Ultra Rare NES Game Sells for $41,300

Hmmm now I'm thinking about keeping some of my older games....definitely lucky them.

I should keep all my floppy disks, they will become rare in 3010 for sure. That is, if we survive 2012. Lol.

That's a huge chunk of change for an outdated NES games. But hey, to each their own.

I knew I should have kept all those really old games! Phooey!

I wonder how much a Legend of Zelda Gold cartridge goes for

Well, I sold my original Resident Evil game for $200 (PC version), so there is definitely a market for classic games out there.

Hold on to your N-Gage's!

I wouldn't give you a wooden knickel for it.

Wow, the things some people put a value on. It was basically a worthless (at the time) version of the exact same game that came out the following year (because the power pad wasn't available at first). Here's to you, moron with $41,300 to burn! You could have bought some precious metal, some rare stamps or coins, or perhaps a nice rare painting. Instead, you have a super shitty Nintendo game whose code isn't even rare (only the way it was packaged).

Bet that other guy who bought a copy for $13,000 feels like he was wasted his money.

wow with that much money I can pay off my mortgage in one go.

the currently running auction for one of these is at $800,200. I'm not even kidding.

It must be someone pulling a gag. It has to be...right?

The rare Stadium Events game isn't really what they're bidding on. The inside of the original packaging contains secret information about the Kennedy assassination.

Yes, and 5 of the original 200 copies released to consumers contain a golden ticket to Wonka's factory which incidently has the location of HOffa's body written on it as well.

That's sorta like the original teenage mutant ninja turtles comic that was mass made and distributed at a convention. Everyone thought it was stupid and you could easily find garbage cans full of them.

and may the best bidder WINS!

I've got this old Atari cartridge, "E.T." It must be worth millions by now!

ummm
i still have that game... to think about it i got it like 19 years ago from a friend... i never knew that game was so limited, since i and a couple of friend got it and used to play party with the Nintendo 4 controller adapter and the Super power PAD. I borrowed from my friend together with many other games, and together with a Atari 5600, Atari 16 bit console system, turbo graphics 16, Sega master system, Neo geo, and like 100 games for all those consoles.. i gotta go back to my country..

i have a hard time understanding 40k on an outdated game, even if it is rare.
Whoever bought this must have some emotional connection to the game beyond simple childhood memories. ESPECIALLY since he could probably download it at the discounted price of $0

I remember playing this game. A friend of mine had it with the power pad. I remember us cheating the long jump by just jumping off of the pad for a long them and then stepping back on. You could jump for miles. We would cheat the track races by using our hands. I can't believe this thing sold for $40,000. If my friend is reading this, he's kicking himself for not keeping his copy.

I have an unopened game E.T. The Extra-terrestrial for the original Atari 2600. How much do you think I can get for it?

Dang! If I knew that all my childhood toys and games were going to be worth so much I never would have played with anything and kept them all factory sealed! Why did I have to abuse and trash them all?

Only 200 copies but probably 1 billion of the game's rom floating around for several years.

Wonder what I can get for my PC copy of MW2.

I'm sorry, but this new is ~2 weeks old!

Quick, some one call Nintendo and tell them they should get a $10 kick back for this used game sale!
