I'm thinking about adding a huge perk on Indiegogo.
A 10000€ one: Handheld Museum in a box!
You get:
225 games used to make the book, about 11000€ value and about 3000€ saving on shipping costs as you get them all at once.
10 copies of the book

What do you guys think?

That is some what a good idea, if you want to let go of all the games......
But im sure someone with the right interest for these handheld games, and huge pockets would be interested in a deal like this.

For the best ones I have doubles to play on! So I won't be doing away everything.

Yes, and to play the games. Buying things for gathering dust is not one of my hobbies.

It will be difficult to sell them all at once for a good price. People that are allready collecting just want to have what they are missing. Shops and traders would want to pay a lower price for the lot. I hope you can sell it for a good price but it will be a long shot...... That is the reality of collecting. :-\

Hoping for a spoiled kid, either from a sjeik in Dubai, or one that made millions in the Valley ;)
Also coming with a new perk: a full scale cardboard Retro Space.

Just paid.
Have you tried on KLOV? I couldent imagine they arent interested in such things there...
Can someone recommend me there. Username is 2kboffun. I love to donate, but I never fill in my paypal address anywhere, so I'll do that anonymously then, and more important: can't find the link to do so.

Hi Blanka,

Can I ask what the status of your book is? Did you get the funding to continue?

All the best,
