A CIB Stadium Events on ebay.

[xDanx]

Where is this PAL version going for $10,000 that some of you are speaking of?

it was in the link,the bid was 10000 USD,guy was from germany. He took the listing off due to popular demand,he was getting questions off buyers about it,is it working,has it been tested etc.

He's reposting it within the next 10days he said

i think it'l sell more,he's done this to say "look what ive got" seen the hype coming took it off,wants the info spread so when he reposts it,to make even more money.

[Swamperon]

I thought that Stadium Events, even CIB and in good condition was worth no more than 3k - 4k?

[xDanx]

in pounds it was 6grand before he took it off

[Swamperon]

in pounds it was 6grand before he took it off

Yeah but I was talking in dollars :P Still, in either currency that's faaar too much.

Oh okay I missed it then. I just wanted to make sure folks weren't trying to say the Stadium Events that game with the NES was PAL. :O

[PapaStu]

And she only spent a couple bucks on it if I remember correctly.

Also, this...

And merged.

[PapaStu]

Comerically released theres also the special prize cartridges from nintendo isn't there?

Think its the "Nintendo world championships gold edition" and the tourament cartridge.

The NWC was not a commercially released game. It was a comp cart.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

It's sad that all of my friends that know I collect video games have to refer me to that Yahoo! article. You'd think that I would've heard before them...but no.

[VG_Maniac]

I don't understand why when people see something like this...they take it to the internet boards and spread the word. I mean, it ruins the chance anyone has of possibly getting a good buy. Perhaps people bring these kinds of auctions to everyone's attention because they don't want to see anyone get a good deal on it.

[Zap!]

It was last year, than some rich bid-happy people ruined it for the rest of us and drove up the prices.

[Tenjikuronin]

Cornering the Stadium Events market is slightly less insane than cornering the SMB/DH market. And I've already met someone that expressed a desire to do the latter and bought every copy they came across. They're out there man... Way out there. LOL

I love those SMB/DH people......even more so, I love clueless non-gamer people who are willing to pay me $5 per cart.:evil laugh:

[portnoyd]

It was last year, than some rich bid-happy people ruined it for the rest of us and drove up the prices.

About 2 years ago, the last time it was at auction it went for $7800. It hasn't been $3000 for quite some time, definitely more than a year.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

It's simple supply & demand principle:
Supply = constant
Demand = ^, due to increased # of collectors, awareness from society and desperation from those needing it for complete collections

If I had the money, I would've picked it up to ensure that I could complete my collection down the road. I'd rather have a downpayment + closing costs for a new house though.

[portnoyd]

I hope the hype train initiated by the yahoo and boingboing article wears off. Leave my little hobby alone. >.<

[Shadow Kisuragi]

It's the new hot thing to focus on video game news. People who know nothing about the hobby find these sort of things crazy, so they have to write about it.

You'll see an article about someone's crazy collection within the next 2 months from the same writer, guaranteed.

That's the vibe I got from the NintendoAge thread. Also, since not many of us could afford or at least justify buying it even for half as much, there's no personal hard in posting it and it's becomes a "lets see how high it can go" sort of thing.

[Aussie2B]

I know plenty about this hobby and I still find it crazy. I mean, c'mon, it's 13 THOUSAND dollars for an NES game. :P Whether it's a reasonable price for it or not, it's still crazy. And then there's the amazing story behind this particular copy and the owner who knew nothing of what she had. If this isn't interesting material for a game-related article, then I don't know what is.

Besides, it's not like this lot would've sold for 20 bucks if it wasn't posted on some boards and featured in some articles. I'm sure the people that really want the game and are willing to spend thousands are scouring eBay everyday for "Stadium Events" with both a title and description search.

The words "Stadium Events" were not in the title. In fact, I don't think they were in the description either.

[Gameguy]

So is Stadium Events worth more than a NWC 1990 cart now? To be fair, there was a system and other games included so the final auction price wasn't just for Stadium Events(take off $50-$100). It would be funny if collectors would try to take the position that most of the value was because of the other stuff that was included, only $3000 was for the Stadium Events and rest was for the other stuff. Anyone want to spread that around, sell off common games, and wait for the prices to crash to buy them back even cheaper?

