Does anybody here have an old boxed Nintendo?

What the...!?!? Dang, that's some sweet action

[jimsmegos]

Not to offend but that's ********.

[jimsmegos]

It wasn't really the Nintendo system itself the buyer was after. The auction included a very rare 1987 game still in its' original box. There are only 10 of those boxes known to still exist. Maybe 11 now, and the box can sell for $10,000 alone. That game with original box was what the buyer was really after. If you didn't read the article, the title is kind of misleading.

Too bad, cause I still have a Nintendo like that, would've been up on eBay in a heart beat

The loose NES system is dirt common. The Stadium Events game is what is valuable. It's the rarest officially licensed NES game released in North America. It is crazy rare.

Even still $5000 for the box alone?
People are weird man.

Exactly, it takes all kinds of collector weird to make the world go round. I really don't see the difference between spending five grand on a vintage action figure, toy or a game. To each their own.

I still have my powerglove with the box

Stadium Events/ hmm.I'd lik eto see Angry Video Game Nerd do a Youtube Review of that one.

Theres a few Atari gams I used to want . Not because of the rarity though. Texas Chainsaw, Porkys . .
