Whats the biggest lot of retro h/w and s/w you've actually physically seen sold

 

I bring this up after my little trek to south london (nine elm's, not too far from where the new US embassy will be located), considering i live central/north london

 

Anyway, i went to nine elms to a regular sunday market/car booter (car booter is somewhat likened to what you people might know as a flea market or garage sale), i only went there on the hunch i might pick up an 'El cheapo' Wireless hardware access point (which i actually did, and exactly what i was looking to pay)

 

Anyway after getting what i was looking for i decided to see the rest of the market (which is held on the grounds of the new covent garden market), I went towards the front end where there was a covered or indoor area there were more stalls there

 

in the middle at one end i managed to catch sight of a stall that i saw had a boxed Atari Jaguar and an N64 as i got closer and closer to the stall, i saw a lot more there including both versions of the Lynx in some plastic presentation case (i guess to stop people getting muck/dirt on the items) several iterations of gameboy and gba, a sega game gear, an unboxed atari 7800, an unboxed original sega MD (with mega cd underneath) and the smaller version of the sega MD, along with a saturn, DC, playstation, unboxed Atari jaguar w/game in cart slot, nes, both version of SMS and a gamecube/snes and literally loads of other games systems, including some electronic games i remember like astro wars, entex's pacman, space invaders 1000 (yellow black), space invaders 10.,000 (white/black) and a red/black version as well, there might have been others, can't recall, along with numerous shelves full of software for those and other games systems

 

If i recall correctly only the boxed atari jaguar and the boxed n64 plus some boxed jaguar games (10) and a few boxed Mega cd software, came in original packaging/boxes, everything thing else was unboxed (i.e loose)

 

 

Only thing with the boxed jaguar is that i think it was NTSC only (since it had an american sticker on it, just to the upper left side of the box)

 

One thing i did notice though was a hell of a lot of these stalls selling different iterations of second hand Xbox, compared to literally only a hand ful of ps2s/3 and only 2 wii's seen, has MS gone bust or something or are people just upgrading

 

I am sure someone here can beat that

I don't know if you'd say I saw this "physically", since I only saw pictures, but back at the tail end of rgvc, someone was trying to sell off a largish storage locker full of classic computing goods. It was at least a 10-foot locker, packed floor-to-ceiling with vintage gaming goods. Problem was, there was so much there the seller didn't want to bother cataloging it all or field any questions about what was in there or the condition of various items. Also, he let it be known that if he didn't get a sweet deal on his lot, he would cancel the auction and forget the whole thing.

 

In short, a real jerk.

I once got three cardboard moving boxes full of Commodore 64 stuff for $40. I'm still exploring the (literally) hundreds of copied disks I got.
