Do you happen to have an a few extra bucks lying around? Let me rephrase that…do you have an extra kidney you could sell? Because that’s what it’ll take to get your hands on this rare NES title currently up for bids on eBay.
User menaceone recently listed a factory sealed copy of Stadium Events, which was released in 1987. It has been authenticated by the Video Game Authority and placed inside a UV safe plastic case for preservation. As of this writing, a total of 62 bids have come in, pushing the final sale price up to a whopping $90,000 (and climbing)! Unfortunately for menaceone , these are likely gag-offers being used to artificially inflate the price for entertainment purposes.
