I'm not sure what he's trying to accomplish, or what he plans to do after some weirdo buys it.

3,5 million is a good starting point to start fresh if you ask me. Maybe he already has a new business idea and he needs the money to get it going.

This also includes his house, his car, his dog. You're effectively buying someone's life on ebay minus friends and familiy.

i'd love to have the american dream! now if i only had 3.5M dollars...

3.5million for all that is pretty cheap. Not that I have it...

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^^

Damn he is 29 and makes me look like shit (not his looks just what he has done).... Ah well fuck it I just want to live.

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).

Well, this would be completely awesome if you had no life, or a rather sucky one, and could just assume his. However, you need 3.5m for that and if you have 3.5m to spend on this, you've already got a pretty damn fine life going and I doubt there would be added value in getting his.

Now watch some Arabian oil tycoon buy this for his son.

$3.5m sounds like a decent starting price for the business and the company vehicles. However, I'd think its worth a bit more than that so long as records prove it is a stable and profitable company. Interesting stuff and probably his way of retiring early.
