| Definitely worth the price. He's in Haw River, NC, and it comes with 8 miles of extension cord. |

ok- so you guys ready for this?! My sister and I looked into this- because I just had to figure this whole thing out. This guy apparently had no clue what he had in his possession thus, he just posted a regular black and white ad starting the bidding at $10. He has a game in there called Stadium events which I looked up on wikipedia and this is what I found:
The North American, or NTSC, version of Stadium Events is universally accepted as the rarest licensed NES game ever available for purchase in North America.Ώ]ΐ]Α]Β] It was recently named #6 on a list of 20 "Holy Grails of Console Gaming"Γ], a list that covered all gaming systems in all countries. The reason for its rarity and subsequent high market priceΔ]Ε]Ζ] is due to its limited production and sales.Η] At the time of its launch during the holiday season of 1987, Stadium Events was only available at Northern-region Woolworth's Department Store, which was a test market for Bandai.⎖] In 1988, Nintendo purchased the North American rights to the FFF mat technology and re-released it as the Power Pad. The two Family Fun Fitness-branded games that had already been released, as well as Bandai's version of the running pad accessory, were pulled from shelves and presumed destroyed. Because of this odd sequence of events, only 2000 copies are believed to have been produced, of which it is estimated that 200 copies reached consumers before being recalled.Η] Today, collectors who follow the online sale of rare video games believe that less than 10 complete copies of the game exist, only one of which is factory sealed. A complete copy sold on eBay in November 2008 for over $7,500.⎗]
The guy probably got it from some family member back in the day who didn't know what game to get him for Christmas- LUCKY! |