[Flashback2012]

Good luck ever finding this game in the wild ever again.

Once all of the yokels, mouth breathers, and flunkies who work at flea markets, Goodwill, and mom n' pop stores get wind of this article, you can bet that any copies floating out there are going to get yanked and tossed up on Ebay. If they do leave it out to buy, the price will get jacked to an obscene level.

$13,000 spent to cap off a collection is nothing for a hobby. We should be glad that our hobby is no where near as expensive as other, more mainstream collections such as cars, comics or baseball cards.

...that's not to say that it's an easy amount to come up with, but serious collectors will save up any amount of money to complete their collections.

[crux]

Though I do agree with you, I wonder what rare but otherwise completely mediocre cars, comics or baseball cards go for unfathomably high prices. Video games are unique in that, at the higher tiers, the most expensive games are noted sorely for their rarity and the particular platform. Who cares that they're often nearly worthless in and of themselves.

[Ye0ldmario]

This auction is going to confuse alot of people. Even moreso of how it's being broadcasted all over the place. It seems everyone thinks that the system itself is what was rare when it was only that 1 game. In closing, everyone will go digging through their attics, pulling out the old nes systems and game bin and throwing crazy prices on it.

Don't be suprised if you see some $9,000 NES systems show up on your local craigslist or ebay in BIN auctions.

Have you EVER seen this game in the wild? I know I never have, and if you did for anywhere close to the price of most nes games, it probably wasn't there for very long...

True, but that doesn't mean that somewhere, perhaps in a warehouse or stuck inside old merchandise, there might be sealed copies lying around.

Imagine finding a few sealed copies of the game. Maybe it can fetch $30,000+ :D

It was in the description, along with the other games in the lot.

There's no way that anyone can convince me that somebody could've gotten the eBay deal of the century had it not been mentioned on boards/in articles. If it was a BIN, sure, but as a normal auction, there's no way that at least a few people willing to drop thousands on it wouldn't have found it.

And, similarly, there's no way anyone can convince me that there's any harm in it getting journalistic coverage. Sure, most of us as collectors want to be a little selfish and keep everything as secret as possible to ensure good deals for ourselves. But as someone with some experience in games journalism, I'd say this story is more than interesting enough to deserve some attention, so as long as the journalists are getting their facts straight, I say write away.

[badinsults]

That is what makes it hilarious. The PAL version is not that rare, people haven't done their research.

The PAL version isn't nearly as rare as the NTSC version. People who are bidding those auctions up are either morons or trolls.

Same here. One is asking for a CIB one because it is the "last game in his collection he needs and all of his other games are boxed" and another one claims that it is his favorite game and he really needs it.

Yeah.... right.

This isn't going to end well. Everyone seems to asume that the cart alone is that valuable when in reality what the collectors were after was the box. Even the Yahoo article, which was the most factually correct, didn't state that. Boing Boing just said that a rare game came with the lot and Destructoid didn't even know why it sold for that much.

Because if done professionally, that would mean a class of fraudulent items on Ebay and quite frankly, everywhere.

How long will it take for those sellers to see the mistakes they're making? $32,000 NES auctions, $10,000 PAL SEs and now the repros... this will be a mess. Someone is going to sue Yahoo or something, you'll see. ROFL

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Calm down guys...I didn't say I'd sell it.

I'm just mildly interested in seeing if it's possible to pass off. If I even did it, and that's doubtful, I'd only list it as Best Offer and wouldn't accept an offer.

I'm sure some of us have these sort of thoughts and I just voiced mine. I'm more surprised that someone hasn't tried it yet.

In all honesty; unless you're a millionaire with loads of money to dump into gaming, anyone willing to dump 13k into a game is a moron, regardless of how rare it is. Collecting is a fun hobby, buy when you spend the amount of money you can use for a car or part of a down payment to a house, then you seriously need to rethink what you're doing. There's a line between a hobby and unhealthy obsession.

So even thought everyone was joking, if anyone wants to put up fake boxes and repos, I say more power to you. I won't be bidding on it, but if people are stupid enough to put a piece of their life savings into a game, then you're now 10k + richer.

And it has to be that particular game. Heh.
Since they just want the game to play(supposedly), I hope people will offer him copies of World Class Track Meet since it's the same thing with some graphic changes.

