Massive 2,200+ Video Game Console Collection on eBay for Almost $1 Million

A French eBayer is selling his personal collection of over 2,200 video game consoles for the almost too-good-to-be-true price of €984,000 (basically the same in US dollars with current conversion rates). That comes out to about $450 per console. Some of them probably aren’t worth that. And others are probably worth much more than that. That’s just the way averages work.

You can check out the eBay listing for a full list of all the consoles included, including color variations and special editions of various gaming systems. Wow, could you imagine owning all those consoles? I’d never leave the house! I mean, I already don’t ever leave the house, but then I definitely wouldn’t.

Unfortunately, the listing doesn’t include any games unless they were packaged with the consoles, so expect to spend another cool million on actually being able to play these consoles instead of just admiring them on the shelf. Thank God we’re rich, right? Or about to be rich anyways. Now, put these pantyhose over your head and let me do the talking.

Mini LEGO Arcade Machines: Tiny Things Are Awesome

Among my many geeky pursuits, two of my favorites are classic arcade games and LEGO. So when I stumbled onto this collection of custom LEGO arcade machines, I had to bust open the piggy bank (aka my PayPal account) – since that’s where I save my spare change to buy stuff that I don’t NEED but that I really WANT.

These minifig-scale arcade machines come from eBay seller The Brick Show Shop, who has lots of awesome custom LEGO sets in their shop. In order to avoid licensing issues, these machines feature names like “Ms. Dot Man,” “Froggy,” and “Astrobricks,” but they’re still super cool, and make me want to build out a complete arcade filled with mini cabinets. There are standard upright cabinets, as well as unique machines like a DDR-inspired dance game, sit-down racing games, and a ride-on game called “Raptor Rider.”

They’ve also got a skee ball machine, vending machines, and a claw machine in the collection, and I’m sure it’s impossible to to grab any of the studs with the claw in this one too.

Prices for the LEGO arcade machines range from about $7.99 up to $14.99, so you can build out an entire arcade for your minifigs for much less than even a single real arcade machine. You can find them all over on The Brick Show Shop’s eBay store. While you’re roaming the virtual aisles, you can also find a sweet LEGO model of a Nintendo Switch.
