Dude, that has to be one of the greatest deals of all time! Especially the DC!
What are the two consoles in the top picture in-between the PSone and Gamecube?

Looks to me like it's two Atari 2600's.

You're right! Just checked on google images and they look just like that.

Very Very lucky!

Might want to scan E-Bay, see rough value of what you have especially the games, maybe some rarities.

Or use this tool for a rough guesstimate:

If any of them couldn't read discs, PLEASE tell me how he was able to fix them. Otherwise, nice pickup.
He fixed them all by replacing a resistor on the controller port board. Apparently it's pretty common for aftermarket controllers to blow a resistor on this board. At this point he is 12 saves out of 13 busted units (he bought even more recently).
Ow! My small intestine!

Oh, I've been using the standard first party controllers on mine. A friend of mine said something about calibrating the disc drive or something? Yeah I really don't know. Thanks for sharing though.
