Forget the instant console collection. If you've always wanted to get into collecting vintage game consoles but weren't sure where to start, we've found the definitive starting point. It's an auction up on eBay UK right now entitled ber 90 Telespielkonsolen (Over 90 Television Consoles), and it is uber indeed. With game systems ranging from old classics like the Atari 2600 (4 versions!) to obscure items like the Game Axe NES clone, the auction covers over 2 and a half decades of gaming history. There are consoles here I've never even heard of.
The auction starts at 3,000 Euros, which is close to $4000, but with 80% of the systems confirmed to be in working order it is totally worth it. The poster recommends you come to Germany to pick up the systems due to high shipping costs, but if you end up winning this horde I very much doubt price is going to be an object. Michael Fahey
