$13,000 for an old game? NO, how about $40,000?

As it turns out, the game's unopened condition makes Dave's copy of Stadium Events three times more valuable: he sold it on auction site eBay for a breathtaking $41,300. It's thought to be one of only two shrinkwrapped copies of the game still in existence.

$13,000 for an old NES system and games? Cool, but this is better!

Well that is pretty much the rarest game ever on the NES.

Also it was in its original wrapping. Pretty good price, hopefully the buyer is happy

Advice: Save all your games / old systems

Insane amounts of inflation will make it so that $50,000 will equal half a dollar by today's standards. There will be a new unit of money called the "Dollar2" so you will probably be able to sell your Wii for a lot more

On topic, this is ridiculous, who would pay that much?

Anyone that is a super nerd and super rich. It's probably in a display box somewhere, along with original cloth maps from the Ultima series. The early days of gaming were far different then they are now, a much more intimate and pioneering community.

If I struck it major rich, I might spend a butt load of money on some old school Commodore 64 and games.
