Pro-tip: Don't claim an NES is your only possession and then post pictures of you playing it on an hdtv screen.
I always picture who type in all caps as shouty and angry :(
He probably uses the thing to masturbate or something

What ChickenNow said... not to mention the camera and the computer he had to use to upload those pictures, right?
Gaidenrider: 100? Dude, you could probably get one for, like 40 or 50. Especially now that NES and SNES clones are legal, and they're being sold as one system.
Also, this man is my hero.
Also also, HOLY SHIT HE HAS A GAME GENIE IN THERE.

The thing is.. what if the person that actually wants to pay that much doesn't want that lame ass sticker on it?
God forbid someone be broke. Not everyone sits around playing video games and trolling the internet for money. Sometimes people need help paying their bills, and at least this guy isn't just begging for it. Not that you care. You're just content being a misanthropic little twat that thinks he's hot shit because he works for Destructoid.
the dude will find the 80yr old gamer living in his mother's basement that will bid the shit out of it & offer his soul.

Yeah, fuck that. I just bought my friend an NES for $50 and it was in better condition. This guy has lost his mind.
How about a trade? I'll take his NES and in exchange I'll get him a third grade English education? Fair, right?
Theses are the types of people I have on pity for. Meaning it's the only thing he owns fully means he took out huge loans or credit cards to pay for that hdtv, camera, laptop, etc. Just another example of someone living above their means then suddenly unable to pay for it. If anyone buys this it will be a sad day for humanity. Also...

Uhhhhh...this guy must be that idiot this article is about, otherwise no explanation.

Seriously, I tried to sell a PS3 at launch on eBay and the only bidders I got were scammers. If this dude makes the money he wants, I'll cry.
I read that sticker as "Weeping it old skool"
Also, it's not even a top-loader. That was the one horrible thing about the NES--the goddamned spring!

All we have to do is make a ruckus about it in the forums and all over the interwebz and he can slap a "Controversial" title on his NES. That would sell.
I bought my NES (with all cables, Mega Man 3, a Controller and a Joystick) for $5 AUD (~$4 USD) from a garage sale, I'm starting to think that's pretty cheap.
Ha, it "sold" for $50,000.
What kills me is that the poor guy probably thinks he really is going to get 50 large for his old gaming stuff.

I still got my NES here. Mint condition with slight yellowish fading on one of the controllers. Comes with a Zapper and two controllers and about two dozen cartridges.
I'd actually be more than fucking happy if anyone wanted to trade their Radeon HD 5850 or similar GPU. Would actually trade it for a PS3 or Xbox 360 if I didn't already have them. And I don't think anyone in their right mind will actually trade their new toy for something old and low tech. I know I won't.
Asking $50,000 for that? That dude must be on crack. I bet it won't even fetch for 1/20th his asking price.

That's really strange because I sold a fully operational NES today in the original box (it's been opened though), an original nintendo game wooden box thing filled with fully working games, two controllers, a blaster, and a nintendo advantage for around $30 at a yard sale earlier today.
I wonder how passerbys would react if had put a $35,000 price tag on it.
