The PAL version is not worth near as much but is still worth some cash. Long story short, it's sought after because it was pulled from shelves extremely early in it's life cycle and very few copies were sold.Originally Posted by xDanx
Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.

It's the rarest officially licensed game in North America.
And she only spent a couple bucks on it if I remember correctly.

This auction has been the talk of message boards all over the internets.
Stadium Events Complete in Box in very nice condition on ebay ended 2/10/2010 $13,105. it had a system and 3 or 4 other games.
If you are ever in St louis stop by my store Trade-N-Games. I have a huge selection of vintage games along with the new systems. Or shop online now www.tradengames.com

I like the bidding history. a***0 opened the auction for a mere $13. They clearly knew what they were bidding on in the first place, because it then went from a $110 bid to $2,600 and then to $4,500 and finally $6,900. For about twenty minutes they must have been praying for a steal.
A economic recession doesn't have a dramatic effect on the typical people that can afford to drop $10,000+ on a single video game. It's not as if they suddenly look at their collection of 700+ NES games and suddenly think, "Perhaps I should cut back a bit." I think people with that kind of expendable income would be more likely to downgrade their luxury cars before they downgrade their treasured collections.
Funny, us Germans, VERY RAR, VERY RAR, instead of the correct 'RARE' :-)
Wait... that's the PAL version. Why is that one going for $10,000+?
Heh, they just canceled the auction because they didn't test it. Probally heard about the other auction, remembered they had it, and heard "cha-ching" in their head.

How does 10,000 dollars sound? FOR A PAL VERSION!
LOOK AGAIN HA!
The revolution continues....
How much does the PAL version go for??
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.
The revolution continues....
I thought that Stadium Events, even CIB and in good condition was worth no more than 3k - 4k?
I reject your reality and substitute it for one of my own!
in pounds it was 6grand before he took it off
The revolution continues....
Yeah but I was talking in dollars :P Still, in either currency that's faaar too much.
I reject your reality and substitute it for one of my own!
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
