    $21,000? Oh god, I'd rather just spend an even $700 seeing as these games sell for what, $1 each?

      $1? Not even close. Maybe if you found them used at a garage sale, but on ebay? Shit no, son. Especially since shipping would be at least $3 per game. But also, each game has their own value. All the worthwhile games go around $10 or a little under. The more rare games can go upwards of $20-$30, using Final Fantasy as a base. The Dragon Warrior games, sepcifically II, III, and IV go for a bit of cash. Unlicensed carts such as Action 52 bring in a pretty penny too (Action 52 actually climbing near $100) but this is only for licensed carts. Leading up to the gold Nintendo World Cup cart which actually goes upwards of $15,000. Regular Nintendo World Cup carts go for around $5000. The catch with that cart was that you had to have won it in a contest. Not that this auction actually contains it.

      I'm not exactly trying to justify the cost of the auction but there's no way you'd ever get all those games for just $670 + price of system + accessories (some rare too, like ROB which exceeds $100). A lot of the draw to this would be the shipping price and volume of the auction. Obviously you aren't just going to happen upon 670 games at a garage sale and it would take at least a year (come on, it would take longer) to just find them. Buying them from separate ebay auctions would mean getting fucked by shipping price. Convenient and easy.

      Personally, even if I had the money I would never even look in to this since a majority of the games are as fun as punching your own nuts through your mouth. I have my own personal collection which is like 30 carts + GOLF (Can't sell it on ebay).

        Hmm.

        Notice the gap from the 29th to the 31st?

        On the 30th, bids broke into $200,000.

        I guess eBay noticed they were fake.

        ps old saw this when it was only hours old

          "The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the minimum bid or reserve amount."

          Looks like he did not sell it, haha.
