Like auctions? It doesn't matter if you do or if you don't because you're gonna love this one: gameSniped reports that eBay has released possibly the most attractive auction offer this year. The whole SNES game collection, counting a total of 720 unique carts
for Nintendo's old but popular gaming system. gameSniped also sat down with the seller at the auction and asked him a few questions about why would he want to sell the collection after trying so hard to complete it, or which were the most difficult titles to track down.

After confessing that it took "about one to two years to get everything together," the seller stated that his decision to auction the game collection was because it didn't present a priority anymore: "Well, I've reached the point where collecting isn't such a priority anymore. That and I don't have time to enjoy playing the games. So I might as well sell it to someone else who will be able to fully enjoy it."

Sometimes, the seller would buy them each at a piece and sometimes more at a time, in order to complete his collection, but certain titles proved to be harder to find. He didn't back down though: "Probably Ren & Stimpy Fire Dogs or a complete Final Fight Guy in good shape, that box is near impossible to find without rental stickers on it."

eBay has auctioned several times NES complete collections of games, but never a SNES collection. This is your chance, big spender, to get all 720 SNES titles, but that's of course if you're still into retro gaming and still have a system to play them on.
