Recent NES black box sales

[BeaglePuss]

Some of these sales have been confirmed by the sellers over on NA. From what people are saying, it appears to be one guy, and I don't believe he's part of NA or any other forum for that matter.

Having sold a sealed title in the five-figure range (and numerous others in the four-figure range), I can assure you these sales do indeed exist. Would I ever spend that type of money on a sealed NES game? Fuck No!!!! But you're damn right I'll sell one for stupid money. I'd rather have a brand new bathroom than a game in an acrylic case, but to each their own I suppose.

Maybe he's laying acrylic tiles in his bathroom.

And I thought that I was the only one.

I would honestly enjoy having any of those black box games sealed. I would. I just couldn't justify spending over $20 for them. If they're sealed, they're decorations, and I don't pay stupid money for decorations. I would, however, spend semi-stupid money for a game that I wanted to play. And by semi-stupid I mean that I will continue to pass on Earthbound until it is going for around its original market price. I ain't spending $100+ plus for a video game.

Oh, my! This is stuff that's worth sticking around for. (I am however saddened that there appears to be no site at www.batshitinsane.com . Not even a redirect. Dang shame, that.)

I can't see why you'd pay $20 for decorations when you could manufacture something just as functional for half that price, at most.
