The collection has to be at least worth $20,000-$30,000, even more if there are rare games. If hes insured hed probably get $40,000-$50,000 in return, and hell be able to recoup. If not, hes fucked.


it's not so much the money, he can get that. it's finding the rare copy's.

I feel bad for him but at the same time it matters more that he's alive. Things can be replaced, people can't.

Easy to replace. I have countless small boxes around my house that have 30+ systems and 8000+ games on them.


That's fine if you just want to play the games, but for people like that guy it's about more than just having the games there to play. An actual physical collection, to someone like that, can't be replaced by your "small boxes".

Not nuclear. It survived a pretty intense regular bombing with only the screen needing replacement. (Of course, it looked pretty messed up - but functionally, it still worked.)

That is precisely why I decided "meh" on collecting. It's either a lot of work/money or it's gone and you're sad you wasted your time.

That sucks. Hope he has it insured somehow but some of that stuff I imagine is not going to be easy to replace.

He's definitely going into emulation if none of that was insured.

Are you sure it wasn't a Samsung Note 7 that the owner didn't return?

Remembering everything he has would make getting everything back that way STILL a pain in the ass..
