I wonder if a buyer flaked out or if the seller owned more than one full manufacturer's box.
I'm sure he had more. That's how you introduce a rare product to a market; sell some copies at a low price, generate a buzz, and sell the rest with prospective buyers going crazy over the opportunity to own a copy before they're all gone.

I wish I had been able to buy several copies. Ultimately the consumer decides what they are willing to pay for an item. If someone is willing to spend $100 on a game I paid $10 for, more power to them. They wanted it more than I did. The funny thing is this guy probably bought all of these at an estate sale, yard sale, or auction for a couple of bucks and made a lot of money. Why aren't you getting mad at him for selling copies of the game at $10 he probably paid mere pennies for? Just keep in mind if it wasn't for resellers, many items would never be made available to collectors at prices they agree to pay.


Anyways, I would be suspicious of buying copies of this game a month or two from now. What's to keep someone from removing a label from the black cart, applying it to a crappy gray cart sports game, and switching the PCB? Many collectors won't play the game enough to notice any differences. $100 versus a couple of dollars is more than enough incentive to counterfeit a couple of carts.
