I know dl_collectibles sold his complete CIB collection back in like 2001.
dl sold his collection a lot more recently than that. I'm thinking around late 2004-ish. I remember the auctions pretty vividly, but didn't snag many myself due to the outrageous prices he was getting (it was great for him though, obviously). Yeah, so unless he sold off, then built up another collection and sold it off a second time, 2001 is waaaaay too early to date it at.

Also, besides the sealed SE copy that Bronty bought, I believe dl_collectibles was the last complete copy sold on ebay.

Sorry for bringing up an old topic..... ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=190 2006-11-27T18:38:32 -05.00 Gamefreak 10 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=190 2006-11-27T04:30:11 -05.00 Gamefreak 10 Originally posted by: wrldstrman

The few complete collections ive seen for sale were missing the rare games. I would say a complete US collection would be worth twenty thousand easy...

well how are you defining complete? 20k seems like a lot to me for a cart only collection. Or are you saying for a complete set of complete games?

Ive yet to see anyone with a complete racermate 2 challenge.

I've got one. In other words, I've got one with all the parts, etc.

But I dont think anyone has or had a 100 percent complete US nes collection. many have come real close but I cant think of anyone who has made it. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=190 2006-11-21T15:13:56 -05.00 Gamefreak 10
I think a lot of people do this more subconsciously but the sentiment is the same. If they're getting a bunch of stuff they just can't value it all at full value if they don't need it in the first place. Most people that have been collecting long enough to approach a full set either know this or have an innate feeling for the "biz" of it and know to break it up. Especially for the larger carts, they may avoid the 'Bay altogether and go with private transactions just for the safety of dealing with someone they know and helping a fellow collector.

Another good (and probably unanswerable) question is how many people have obtained, or approached a full collection that aren't regular members of this or other boards on the topic? That's gotta be so tough without some help... ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=190 2006-11-21T06:51:42 -05.00 Gamefreak 10
But I still ponder what constitutes a complete colleciton. My opinion of one is greatly different than what a lot of people might think. I personally don't think it's possible to have a complete collection due to some important variations, etc.
