I’m auctioning HIS collection - Tech Hoarders 2

It’s never easy saying goodbye. And today Linus is making one of his employees say farewell to YEARS of retro collecting. He’s got everything, from modded Nintendos, to rare Playstations, to one of a kind Segas, to consoles that are worth TOO MUCH! It’s like reality TV, but better because it’s actually real this time, and you can get some of these valuable collectables yourself…

The auction is now completed! Thank you so much for your support. See you when it's time for David's Tech Upgrade :)

Damn this room feels so rooted in David's soul. It just feels like it's filled with all his passions and interests and he has to get rid of them to move on. BIG MOVES DAVID really happy for you and your new house..

[Smokinjoewhite]

Linus talking about tasteful decor while his garishly wrapped Porsche is in the background is brilliant.

If you are curious, the 189 lots sold for a total of $22, 836.80

[Palooka]

Thank you Linus for being so genuinely human throughout this - the bits where you explain that David isn't just hamming it up felt really necessary to showing that this isn't just a funny video. Really appreciate it.

[CassandraFriskie]

My amazing boyfriend. I feel very blessed he made such sacrifices for us and the next chapter in our life!!! I know how hard this was and im so grateful! Cant wait to create our new home together!! I love you 💜💜🥹🥹

Bro swore on Chrono Trigger that he wouldn't bamboozle or hide anything, then immediately revealed his hidden boxes. David is a real one.

[MrJoedog]

Really easy to see how bittersweet this was. Props to David for having the balls and maturity to do this, and props to Linus for being supportive and sticking to his guns for David's benefit. These are some of the hardest parts of being an adult, but they really separate the wheat from the chaff.

It's clear that your love for gaming runs deep. Selling these consoles and games must be incredibly challenging, but it's admirable that you're able to do this and prioritize necessary changes.

"its a insurance scam dont worry" broke me lmao

[Dinostra]

I didn't even know i could scream NO for 30 minutes. I learned something about myself today

[jreen]

Linus is seriously amazing, y’all remember the labs drama? I feel bad that he had to go through all that I bet that had to be one of the most stressful times in a long time. I’m glad they are doing good, he is such a good guy. Truly an inspiration of a person, I want to be more like Linus.

Linus: "You should own your media!"
Also Linus: "Get rid of this trash!"

[wasserhammer]

I am proud of David. I did this same process during the pandemic and I sold my entire collection. I was able to pay off my school loans, my car, get my condo fixed, paid off credit cards, bought a new fridge and did some pc upgrades. The fixes to my condo ultimately allowed me to sell my condo and get my first house. I feel much better having decluttered

[balu]

Never thought I would see Slim Shady auctioning..




edit: realised it was a "stolen joke" i didnt know that because its my first time seeing linus with the new hair and this is the first thing that came into my mind, also this is just a youtube comment chill

[francismendes]

I'm the only one who is sad for him? You can see this is his real passion. Maybe just sell the duplicates and done.

[Brydagr]

I now only hoard Steam Games, ~1700 games all installed locally on a 30tb array.

[chelseajordan]

Linus is essentially a therapist in this project. I have a very similar relationship to the (massive amounts of) stuff I collect. You can see that David has a lot of feelings (potential joy) attached to all of these items that he has put time and care into amassing over many years. Linus redirects him to his goal to help him snap out of it and make logical decisions. Linus is being nonjudgmental, keeping a positive attitude, goal oriented, and respectful to David. Solid job to Linus for helping David and also for David getting through this.

[AshtarteD]

My respect for David grew tenfold with this video. So many great classic games and consoles. I would say for consoles if you want to mostly emulate (this isn't just for David) the consoles worth keeping around are Dreamcast, Saturn, Xbox 360 and PS3. Those are the four consoles with the worst emulation scenes for various reasons be it really hard to emulate (PS3) or lack of popularity (Saturn).

7:41 is that a StarTrek tattoo? My respect for this man keeps multiplying!

[panttal]

I am pretty sure, He cried a lot that night after that commitment.
