Bought a car FULL OF VIDEO GAMES!

[@34jetli]

That bundle is probably worth it if you're willing to put in the time to sort, clean, test, and resell it all. For me personally, it looked like more trouble than what it was worth unless you paid the original $60 asking. Also, maybe invest in a GoPro camera or a phone strap that is hands free so you can use two hands.
