Nintendo Sells for $13,105

nes console 300x217 Nintendo Sells for $13,105Old school Nintendo (NES) sells for over $13,000 on eBay.

It was a sick system…and hard to find one that still plays correctly today.  I miss mine terribly.  But would I pay that much money to get another one?  Hell no!  But somebody would.

eBay seller “lace_thongs35″ listed an old NES from the 80′s along with 5 games.  Within minutes the auction price jumped into the thousands.  It wasn’t the system that bidders were after, it was one of the games.  A 1987 release called “Stadium Events” is a highly sought after collectors item.  The game itself is hard to find but the cardboard packaging it came in is even rarer.  Collectors value the packaging at over $10,000.  Retarded…but true.  It is believed that less than 10 complete copies exist today and somebody just snatched up one for over $13,000.
