WTT: Video Game for Szam

wow, is it that valuable. You are better off just selling it then and buying cue for cash dollars
 
Looks like I will now have to trade for Bushka... you guys should have given up the Szam when you had a chance.
 
Wow, looks like you're a national news topic! Just googled the game and the auction is all over the place.

Congrats on the amazing item and good luck!
 
Yes, this is the real thing. I know the basics of the story. Nintendo had a World Championship and had these games made just for that purpose. The 4 sliders in the upper left hand corner ID either the game or the user of the game. There were only a hand full of these made and they are as rare as it gets for the Nintendo collector. This is their Golden Buska and the right collector with deep pockets will not flinch at the current price. This is History boys............
 
This is not actually my item. I just wanted to show off another hobby and how much people will pay for something "they" value.
Pretty crazy if you ask me.

Not sure if some people are just bidding w/o the intention of buying just to hype up the item/story, but at this point it's going to be well over 100k. Think that if this seller was serious, he would have it at a auction house, cause transactions at that cost almost never occur on Ebay.

"Almost never" is an interesting amount of times.

Maybe the seller was interested in paying the $250 max sales commission that eBay offered rather than the upwards of 30% charged by most "reputable" auction houses,
 
i have been looking for this game for the past 15 years.......I AM SO GLAD I FINALLY OWN IT....:wink:
 
That is just unreal!!!! I pretty much thought this thread was a joke, but the joke was on me(and several others, I'm sure).

I had no earthly idea something like this could cost so much. No telling what it would've brought without the torn label and an unknown ID number.

Still in shock, Jerry

Most likely what happened is the seller has multiple accounts and pumped and shill bid his own item or had multiple friends/other people bid on it repeatedly. You never see items that have 300+ bids within a one day period going from $5k to 100k especially when it started on sale 1/18 with no bids and then all of a sudden 6 days later 300+ bids within that 24 hour period lol...it shows so much interest and the other "bidders" will remain anonymous to other people so he can make it look like it has a tons of interest.
 
Don't laugh.. there are gamers that are thinking spending 2500 on a cue is nuts.

BTW as a side note... these are the guys that grew up in the 90's and took your jobs recently... at least those that have jobs... :)

I wonder if on the gamers forum there are any... can you ID this cartridge for me? Or Does the NES stock controller have to much squirt and throws Mario off the mushroom?

100% accurate. There are countless more hardcore gamers out there then poolplayers. It's a billion dollar industry and some of those guys drop thousands on game collections in a second. I had a neighbor that owned about a dozen arcade and pinball machines in his gameroom. Was pretty neat.

You may be right or you may be wrong. The item was said to have 5227 watchers. Out of all those, some must have been willing to bid high and most were out of the running the moment the item was listed.

When I see a pool cue that interests me on ebay, there might be 10 or 20 watchers, but 5227.....wow! It's evident that pool doesn't interest most people more than video games.

Just a thought, Jerry
