Title: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Tondog on April 18, 2007, 01:33:54 PM http://www.myebid.com/cgi-bin/auction/view?cmd=view&listingID=3402
Sure, there are 23 other games in there, but honestly, who gives a shit? It's the freakin' 1990 WC gold cart!!! I feel sorry for the guy who selled it since his son died while fighting in Iraq, but hopefully this helps him out quite a bit. What I want to know is if his son actually won it back in the day, or if he bought it.

I'll bet he was surprised. I hope the high bidder explained why it went for so much.

Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: NES_Rules on April 18, 2007, 01:44:46 PM Just imagine if the seller had a garage sale and sold that stuff instead. That would be so awesome to pick up NWC for a buck.
Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Tondog on April 18, 2007, 01:50:47 PM NWC for $1 would be the find of the century.
Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Tynstar on April 18, 2007, 02:57:49 PM I am with a lot of big time NES collectors thinking that is a fake auction well at least a fake bid.
Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: James on April 18, 2007, 03:07:23 PM One of the winning bidder's feedback says something about a silver PS3. Huh?
Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Tondog on April 18, 2007, 03:10:39 PM Really? You think it's fake? What makes you say that?
Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Tynstar on April 18, 2007, 03:12:18 PM Over priced for even that cart. The seller very well could have the cart but the bidder isn't going to pay.
Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: udisi on April 20, 2007, 11:42:30 PM There actually was a NWC Gold found for $2 maybe 10 years ago. The funny part was the guy who found it left the price sticker on it just for postarity.
Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Izret101 on April 22, 2007, 08:00:45 AM If it really gets picked up that would make it the most expensive game ever purchased if memory serves.
The other one was some Euro game that sold for like 1600 euro a few years back. T&T had info on it. Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Tynstar on April 22, 2007, 01:19:00 PM I am not sure if it is a rumor or not but a European Neo Geo game sold for 11k-13k.
Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Izret101 on April 22, 2007, 10:12:52 PM I think your right.
It forgot a zero... If soemone has back issues of T&T and feels like hunting they can find the artice :-P I would have searched for myself already but i don't have mine with me :-/ I believe it was some sort of private auction. Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Tynstar on April 22, 2007, 10:29:11 PM It is something Encounter,

Thanks for the info blissful :) Title: Re: NES World Championship Cartridge sells for $21,400 Post by: Grim Fandango on April 24, 2007, 10:43:14 PM This could have been a free intrest check. I was thinking about it at work, a well known collector was thinking about selling his but didn't want to start the auction low (for fear of not getting the price for it he wanted) and didn't want to fork out the fees for a high BIN/Best Offer auction. Sell creates a name on a shady auction site and watches the bids roll in without fear of getting burned. now that ebay is having a 20 cent listing day, two things happen:
Either the seller knows it will sell and has the confidence that it will sell around the price he is hoping or he uses the shady auction to persude would be bidders. "Hey, it sold for over 20k, get it here for a steal!" conspiracys abound! |
