    I reckon she did alright, seeing as it was a rough copy that had been knocking about for years, compared to a mint unopened one linked to above...

    Who in their right mind would want to spend that kind of money on a game though:confused:

    Or you see how much you'd get by charging for a live stream of an unboxing/will it blend type thing.

    Well, I was being facetious.

    As for who'd pay that much... hmmm, a billionaire tycoon or, perhaps, someone of lesser means but already in possession of > 95% of the NES library.

    The cart itself can be had for $500. Meaning the cardboard box that sold in the last auction was worth more than $10,000.

    I'll say that again, ten grand, for a box! :eek:

    And I thought that was insane until I saw that one end yesterday for $41,300.

    I've seen some rare games and prototypes sell for a lot of money over the years but this is just absolutely ridiculous. Supposedly there's only 1 other sealed copy in the world. And this one was better condition.

    But it's still silly. The amount of interesting games you could get for $41,300. Sure that Earthbound NES prototype was (only) a couple of grand. Which I would find a lot more interesting to own than this.

    Edit / Here's another sealed one -

    has been relisted due to the fake bids :p

    "Im tired of these joy bidders thats not willing to pay and are playing around do you know this is causing me money to list this up. I will only take serious inquiries and offers only now and will not answer anyone with a yellow star rating. The two highest bidders was little kids that are sitting on their butts with pepperoni face pimples that have no lives. Now if you guys want to really make a offer please email me an offer and i will answer as many questions as possible."

    if anyone feels like splashing some cash http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110501811026#ht_500wt_1182
