GB 6000MHz DDR5 Silicon Power Zenith CL30 // Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT OC with mod heatsink on the metal plate  // Phanteks P300A  // Gigabyte Aorus GEN4 7300 PCIE 4.0 NVME // Kingston NV2 Gen4 PCIE 4.0 NVME // 

Seasonic Focus GX-850 Fully Modular // Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 Black V3 // Phanteks M25 140mm // Display: Bezel 32MD845 V2 QHD // Keychron K8 Pro (Mod: Gateron black box ink; Tape mode on PCB and Keycaps) // Razer Cobra Wired Mouse // Audio Technica M50X Headphone // Sennheiser HD 650 // Genius SP-HF180 USB Speaker //

 

And Laptop Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45 for mobility

Phone:

iPhone 11 (with battery replaced instead of buying new phone for long term and not submitting (fully) to Apple Lord

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? 

 

(Ignore my storage room full of old computer junk and "I'm gonna"s.) 

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

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

 

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

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.

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.

My Current Setup:

AMD Ryzen 5900X

Kingston HyperX Fury 3200mhz 2x16GB

MSI B450 Gaming Plus

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB

WD 5400RPM 2TB

EVGA G3 750W

Corsair Carbide 300R

Arctic Fans 140mm x4 120mm x 1

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.
