Game auction blog gameSniped features several gaming collector item auctions in a recent post, but the highlight is a prototype controller for the unreleased (duh) SNES CD development kit. For the reasonable price of $2,999, you can nab a useless piece of gaming history! As of New Year's Eve morning, 28 offers have been submitted. I'm offering a kick in the pants for charging $8.95 shipping on a $3k item that weighs less than 1lb.
The same eBay seller also lists a prototype Nintendo Entertainment System cartridge for a game called Wally Bear and the No Gang. I'm with the No Gang on this one: No. The auction states that its rareness comes from its ACGI label. This item is also reasonably priced at $1,999.
I thank the robot gods that my "ebay wants" are much simpler: I just need a mint, sealed copy of Enix's Bust a Groove. We're talking hundreds, not thousands.

Someone is getting ripped off =/

That would make sense given the rectangle/triangle select/start buttons and the cross shaped recesses around the driectional pad and main buttons. wild.
I still have my copy of Bust-A-Move 2, I get offers on it occasionally, but the first is a bit more rare.

Funny thing is he got the controller for free, so if someone did shell out that much it'd be quite the payday.
