Do you get tired of the hunt and just want to get all the games in one shot? Well, here's your chance:

*HELL NO*!
IMO, if you take the thrill of the hunt, the excitement & anticipation, and all of the senses of satisfaction, accomplishment, achievement, and - YES, god damnit...even victory away from collecting; what's left would resemble *work* more than it would resemble anything fun and/or enjoyable
I dunno, but he talks about how he's "selling his nostalgia & hard earned collection of his youth"
AND
he then goes on to state that "he's acquired everything here over the last 5 years" = something sounds 'off' here to me
My own gut-feeling & suspicion here aside, that would mean he's been buying 1,000+ games every year...for 5 consecutive years
As someone who enjoys actually playing my games a helluva lot more than I enjoy buying, selling, trading, and staring at games that I'll never play on screens all day long...getting so many games so fast (even as a gift) just wouldn't be "fun" to me.
I know and I'm good friends w/ several folks who actually have (and are willing & able to spend) this kind of money on games, and - I wouldn't (and I'm not going to) do any of them dis-service of directing them to this sale.
Besides...who the fuck/what kind of person buys 1,000+ games a year (for *ONLY* 5 years)...just to turn around and sell ALL of them?
No thanks...
