What's better than a cool looking but ultimately useless vintage NES peripheral? Why, a large quantity of them, of course. That's the theory from Ebay user andyarcade, who currently has an auction up for 39 Famicom Power Gloves mint in the boxes. How he has that many mint is anyone's guess, but I'm going to wager it has something to do with theft, drug use and scrotum poaching. The current bid is about $83 and it ends on March 22nd. Be warned, in case you do have an hankering to own this nutbag collection and you reside in the US -- the shipping is $356 AU, which comes out to about $320 bucks for you. NOT cheap. Then again, if you're the kind of guy that is frantically searching for a mass quantity of Famicom Power Gloves, somehow I would think money is no object. [Via GoNintendo --Thanks, Jonathan]

Gloria Gelder approves of this auction!
That auction is so bad!
I love the powerglove.
If some wons a retro gaming store than this auction is perfect.
What else can I say other than "I love the Powerglove" and "It's so bad".
I sort of want whoever wins this to start wearing them in public and start some sort of crazy fashion craze. That would make me smile.
I totally want one. Just one though. Not 39. Just one.
man, does anybody want to chip in with me? i'd be willing to rock this shit out if enough people want one and have some dough
Dear Dtoid,
Please win this and make the next contest something like "39 worst haircuts = a free power glove!"
I will get a perm for that shit. I will be your Lucas.
Damn! That's alot of useless crap. Love the post.. good find too. It's definitely a 9 on my WTF meter.
I love the Powerglove. It's SO bad.

OH MY GOD Its Ninjtendo. Bring him back Hamza, BRING HIM BACK!!!!
No glove, no love.
Qwerty; find 37 other people in the next 24 hours, and I'll totally be in on that.
The amount of power that is contained in those boxes is too much for any one human being to handle.
Oh my god, a piece of gaming history. Feel the power of the glove.
It will only be a matter of time, before some talented homebrewer, rigs one of these working up to a Wii. I'd love to see a video of that.

What the hell people, it took 5 comments for a picture of Lucas to show up. Next time a Power Glove story appears I want Lucas in the first 3.
I want one just to wear and live out my The wizard lucas fantasy's.
I love the power glove it's so bad.
I'd love to get one of these for my collection, never had the chance to play with one...
Sadly, the power glove was so bad. Also, scrotum poaching.
!SCROTUM POACHING++
DAMMIT CHIEFTUN! YOU BEAT ME >=O
Now you're playing with POWER!!!
With those, I could FEEL the games. Maybe then, I'd cry over losing a character. Or hug a character inappropriately. Creepy much?
I'm just crazy enough to bid on this lot.
I have AU $356.00 burning a hole in my pocket, Plus i actually live in australia.
I'm going to bid $100.12.

Meh, screw it.
Buy one for one hand, and then the other 38 in case you mess up trying to convert one to fit onto the other hand.
People would look better with a pair of gloves.
Why 39 gloves?
