Stadium Events

Some of you surely already know about this, but I thought I'd throw up the link.

Sigh....already $20K...people simply love to throw away money, don't they?

More power to them, I guess.

The 10% donation of the final price of the auction sure has something to do with the current price .... and will grow much more for this alone

^^^True, but kind of reminds me of the entire "jjgames" fiasco.

I honestly can't see the appeal of the game, apart from the people who want to have a complete collection and have enough excess money to throw at such a venture like this game.

Exactly.

With that amount of cash, I can buy a house, save for the future, and, if I wanted, build several complete CIB sets for different consoles!

I'm not a hardcore collector by any means, but I do have about 180 NES games towards a complete set. I'll probably finish up the collection in the next year or two and this is the one game that I'll be getting a repro of and calling it good (if I even go that far).

This sounds interesting what was the jjgames fiasco?

A repro? Just buy World Class Track Meet and be done with it. I can see why someone might want an actual cart to complete a collection, but making a bootleg of it just seems pointless.

pffffffffffffffff, a real fiasco, i posted in favor of JJ, but in the end you were right, everything turned out wrong

[megasdkirby]

There were some good times in that topic.

[kafa111]

if i had tons of money i would buy that, open it, play it once, make video of burning it

If I had a factory sealed copy of Stadium Events I would have gotten it graded as well. It raises your return investment significantly.

I'm only 13 games away from a complete US NES collection. Auctions like this one are very discouraging. I just have to keep hoping I'll find some of the super-rares in a yard sale somewhere, or that someone will bring them into my store to trade not knowing what they are.

This is insane. Did NES collectors become doctors and lawyers and hollywood agents in the past few years? That price is mind blowing. I am in awe of the new age of 5 figure sales.

[jonjandran]

The winning bidder won't pay. They never do.

[Collector_Gaming]

Back up on the block i guess theres a reserve (wonder what the hell that will be)

i guess 22k wasn't enough for a NES game
