    Someone posted that the game was up to $43k the other day, well today it is closing, and has jumped all the way up to $800,300 with 9 hours left to bid! How high will this end up going?

    if you look at the bid history, while its around $2000 to $13000 the people bidding have ratings or whatever in the thousands. these are most likely video game or electronics companies with serious interest in owning the game. once it goes past $13000 the bidders are people with only 15-40 feedbacks, most likely just some douchers going wild.

    of all the things that are real in this world, clearly this is not one of them. No fucking way anyone would pay 100k let alone 800k for a fucking video game.

    btw, is this the same game that comes w/ the running pad or was that track and field?

    LOL @ bolded part

    This is the Stadium Events Games NTSC which is still sealed inside the plastic wrap. In my posession here is probably the one and last SEAL brand new Stadium Events game on Earth. I nearly crap in my pants when i found out what this is worth and the rarity of this item. Well you big time collectors i think this is what you guys are waiting for and looking for. Please do not email me with Low Ball offers. Good bidding on this game and may the best bidder wins.

    Yes if you own the box still for Stadium Events. The box alone is supposed to be worth $10k, so if you have that then you have something of value.

    i think the seller is being a little unreasonable with the 6 dollar shipping charge

    I'd make a bid, but there is no way I'm paying 6 dollars for shipping

    where do you think those pics came from? they don't look photoshopped to me.

    I'm not saying that they're going get paid 800k or even the dude that crapped his pants really owns that game or anything, but the pics look authentic to me.

    This happens all the time on EBAY. Most likely the bids up to 43K were real. Because it is new in box and never been played. One just sold a couple weeks ago for 13K.

    Once places like yahoo run the story, and the whole world knows, any idiot with an ebay account can bid on it, thus running the price up to a ridiculous amount.

    If the seller was smart, he would have restricted the bidding to people that are pre qualified. Most likely he will do that the next time around and it prolly will sell for 40K+.
