Wow, after the, mere, $13,105 paid for a copy a couple of weeks ago. That person must be kicking herself.

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

And to know that it'll just sit on a shelf for the rest of it's life.

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.

You are nuts - you only ever owned Kiss Pinball, and Barbie: Race and Ride!

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 -
