The person who posted this has already declined over 100 buy offers. People aren't crazy enough to pay $75,000 for this.

Seriously? I could understand the price if it was something like This.

Bow low, you stand before a head crowned.

Why?...Just why?

For $95 000 you could attract the genuine affections of a woman.

The outrageous prices for this game have been going on for a while now. I still remember it went for about 5k a few years back and that was already insane. The only people that would buy this are investors that want to sell it for a profit or super determined video game collectors.

Never "threw out" any games. Sold some in a yard sale, though...but not anything that ended up being worth anything.

It is a rare game, I wonder if the games I have if any will be worth anything like this in 20 years.

Small chance, most people are hanging on to their old games nowadays because they know it might be worth something some day. With some luck some of the games you own might be worth over $ 150,- by then if it's in complete and good condition.

I just wonder how much longer before all our games succumb to bitrot =(

I already have two or three Atari 2600 games that are afflicted...though part of that might be because I bought them over the Internet, and they sat in a super hot mailbox all day.
