A Video Game Sells For One Thousand Dollars

Okay, it didn't sell for exactly a grand. Just a little over to be precise at the cool price of $1,025.01.

No, that isn't for a new plasma television or for an electric guitar or maybe repairs on the car. This is $1,025.01 for an unopened video game!

As The Escapist amusingly oberserved:
Y'know, the interesting thing is ... if someone is that passionate about Earthbound, they aren't buying this game because they want to play it - no, they probably already own (and love) it. Whoever purchased Earthbound for over a grand probably did so because they wanted to own a pure and unopened copy of the game to look at and lovingly stroke for the rest of their lives.

That's kind of crazy. But then again, so are Earthbound fans.
Well, all collectors are a little crazy, aren't they? But they're the ones paying the big bucks for Roseville pottery and other collectibles.

They're buying our stuff on eBay so we can't complain!

... but a grand for a Super Nintendo game? Really? Really???

Well, if you dig out a sealed copy of Earthbound from your closet. You know where to bring it!
