Already got one....

What amazes me is the 66 bids. Whats even more amazing is that another auction prompted this and another auction for the same model of cartridge.
That tells me the economy is better then we are led to believe.LOL.

It's up to $100,088.00, & 71 bids.

Maybe Nintendo wants it for its museum? Boggles my mind that people have that kinda money for something like this..

I can think of 71 people that should be publicly flogged right now!

Oh that gave me a good chuckle. Yeah, 90% of the time I see people spending insane money on some pretty silly stuff and I can understand where they are coming from but this one I am really struggling with.

The gold cartridge is extremely rare. There were only 25 made and given away as a promotion in Nintendo power magazine in like 1987 or so. There was one on pawn stars that was appraised at 100k I believe
