Seriously, if this is how much its worth, why not just buy the arcade machine? Geez...

My List. Remember, everything can be bought, for a price.

good god... I had no idea Donkey Kong was worth that much... Digital Press says it's worth $4... I'm just confused now...

4$ loose.
The auction is on a sealed game.

But: I didn't know that it was so rare, too.

yes, $4 loose, but complete usually doubles the value, making $8, sealed kicks it up some more. but not $1000....

But some people must badly have to have that. It already has 21 bids.
1009$, that's nearly twice as much as infamous chewbaca4 got for his NIB NES console some days before.

Maybe digitpress is wrong sometimes... :?:

Well, it seems there were some box revisions, that is the more rare one, so it does have more value than digital press is stating, but not $1000

Well it's worth that much to whoever wins it and that's all that counts. I'm interested to see how high this ends. Normally you'd expect a bidding war in the last few minutes to push the price right up on an auction like this.

Even when it's not "worth" it... people pay it. :shock:

That's capitalism. Maybe there are a few people who already own all the other versions and badly need that last one, too.

And "worth" is always in the eyes of the beholder.
The material alone would perhaps not be worth 4$ by today's standards...

well, I suppose if you're that serious about owning every variation, and have the money to spare then more power to you... just not worth it in my opinion.

Well that Donkey Kong auction has ended early, probably because of an outside bid the seller decided to take. A shame as we'll never know how much it went for now.
