WHAT THE WHAT!!!?!?!?

Post by Matskat »

I must have woke up in an alternate dimension.

I stumbled on THIS on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bubble-Bobble-P ... 432wt_1396

$20,000 USD

Sealed Bubble Bobble 2 US for the NES.

I.Do.Not.Understand.

I know there is a *small* niche of sealed game collectors, but REALLY!?

The same guy is selling a sealed Mass Effect for....get this....seriously....ready?
$699USD


Mind = Blown

Anybody care to enlighten us as to WTF?

(I get that there are collectors out there....but I must be missing something.)

I think the seller is dreaming of a recently minted silicon stock option nerd, or perhaps a Nicolas Cage of video games, whose grateful manservant has among his many tasks the furnishing of a video game collection that reminds Mr. Moneybags of how he's "just like normal people" too.

Not the first time this sort of thing has been spotted: link (also Skykid's unsealed games attack force thread).

You gotta give those guys credit though, they ain't taking any prisoners with them prices.
