Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this cart a few years ago. This isn't even close to worth it in my opinion. Then again, I collect hats and hockey pucks (<--- This is actually true), so what the hell do I know?
I would never be willing to pay more than, say, 100 bucks on a game, even an extremely rare one that I like.
I'm just not one for collections or any of that stuff.

That is way too much for a game however it does give you mad bragging rights IMO I always find it real interesting to see what people would pay for these rare gems
3 Were given to the kings of dwarves, 5 to the race of the elves, and 9, 9 were given to 9 leaders of men. Blinded by their greed, they took the Carts without question.
But in secret, the dark lord Miyamoto forged one single Cart; in it, he poured his insanity and madness. One cart to rule them all.

And as for if the cart is good for bragging rights, hell no it isn't. I'd give the buyer 5 minutes in an online forum before he's being called a retard by either people who own all 3 full games featured on this cart or by people who tell him, "guess what, I just downloaded all 3 games for free".
This person is a fool.

I am not buying the "The carts were supposed to be destroyed." I used to get Nintendo Power Club catalogs with things like plushies, coins, POGS (yes, POGS), and system cases. I distinctly remember Nintendo sold these for $100+ to the Nintendo Power Club members. The description violates eBay rules using deceptive wording.
I read about this when I was a huge video game history nerd. I think it's pretty cool. If I had the bucks I would've done the same.
On second thought, my memory isn't that good. It was a Super NES cartridge they sold, so the description may be right.
"only remaining one"
I really wouldn't be suprised if it went for a lot more. This IS a one-of-a-kind item they're bidding on.

Keep in mind it was thought that all of them were destroyed until 2006, and at that point it sold in an auction for $14,000. Presumably this is the same cart, so it turned out to be a 3 year $7,000 dollar profit for the buyer. It's an investment, not a game. Think of it like owning Detective Comics #27, only a hell of a lot rarer. Oooh, or maybe it's money laundering...
The most I spend on a game was 1500$, but thats an arcade board. I wouldn't pay more then 40$ for nes cart.
Whoever bought this has a hell of a lot of cash to spare. And if I had that kind of cash laying around that I could spend on whatever, I might buy something like this. Or a few arcade machines... either way.
$20,000 on a game that will likely never be touched again. What a fucking waste. I'm kind of disgusted now.
Hey, folks spend downright ludicrous amounts of money on some pretty asinine shit.
You wouldn't believe the offers my boy gets for his sealed copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga. Also, I myself have made a downright stupidly expensive offer for his set of VO twinsticks for Sega Saturn.
Sommamabitch won't sell 'em. Dick.

I thought a cart like this previously went for 20,000 - I expect the extra 100 was to one up the guy who last sold one.
I guess the +100$ is there because bids are proportional to the current price, so it seems that when playing with tenths of thousand dollars, you can only up the ante by a hundred or more.
This said... fucking crazy! Personally, I get a stomachache thinking about games that cost over $15.

I got a one of a kind drawing of a stick man by the only one of me, who wants to buy it for a sack of cash?
Rarity really isn't the best thing to use when judging how much something is worth.

Blah blah blah. You people call yourselves collectors. This person is truly a collector. If I had the money I absolutely would spend that. I would also be dumping loads of money into cancer and aids research but that is another matter all together. I'd love to see what their collection is like.
Hey, it's a one-off peculiarity, of course it's worth it if you're into such things. It's got a fucking phoneline connector on it, or is that a full size network socket? I can't tell, either way, it looks awesome.
All credit to him. I'd never spend this much myself, unless I was particularly wealthy... but how do you place a value on a one-off? It's *worth* whatever someone is willing to pay. All you need is a wealthy games collector wanting it more badly than the last, and the price goes up. Until, like someone suggested, a museum purchases it. That'd kind of make me feel better at never having a chance to own it myself :)
WTF is wrong with you people? As far as I can see, people can spend whatever money they want on WHATEVER the hell they want. All you idiots bashing this purchase are jealous you don't have the financial ability to like this guy did. Lots of wealthy people are all around you...lottery winners, celebrities, professional athletes, business owners, doctors, lawyers. People can buy whatever the hell they want so STFU. I personally think it's awesome that classic tech like this still commands big dollars for rare items.
