According to the Google translation of the French eBay listing, provided by Kotaku, Kaori30 began his collection in the early 90s, which was before video game collecting had become popular. Unfortunately, Kaori30 had actually sold his collection into the year 2000. Nonetheless, they continued collecting until 2011, stopping due to the “lack of time.” The collector notes that they fell back into the trap of collecting in 2018 when visiting Tokyo, and in so doing, reacquired everything they had previously sold. As translated in the eBay listing, the collector believes that these consoles can not be found anymore, even with the finances needed to acquire these collector items, and that the collection might be a good fit for a museum. Products that are not available anywhere sell for extremely high prices on eBay, as the website is not new to these kinds of listings.

I wonder how much money and time the owner of this game collection spent on his impressively large game collection. I wish I can see his game collection in real life.

Massive collections are really hard to sell, and really lowers the niche of the buyer who doesn’t have a bunch of stuff, and had that amount of disposable income. You’re either selling at a loss, or spend years selling it piece by piece.

That awkward moment you’re so busy collecting games, that you have no time to actually play them

Cool to have but you can't play them all at once. At least you know you will never turn out of playable consoles if one breaks.
