What a fool. I have a mint in collectable comics that my gf better not even think of messing with. I'm a man, dammit. I pay the rent, so I have the right to put a poster of the 150 original pokemon over the bed we make love. I have the right to take up half...nay, all of the closet space for my museum of games of yore. Grow some damn stones. If I had a controlling gf, soon to be wife, that would have me sell everything that made me what I am today, I would cut her off quicker than gangrene. On a side note, the girl looks sort of like Morgan Webb.

But all that gear is worth well more that what it's being sold for. I sold one comic at a convention for $700 w/o tax. I'm sure he can sell some of that gaming history for alot more.

I would value my complete TG16 collection at around $1500, and my 3DO collection. I really don't know what it's worth because no one probably wants that stuff. :lol:

Still has 9 days to go, it will go for more. Allthough yes I don't think he will get the money he should get from the auction.

I hope for this guys sake he is selling his stuff because he and his wife to be need the money and that she is not making him. He obviously loves gaming, so he should keep his collection. I'm sure the guy has a good reason though. I collect DVD's and Military Collectibles, weapons, toys, books, etc., and I'm a big sports fan. My wife would NEVER ask me to get rid of my stuff unless I wanted to. She knew what she was getting when she married me :) I'm one of the lucky ones I suppose. My question is this .... What does this dude do for a living?? That's a whole lot of money there.

Being pretty is temporary because everyone gets old and fat, You need a smart girl because dumb is forever. This is not even about games or paying attn to your girl, this is about who in this relationship has the power. Once this chick establishes that she has the power the challenge will be over and she will get tired of the guy.

The fact of the matter is, in a relationship there is only the illusion of power. In a relationship, both the man and the woman (or man-man, woman-woman) must work together as a single unit to find a compromise of something they both want. A relationship should never have to be about power...it's more about trust than anything. I think of it like this: If I were to turn into a zombie, I need a girl that I can trust to blow my head off instead of getting all whiny and cry.

If this woman is saying she will only marry him if he sells his collection then he should be aware that she does not have unconditional love for him and he should not marry her. If he spends more money than he has on video games then she has a right to ask him to stop buying stuff until he gets more money. But no reason to sell what he already owns.

Dude lives in Columbia! I should beat him up and take his collection! That's like 10 miles away from me. I wouldn't sell my collection for moneys. Not that I have a collection anything like that. Just save your money, and you'll have enough money. *grumble* I bet the wifey is insisting on this.

That is relationship theory, in reality it works differently. My girl is as strong willed as they come and I know if I just rolled over every time we disagreed about something she would not respect me.

The guy is from Columbia, MD.  I have no sympathy for the story because (after living in that area) it was all probably bought by his parents $ through the years and the collection was probably more for show than to really game.

    That auction is a nerds wet dream. I would not have to leave the house for years!

    I wish he was selling individually, as my Intellivision no longer works, and I want one so very badly, since I have tons of retro games for it!

If she was cool then yes. Who really wants to be stuck with their mom and their pointless videogame collection forever ?

 

Nike_Air



Well I wouldn't clasify a women that wants me to get rid of my entertainment as ''cool.''

Well , we don't really know if she is making him but if this is a way for him to make some money to pay for the wedding or something else then I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea. People sell off collections all the time.

 

 

Which likely in most cases will be something they regret for the rest of their lives.

Right. And then when you're done loving, what do you do? Just watch the tv? Video games are good, if you enjoy them, as stress relievers and more.

LOL.  "My daddy works for the government, therefore I'm better than you."  It's a very odd thing how 2 groups of people that mostly do the same thing are so different.  Contractors = great to work with, the other group (the G grade not uniformed)......eh not so much.

Hey now. My daddy works for the government! :P But, he was too cheap to buy me any games, just computers. So I had to buy my own systems. And I tried to get into the government, but they were having none of it. *shakes fist*

[QUOTE="Boba_Fett_3710"][QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05"][QUOTE="Boba_Fett_3710"]What a fool. I have a mint in collectable comics that my gf better not even think of messing with. I'm a man, dammit. I pay the rent, so I have the right to put a poster of the 150 original pokemon over the bed we make love. I have the right to take up half...nay, all of the closet space for my museum of games of yore. Grow some damn stones. If I had a controlling gf, soon to be wife, that would have me sell everything that made me what I am today, I would cut her off quicker than gangrene. On a side note, the girl looks sort of like Morgan Webb.

I thought i was the only one who thought she looked like Morgan Webb :o

Only less hot and obviously, less into games.

I totally agree with everything said above, and also think she looks like Webb a bit... but of course, less hot. I will pray for this guy... he's getting owned.