[GameBoyGeek]

Ok so as certain people here would say I'm what you call a typical n00b so I'll ask a n00b question. What makes stadium events so damn valuable?

Ok after seeing the loose cart i am VERY upset at myself. About a year ago I went to a swap meet and some guy who didn't speak English very well had a copy of stadium events for sale for 15.00 so I call a friend and have him hop in the rarity guide here and I'm guessing he didn't look at the right game so I passed it up.

[megasdkirby]

cool thanks for telling people on a video game collecting message board how to collect

But you got to think, isn't it a bit excessive?

$13k is ludicrous for something as trivial as a video game. Sure it's rare, but what will the item give the buyer in return? Nothing but self satisfaction for owning it. It's not an investment, as it does not make money for the buyer in return. It's just brings the ideal of finally having it to a closure. Nothing else.

Some may argue that the price may increase in the future, making it an investment. But who is to know if an item will increase in price in whichever date in the future? We've all seen how games have lost their values, even in short time, in the past (as was the case with jjgames and his "NWC Gold cart"). This is more of a risk than an investment.

Everyone has free will to do what they see fit. But wisely using that free will is what separates one from another. The problem here is that, in that auction, I can guarantee 100% that those who wanted it where putting high amounts just because "they have to get it, no matter what". And after they get their needed item, what will occur? It will gather in a corner, gathering the dust as time passed, until it will be eventually sold to another party at a later date. Many refute the idea of selling, yet it's an unavoidable outcome. It only brings them temporary happiness.

Contrary to what Zthun said, I don't think that those would would spend so much on a game are "morons", but instead, I think of them as having poor money value or judgement. The value of money is oblivious to them, just as long as it satisfies their own personal need (greed, perhaps?). Or maybe it's because they (referring to said collectors) don't have all of their priorities straight. For instance, at work I am constantly criticized and ridiculed for saving money and not spending it on personal lust (not only sexual, but "personal satisfaction" as they call it). However, there is no need to divulge is said activities, so why squander my hard earned cash for something that is truly not needed? The irony of it all is that they are they same ones who are in constant need of the money they foolishly throw away, expressing their uncertainty and woes whenever the need arises. Yet I am at peace, since I have enough in times of hardship.

Again, everyone has a right to do was they see fit. It's their decision alone. But with so many factors that come into play today, prioritising one's own values is essential. And it's not a factor of one having a copy while the other dreams of one, but instead searching to what is most important in life and gaining eternal happiness.

To some this may be corny, but I rather use the money for ease of mind than for temporary happiness/satisfaction.

Basically this is the original 'World Class Track Meet'. It had a short release before it was pulled. It's a 'variant' that just happened to be the original release of a game.

What if it goes back to $3,000? How many people can actually afford to pay that much for a single game? What if all the collectors who are able and willing to pay that much manage to buy copies well before then?

$13k just seems out of whack for most within the video game hobby... I live in a house too, but not a 10 million dollar one. :D

Well, logically you can say the same crap about the stock market, but people play it anyway. If I invested my money into stocks and mortgage like my grandfather told me to instead of video games, I'd have been penniless so I take "gambling" with a grain of salt on other things.

It won't. I've been in this hobby for 31 years now, and extremely high priced older carts almost never go down. Of course, if a warehouse of 2,000 of these carts are ever found, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong.

It might, only if a plethora of copies are found in a warehouse, like you stated.

Highly unlikely for sure, but anything is possible I guess.

But then a few years after the discovery, it will skyrocket once again. Didn't something similar occur with Cheetahmen?

From what I was told, a couple people on the forum here found boxes of Cheetahmen II sealed in a warehouse previous owned by Active Enterprises and sold off somewhere around 50 copies each.

Actually, it was a handful of people, headed up by Mike Etler, and it was 1500 copies in total on that CM II.

Holy shit on that sealed SE auction! I wonder what that's going to sell for?

Does anyone remember how much Cheetamen 2 originally sold for? It was 1997-98 or thereabouts wasn't it? I remember it going to for $60-70 when I started.

Bought at Richmond Gordmans in Overland Park, Kansas over two decades ago.
