There is only 90 ever made, but it is cart #265. Makes sense to me.

They made more than 90 for the competition, but only 90 grey's were given away. The higest number found is 343 or something like that so you could say there was atleast that many made, but after the competiton was over nintendo took them back and made the 26 gold carts from them, and supposably disposed of the others although 2 or 3 of the initial run have been found by way of Nintendo employees, etc. so there could be around 120 or so surviving carts, between the grey and Gold versions. That being said I think people in the community that track these have found around 20ish of the greys an I think after the last 2, 10 Gold's are known, for a total of 30 or so known carts.

For an item like this, they really ought to open the damn thing and take pictures of the circuit board. Then it would be easier for people to decide if they think it's real.
I find it peculiar the seller says they haven't even tested it. It's worth thousands. Test it and take pictures of it running.

I feel the same way. no board pics or pics of game play at least. Seems kinda fishy... bought mine last year. cartridge # 330 for twice as much. for f--k sakes! If i were the seller, i'd pull the auction, it's selling WAY too low.
Then again, we'll see what happens in the last 5 hrs.

Winning bidder: joeyv816
Final price: $2663.37
I think the buyer got a great deal. I had a snipe in, but it wasn't enough. I simply couldn't afford more or else I'd have bid higher.

Isnt around $2500 the normal price for this these days?

Prices go up and down.

The one prior to it was about $3500 and the one before that I think was $4200. I'm sure someone out there is actually tracking these and has a good answer.

[jajaja]

Ye, i remember those, but i think there have been like 2-3 for sale after them too :)
