    I really respect this man. This guy had basically no clue. You could of just said 70$ per bin and he would of said yes. I respect not taking advantage of him. This happened to me with a lady who was going to sell me NCAA14 for 5 bucks i just couldn’t do it, it felt wrong knowing she didn’t know what she had and was just a sweet old lady. Respect for this.

      Of course he had clue, if not he would not have that huge collection.
      Some individual titles, maybe he does not know the current popularity price, but otherwise he does have idea.
      The buyer goes with good price, so he does not need to counter.

    I had an older neighbor who passed away suddenly. He was a musical instrument collector. He had a 50 x 70 shed full of all kinds of musical instruments. Pianos, organs, brass, string, acoustical. He liked to show me his collection and sometimes mention values. Only thing I recognized were some old Martin, Gibson, and Gretsch guitars. When he passed his family came in from out of state and had an estate sale. They realized he had some valuable instruments but he had so much stuff and they so little time and knowledge they pretty much sold many things for what people offered them. I know nothing about musical instruments but pretty sure some folks got killer deals.

    And my previous comment wasn't a dig :) I'm fascinated by the value differences between NTSC-U and PAL titles and mad respect that you don't exploit people who don't know the value of what they have. A lot of people don't seem to realise that there is still a lot of work even in re-selling. Just because something might have a max value of X, doesn't mean you don't need to put serious time and effort into finding the buyer for that max value.
    I really would love to see more Dreamcast stuff, though I'm guessing that stuff is now becoming as uncommon in the wild as it is here in the UK.
