World’s Largest Video Game Collection Sells for $750,000

Michael Thomasson’s epic collection, which includes more than 11,000 unique games, was sold for a whopping $750,250 at auction this week. While the name of the winning bidder (who goes by the online handle “peeps_10091970”) is unknown, he or she is now the proud owner of a Guinness certificate proving that the collection is the world’s largest, a lifetime subscription to RETRO magazine, and enough video games to last several lifetimes. The bidding escalated so quickly that even cash-rich Oculus founder Palmer Luckey (who put in bids for $50,000 and slightly more than $90,000) quickly backed out.
