This man has one hell of a collection and it's clearly painful seeing it all go.

Why was this post down voted into oblivion?

Have no idea. Thought people would enjoy seeing someone's collection and be interested in buying some of his collection since he put it up for auction, but I guess not...?

If I had to guess, the retro gaming speculator bubble probably ran the collecting part of the hobby's reputation into the ground.

That's pretty much the point Linus makes in the video to the collector.

I was quoting him, as an example of one of the reasons the post was downvoted. Sorry for the confusion. I should've added more context.
