Horde of Nintendo games and collectibles sells for $20,000
After amassing an impressive collection of nearly 1,000 different Nintendo games, consoles, accessories, and collectibles, a man from Wisconsin sold them all for $20,000 in cold, hard cash.
Charles Amble, 30, found a buyer for his impressive collection of Nintendo goodies, ABC Milwaukee affiliate WISN reported Wednesday. Amble originally put the collection up on eBay about a week earlier, asking for $29,900, but pulled it off the online marketplace after receiving a $20,000 cash offer.
The buyer drove a pick-up truck from Ohio to Milwaukee to pick up the collection, which included nearly 750 games from four different Nintendo consoles. There were 529 Nintendo Entertainment games, 90 Super NES games, 111 Nintendo 64 games, and eight Game Boy games (all cataloged in this impressive spreadsheet).
To prove he wasn't messing around, Amble put together a photo gallery of his collection that you can check out here:

Amble told WISN he amassed his collection over 10 years, with most of the games coming from garage sales, thrift stores, and auctions for $1 to $10 a piece.
With a fresh $20,000 burning a hole in his pocket, Amble plans on traveling with his wife and is thinking about buying a boat.
