Good Lord, I wish I had that kind of expendable income...

It says "make offer."

I'm going to see if he'll take an Atari Jaguar! :tickled:

Holy Grail indeed. I wouldn't even touch it without gloves on.:lolz:

Seriously though, I'd rather have a $15,000 car.

The only way I could EVER justify a purchase like that is if I were loaded...lottery loaded. With my normal income, I'd never in a million years spend that kind of green on a single gaming item.

It is the king-shit though.......

I'd hate to own something like that

it's like having a fragile baby around

besides, if I was going to go all out for a gaming related item, it wouldn't be something I have absolutely no interest in owning

that being said, Kizuna Encounter is actually a decent game

but I don't know about 12,000 dollars decent

I'm sorry anyone who spends 15,000 on an NES cart is an idiot.

How long before Nintendo puts the ROM up on their new service? :)

there were no oompaloompas. no fields of sour patch grass. no orchards of junior mint trees.

just a simple compount with people walking around in Nintendo jackets talking shit about FMVs and how ridiculous it was that people would rather sit through an FMV than play a fucking game.

Hahaha, you're dating yourself there E-dub :p

FMV needs to make a comeback. Possibly in conjunction with EMF and the McDLT.

I remember playing this at the Nintendo World Championship. I imagine it wouldn't be very fun as a game to have around.

Owning that thing has little to do with fun. That's a serious collector's item only. Trust me, that thing will only go up in price over time.

Wow I cannot remember the last time I saw a gold one on ebay (I've seen a few grey ones).......

This guy listed it twice over the summer with two different offers. One for $18,000 where he would get $1,000 every month for 18 months. The other was for $12,000 all at once. He chose to decline them and wait till around x-mas.

I wonder if there are any unique marks on it.

I wonder if somebody could make this with a zelda shell?

RAINBOW PONY

people who would actually buy this (gaming nerds) won't be able to afford what he wants, or they won't be able to pay it all at once (few could say they can drop 15 grand cash on something). so he's already re-listed it a few times? no surprise, i doubt it will sell this time either.

the super rich gaming nerd just doesn't exist (dion withstanding, shawn uses his parents money so he doesn't count).

Is it made out of solid gold? No??

Then fuck it.

87 feedback is excellent for E-bay... I'd say 100-300 is ideal. Most of the scammers have feedback over 1000... the bulk sellers commonly misrepresent the condition of their items or traffic in bootlegs to maintain that kind of Ebay volume.

Doubtful because of the hole in the cart.

One of the very few carts that can rival a Euro kizuna encounter in price.

I would dare to say that this might be taking collecting a little too far.:help:

Good. God. That cartridge better come with:

The meaning of life.

Guaranteed pussy for the rest of your life as well as future male offspring.

The secret behind The Bermuda Triangle.

Anyone want to add anything else?

I agree. Hell I only knew bits and pieces of the NWC cart, but I had no idea it could potentially fetch that much.

No kidding. That price for ANY game, no matter how rare, is totally insane.

As a Nintendo fan, I can say I'd buy it if I had the cash (like said before, lottery kind of cash). That thing is rare. Of 25 given out, only 10 are accounted for. You had to win that from Nintendo Power and included in the prize was a trip to Nintendo HQ and a full tour. Quite a cool prize for Nintendo fans back in 1990.

Granted, it's a collector's item and only worth that to a collector.

Imagine where the other 15 are....

I have seen a fake......(NOT saying this one is a Fake)

I had a picture saved of it somewhere(years ago)They cut a whole and inserted a switch box that just didn't look exactly like the real one..(if you blew up the picture and really looked.)

The label was slightly off and looked washed out a bit..

As I remember the seller was asked for screen shots that he would not provide..

The auction was Canned..

that cart is fake,

this is what the real game looks like. if he could fetch anywhere near 15

grands, he is more than willing to sacrifice his perfect 87 egay feedbacks.

Actually, I think you may be wrong. I think your picture is nothing more than a promotional picture taken from Nintendo Power.
