I'm just browsing through eBay, and noticed this:

Holy cow! $3,650?!? Don't get me wrong, I understand the game is
rare under regular circumstances, and an unopened is a huge find
but...

The last auction I heard that had a stratospheric price like that was
a copy of the Mr. Boston Clean Sweep (that's was the ultra rare
Vectrex game, right?).

Someone's gonna have a very Merry Christmas this year.

$5,250
Unbelievable. Has any 2600 game ever come close to that?

Not that I can recall and I've seen a few prototype and Air Raid go for a
lot. I think NES 1990 champiopnship cart is the only other game that went
over 5 grands.

Now where did I part that DeLorean I swiped from Doc Brown? I need to go
back in time, grab a few of these sealed (and other 10's sealed) and then
sell it today.

I wonder what the FVF are on eBay for that game.

And $3.25 first class postage. For the price they paid,
he ought to at least get Priority...^_^

I know right?!? I'd want that thing super insured against everything
but sharks, bears and children under 3 (actual warning from a
flashlight my dad used to own).

So what happened to the flashlight? Was it a shark, bear or kid that got it
in the end?

So the manufacturers were wise to put the warning on then!
