not really sure, the stores are only leased in a mall or so or am i wrong? so all you get is the lease of three stores (you obviously own what's in them), three used cars, the game collection and two properties with no clue which worth (the one i saw is on the water but doesn't seem very modern/expensive, pool and other stuff is just part of the whole complex) and the risk to go in a business which will have hard times in the future even if the stores are still very successful atm? sry if i got it wrong or missed something^^ |
Well, 'cheap' wasn't the best word for it maybe.
And I assumed he wouldn't own crap, and the houses are furnished at least. Here where I live, a nice house on the waterfront with office (which implies it's sizeable) alone, could go for well into the million Euro. Don't know what his looks like though. A good condo, depending on location, would be pretty pricey too.
Also you could be right about the stores, if they're leased, it would indeed be a lot cheaper.
As a side note, I'm getting less and less impressed the more I read. 
All my consoles are boxed too, so a boxed Famicom isn't very impressive. I have rarer boxed consoles than that. Also, me and my cousin had a StarFox Super Weekend cartridge too, and a Donkey Kong Country one also. He sold them both for a couple hundred Euro one or two years ago. I was fine with it. Sure these things are rare, but not unattainable. And our PAL ones were rarer than his NTSC one! Still need to get back our M82 demo unit (NES demo for stores) which was 'misplaced'... That thing was awesome.
Obviously he has more, since he has a thousand games in the stores, but still.
We weren't avid collectors by the way, we were lucky enough that a friend of the family worked at Nintendo Benelux (Netherlands).
