That nasty-ass NWC cart on eBay

This is a collecting site people, how have we not discussed this?*
http://www.ebay.com/itm/-...221364371100?roken=TitjJm
This is a relisting, I saw it last week at like $95k or something. Here's NA's coverage:

To those of you who would like to have a NWC cart in your collection, would you be proud showing off something as haggard as this?

My apologies if it has been discussed in another thread.

Considering a nice grey NWC has just recently sold for $17.5k, and another is for sale now for $16k, this one would be worth well below that. This whole debacle with this cart is just making a bit of a joke out of the whole thing with the silly offers, and new ridiculous starting price.
Honestly, all this has done is produce bad articles by uninformed news outlets.

Even at 5K I would want that in my collection. I am not huge on condition but damn!
If I found a NWC cart in the wild that thing would be on ebay before I got home.

Yes. I can't believe people actually believed those were legit bids. It would take 10 seconds to google previous sales to get a good average price of what it should have gone for. But, this specific copy got a lot of mainstream media coverage, then a bunch of people started throwing troll bids at it. The auction ended and instantly articles were coming out "Rare Nintendo Game sells for 100K!" all while failing to realize that an item is not 'bought' until its been paid for. Only a couple of authors actually made new articles (like the pricecharting blog) after the fact when the 'buyer' backed out. Most of them were unedited and did not bring this new, very important detail to light. The whole point of an auction is to put out bids, if the bidder doesn't pay then it gets redone.

I can't believe Nintendoage fell for it either. It made their front page. They of all people should have known it wasn't legit.

Yeah, even taking it's rarity into account I don't see that happening when good condition carts have gone for far less. I imagine I'd be proud of that rare a game to, even in shitty condition but I don't see getting that much money out of it.

I wouldn't unless I was desperate, I'd want to sit on a find like that for the bragging rights XD

I love that someone wrote MARIO across the front.

How about the no label gold cart that sold for $100K?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/N...Adult-Owned-/281253143194
There has been some discussion about whether listings like these are a means of money laundering or are legit. I'd like to swing over to Laramie to ask the seller. Unfortunately for us, this draws attention to the hobby, making it much more difficult to find great buys in the wild. Seems every sought after game on eBay anymore is sold at an escalated Buy-It-Now price, and they're just going to keep going up.

Relax, I can fix it.

It might have been "sold", but probably not paid for. I'm fairly sure those were troll bids
