"I'm not selling them for money" - Mizkif explains why he declined a $600,000 offer for his collection of rare games

Fans asked Mizkif about his "boxes situation" during the first few hours of his January 3 broadcast. The streamer responded by saying:

"So... funnily enough, for the boxes situation, I got an offer for $600,000 from a real person who is in the industry to buy all my boxes. And I said no. He wanted all my boxes. He said, 'Hey! I know every box you have. It's almost every single one I want. I'd like to buy all your...'"

He described the situation by comparing it to a SpongeBob SquarePants episode. Matthew went on to say that his collection was "worth more than anything:"

"So he wanted to buy my boxes for $600,000 and I'm like, 'You know... no! I don't think those boxes,' look, it goes to what I said in the beginning. Those boxes to me are worth more than anything. I ain't selling them! I'm not selling them for money. It's not worth it. It's just not worth it."
