I was thinking the same thing, but I gotta know...how much? @Retro_Raiden ?

It was enough to make a dent in my bank account balance lol. For the game £143.57 + £39.62 postage so £183.19 overall. I know it's crazy but it's the most unique item in my collection and I am never selling it.

That's a lot of £££££$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

Wow! I guess they were wearing a mask when they took the money? But its something of an exceptional piece of video game heritage never to be possibility equaled ever again, cherish it and show it of with extreme pride!!!

I don't think its toooo bad! Considering some 'rare' games on ebay go for thousands, and it is a piece of history, nice one enjoy it!

Yeah I did say to myself this is nothing compared to some of the "rare" game prices out there which are in the thousands for some stupid reason but what's crazy is I'm trying to get another as more have popped up on ebay lol.

Its a lot of cash but like above... its real history and i am sure it will grow in value.. Nice to see someone that picked some up though.

It sure is plenty of money but, as has been noted, it is peanuts compared to what some games go for and this is indeed a piece of history.  :)

Just so you guys know there are more on ebay right, cartridge only but there going for a lot less then what I paid for my one. I guess it's because everyone thought only a limited number of them were going on but I've been told another couple of hundred still need to be put onto ebay.
