I'd suggest passing...what's the point of buying so many duplicate consoles? Why would you need RF adapters when newer CRTs can do Composite, S-Video and Component just fine? Even the NES can do Composite. I see he's including some really old CRTs so maybe that's why...

Also, why would you need a PS1 when a PS2 can run all PS1 games? Same for the GBA and a Gameboy.

The games in the pictures seem good, but there's still going to be games you'd likely never touch. I suppose if you don't mind paying a bulk price for a few games you'd only keep on a shelf, then it's not the end of the world. The lack of Gameboy/GBA/PS1/PS2 games is a bit disappointing though.

Basically, if you're willing to drop $1400 USD on this collection, you might be better off focusing on the consoles you like the most and getting specific games for those systems, rather than potentially a bunch of games you won't like or won't play, and a ton of extra systems you'll never use.
