How one person collected more than 5,000 games — and why he's selling them

A person can spend their whole life putting together a collection of video games, and they can sell it off in an instant. That’s the story of one meticulously maintained library of gaming classics that are up for sale on eBay right now.

If you have $164,000, you can buy more than 5,700 games and more than 50 console systems. That’s the sum total of eBay seller Nintendo Twizer’s collection, and you can check out his full list right here. Nintendo Twizer, whose real name is Aaron N. (he wishes to keep his last name private), is an administrative worker for a construction company. He has slowly built up an impressive personal library of Nintendo, Sega, and other gaming releases. His thousands of games include complete software sets for Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, N64, GameCube, Sega 32x, Game Gear, and Sega Master System. That’s an incredible feat.
