Forums - Gaming - The World's Largest Video Game Collection 11k Games Up For Bid Currently @ $750k

Michael Thommason, who is certified as having the world's largest collection of video games, is putting them up for sale. Meaning the buyer isn't just getting a ton of games, they're getting a title as well.

Guinness confirmed Thommason had 10,607 games last year, but he's since picked up a few hundred more, so the winning bidder will be getting over 11,000 video games.

If you're wondering about the condition the games are in, Thommason says "2600+" are "factory shrink-wrapped", while "over 8,300" are complete with box and manual.

It's taken over 25 years to collect all these games, so why sell them now?

I simply have an immediate family and extended family that have needs that need to be addressed. While I do not wish to part with these games, I have responsibilities that I have made to others and this action is how I will help meet them.

Yes, but the million dollar question (Pun intended) is what he's going to buy with the money he gets!

More than 15,000 Ouya's!

At least that would put it on the Chartz.



Alright that's a lot of games.

Good luck to whoever gets them. Wouldn't leave it to Royal Mail for sure.

Puting responsabilities over games? Man, this dude sucks.



When I look at the bidding history, I have serious doubts, that peeps and catch aren't deadbeat bidders.
