Has the world gone mad?

I still whistle the tunes from that game, but £8k? Must be worth that much to the buyer, just hope it stays wrapped

The postage is quite reasonable....

'I would rate the box and cellophane between 8.7 and 9.2..............'

That's getting a bit wierd. I've always felt that collectors are odd. My hornby three rail trains and my triang ones are worth very litle, not because I played with them as a kid but because I don't have the boxes anymore.

Added to watch list, just to see how high it actually goes...

oh yes, although the surprise was spoilt a little when I came downstairs Xmas eve when supposed to be sleeping to find my parents along with several alcohol fueled friends 'testing' the snes before wrapping it up. Just meant I was too excited to sleep as I was so happy/lucky to get a snes

happy days!


Confused but excited. - 22/11/12 at 08:44 PM

Who do you think is bidding, Leonard or Sheldon?


roadrunner - 22/11/12 at 09:07 PM

I still have mine, and the Snes in it's box with loads of other games all still in there boxes.

I might buy myself some cellophane tomorrow and start wrapping.


jonabonospen - 22/11/12 at 09:14 PM

That is ridiculous. How can it possibly be worth that much?! I wonder if the buyer knew it would reach those sorts of amounts of if he has just got a nice surprise after finding it under the bed having forgotten to give it to the kids one year


Stott - 22/11/12 at 09:18 PM

Old nes games and Atari games boxed go for more iirc there was one that went for over 20k

I still have my snes and loads of games all working, no boxes tho!

Went in my parents attic last week and found all my old 1977 Star Wars toys in their boxes and my old Commodore 64 Boxed.
Even found a Boxed Corgi James Bond Aston Martin DB5.
You gotta love your parents storing all your old toys in their original boxes - my kids won't be able to say that about me!
eBay here we come!

I have a mate who, shall we say is 'socially challenged'. At 41 he met his first girlfriend who also had a 13 year old son. My mate couldn't decide what to buy the son for Christmas so toddled off to Toys R Us and bought every games console that was current at the time along with all the games! He also showered his girlfriend (of just a few weeks) with flowers every day, and expensive gifts whenever he went to see her. This freaked her out slightly so she dumped him just before Christmas. All the games consoles and games are still in my mates loft, still gift wrapped..... What was current in 1999?

Nintendo 64 / Gamecube
Sega Saturn
Maybe the first Playstation

Not entirely sure

My girlfriend got an old SNES working and bought a couple of games for me for my b'day a couple of years ago. Mario Kart on the SNES is still one of my favourite games.

However, this was with my CRT telly. On the new (4.5 yrs now) flatscreen TV it won't tune in for some reason I'm unable to fathom. Most annoying!

PC/SNES emulator time?

Cheers,
James

You can probably make it do composite out, so it won't need tuning.

this might be worth a look.

my aunt gave it to me a couple of years back as she found it in a cupboard when moving!

Hmmm the world has gone mad!

I have an Amiga CD32, in the original box with all the accessories, not sure if that's worth anything, they failed miserably!
