Do you have a million dollars? All consoles in history can be yours

When a new generation of consoles comes out, we have to decide on a system. Do we repeat another generation with PlayStation, or do we give the new Xbox a chance? We usually decide on one model or another based on the catalog of exclusives, our affinity with the brand and even our experience with the previous generation. However, there are people who do not buy consoles based on these reasons, but who do so purely for collecting. This is the case that we are going to talk about today, because a Frenchman has put up for sale a lot containing all the consoles you can imagine.

50 years of history can be yours for 1 million dollars

She calls herself Kaori Trente (Kaori30) on the Internet, and in the next few days, she may go down in history thanks to an eBay ad. This French collector has put up for sale on the second-hand platform an incredible lot containing all the consoles that have gone on sale in the last 50 years.

Kaori Trente started her collection years ago. In the early 1990s, her interest in video game consoles led her to buy and collect as many as he could. He did not focus only on specific models, but he wanted to get hold of each and every one of the variants that went to market. We are talking about consoles of the same generation with different chassis, colors, game packs… all the iterations you can imagine. The collection includes American, Japanese and European consoles. A real madness.

A collection has had good days and bad days

Unfortunately, the enthusiast gave up his collection entirely in the early 2000s. He sold everything he owned, although we don’t know if he did it because he was having a hard time financially or because he lost interest in continuing to collect. A few years later, Kaori Trente decided to get back to her old ways, although she stopped again in 2011 because she didn’t have time to devote to it. In 2018, Kaori30 visited Japan, and after passing through the country of the Rising Sun, she decided that he had to continue his collection.

Currently, his collection has a total of over 2,400 consoles. Machines that have gone on sale in the last half century. Most of them are in their box, completely unworn. The collection includes desktop and portable consoles in all their versions of colors, shapes and joint packs with games and accessories. Of course, there are also the limited editionswhich are probably the ones that add the most value to the collection.

During these last days, Kaori Trente has decided to put an end to her hobby. The enthusiast has posted an ad on eBay in which he is willing to part with her massive console collection for a few €984,000. A price that is not bad considering the number of consoles in the collection. According to Kaori Trente, 99% of all of them are totally brand new.

As a curious fact, the collector has put his link to Instagram on the sale page. In it we can see many details about your collections. He also has a YouTube channel. In it we have been able to see a video of what was your collection like in 2010.
