I see you.....
So some lady throws up here old nintendo with a few games bundle with it. Checks auction an hour later and it's over $6,000 and climbing. A group of Nintendo lovers on a forum catch wind of the auction and start biding. After side bids and her shooting them down they realize she has no clue what she has. So they tell her what is causing the high bids so she doesn't get screwed and get pics of the box up ASAP. Final winning bid $13,105 +13.xx shipping

Old Nintendo system sells for $13,105 - Plugged In - Yahoo! Games
 
she checked the auction a few hours later an it was 6,000.00 not for the nintendo but for the game she had along with it that is how she got the high price rare game Family Fitness Stadium Events an the price was mostly for the box the game came in lol .



crazy right wish you had your old games now.
 
It's even crazier that it's the box not the actual game that worth so much.

But it wasn't even the game itself that was worth the bulk of the money -- it was the original cardboard box, which collectors value at a breathtaking $10,000. Fewer than 10 complete copies of the game are thought to exist, and retro gaming aficionados consider it one of the hardest-to-find NES games ever made.

I wonder if she had the original box for the NES as well...that was quite a collectors' auction with manuals and dust sleeves.

I have mine currently hooked up. I think it has duck hunt in it, my daughter was playing last.
 
2 hours left and $41,300, I wonder how many "sniped" bids are going to cross the $50,000 mark with seconds to go. This game in another 20 years sealed is some ones retirement booster.
