eBay listing includes 721 SNES titles released in US, Mexico, and Canada; seller willing to take best offer, but has declined all thus far.

Auction site eBay is home to numerous SNES collections, but one is more comprehensive than the rest. eBay user "kaisetsuna" is unloading acollection that includes all 721 SNES titles released in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The asking price is $25,000 or best offer.

 

Forty-nine offers have been made thus far, including 13 today alone. All have been rejected.

The collection--which weighs in at 400 pounds--includes boxes for each game, as well as 85 percent of all manuals. Conditions range from near mint to fair, with each game having been "professionally" cleaned and tested.

Writing on Reddit, the seller said it would be preferable to complete a potential sale outside of eBay so as to avoid the auction site's fees.

I bid one dollar.

That's one hell of a collection, but the price tag is prohibitive. Also, I couldn't imagine parting with a collection that must have taken a lifetime to amass.

Id rather buy a new car.

That is some collection, I would have offered 721$ including shipping but he does not ship it. :P

for a collectors item, it is too cheap.

I would love to have it, but I also enjoy living under a roof and eating food. I'll stick with my current collection of reasonable value and if I ever feel the urge to play a super rare NES game that costs an outrageous amount I'll just emulate it and get and scratch that itch for free.

Crikey, there all boxed aswell!

I already own 221 SNES games thats about 1/3 of the collection. His collection is really nice because its all boxed.

I might offer the guy $16,000 but nothing more. I really hope he accept my offer though but if he does I will have a lot of explaining to do to my wife. lol

While the collection is fairly cheap at that price, he would have a much better chance--and make even more than than his current asking price--at selling the games if he sold them separately, splitting the cost among numerous buyers.

can someone lend me 25:000 dollars
