Weeee let's have some fun with Ebay shall we?

<a href='http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3608&item=3058998878' target='_blank'>Nintendo World Championships NES Cartridge</a>
Apparently there is only something like 120 of these carts in existence. They were used for the Nintendo World Championships (duh) and feature Super Mario Bros, Rad Racer and Tetris.

According to this auction the last time a cart like this went on auction it reached $2000 US. I tend to believe him from the quick research I did on the cart...


So yeah, go forth and prosper Ebay users... find weird and cool crap!

    find obscure expensive auctions that only a few people will want, but when they want it, they want it BAD.

    then spend HEAPS of money on it to boost its cost up, and leave, so the suckers who want it bad have to pay heaps more

    hehehe

    Only 10 in existence. It went for $1500 US.

    Rare games are always the best finds I think ^_^

    I'm one of those people that through some sheer twist of luck, would buy something that only 10 in the world were made of, mint in box in original shrink-wrap, and would get it at some unbelievably low price, go 'cool' and open the box.

    I was there! I got to play on this cart when it came through town.

    Man I wish they would do one of those again...

    It was so awesome! It was like a Nintendo only E3!! They had game demos out of games that wouldn't be out for another year (or more)!

    Super Mario Bros 3, River City Ransom, and more, all before it was out anywhere, and I got to play it! I even got to crash SMB3! :D

    That poked my eye for some reason, remembered suddenly the Indiana Jones movie.

    Annoying part is there that every item has caption like this: SUPERB BRITISH ADMIRALS HAT@@LOOK@@
    And description minimun font size is 24 most likely. Gets really hard to read and I wouldnt trust too much buying stuff when guy is writing like 12 year old CS hax playa.

    BWAHAHAHAA

    I can't believe they'd let this thing be privately owned :> seems like it'd be very illegal for someone to own such a weapon.

    anyone remember the "giant cheeto" craze on ebay? that was pretty funneh. first, someone selling a giant mutant cheeto. then, people selling pictures of the giant cheeto. then people selling pictures of people looking at and being dumbfounded by the giant cheeto. t-shirts, etc., ensued. too bad I can't find anything interesting and cheeto-related anymore <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    etc...

    if you have $700+ and you think the best thing to do with it is buy virtual items... you need a spanking.

    I once saw one guy was selling a pack of 100 maps for CS on Ebay (they weren't even his, none of them). I'll need to see if I can dig that link up.
