@John Vogelaar (post right above this)

now, why on earth did you do that?. FFS.

anyway, look up my website if anyone is interested in buying an extensive Amiga Collection (somewhere between 1400-1800 titles).

I really don't wanna sell it but no room really and the collection gets old "faster" when i move. (hopefully i'll do the last house change this year).

Just by putting information that I have read about him at various places on the web I can say with relative certainty that I know which flea market he works at. I would prefer to respect his privacy as he is an acquaintance, and doubt he would like everybody to know, but lets just say it is a rather large flea market in Edmonton, Ab Canada. I have worked at Nexwave videogames(we focus on older games and rarities) and have dealt with him a couple times.

Do we know which flea market this hero works at? i might have bought some stuff from him. Also I'd like to congratulate him next time I visit the flea market.

That's the biggest collection I've ever seen. Amazing work.

I collect consoles and games myself. With consoles, I try to acquire them all, basically, but I'm not willing to spend huge amounts of money. With games, I mostly get what I like or find interesting. I have a quite low game-to-console ratio… but that's the way I like it. I don't need NHL '97 to make my collection complete, I much rather look at a shelf full of stuff I really like.

Still, this guy has an awesome, awesome collection.

For real folks, you only live once. If the guy's dream is to own every video game in the world let the dude do his thing. He has a wife, a kid, lives a normal life like most of the people making fun of him probably don't. As for the collection that is simply amazing. I just kind of started collecting video games to bring back some nostalgia from what I played when I was younger and what I missed out on that was before my time. And by the way to all the haters, I've seen video game collections less than 1/4th that size sell for like five thousand dollars. I honestly can't even imagine what a collection like that would sell for, but it's a hella lot son.

@Aulbath - from my experience, I didn't collect Amiga or C64 games because I considered them computer games; I started with SNES and expanded to include all console formats. I know it's partly semantics, but at least it puts some sort of limit on my ambitions.
Though I did recently buckle and buy an Amiga and some games! Hey, it's a good machine!

One thought: if all games went digital download only, there'd finally be a finite number of games for collectors to collect. Wonder what that number will end up being

Wow, an interview from 2006 with people still posting? Yeah, I am keeping this alive. I actually found out about this from digital press (digitpress.com) and some of the information about this is very true.

I mean, really, I am 26 and have been collecting for awhile and have about 1200 games. I see people from high school and refuse to tell them where I live. I keep all my games in the basement and pretty much anybody that comes to my house knows that the basement is off limits, my roommates know that nobody goes into the basement.

Yes, it would be nice to show people the collection and be proud, but lets face it, getting robbed is not exactly something any collector wants to happen. Nobody wants to get cleaned dry from one shotty sale or accidently saying too much to somebody during an interview.

My collection is not near as big as his, but with some of the stuff I have, I could easily sell all my games off and use that money to pay for my new car I bought and college, but I would rather play games.

Nes also mentioned something that many people do not realize, and that is that once you hit a certain point, sure you play games, but you will never play all of your games. I have a small collection of 1200 games and there is no possible way I can play them all.

I don't blame the guy for being quiet about his collectiom, I would be quiet about mine too, which I am. All it takes is one random person finding out where he lives, and that is that.
