A sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. has been sold for a hefty amount on eBay – $30,100.44 to be exact. The seller, a longtime retro game dealer based in Pennsylvania called DKOldies, put the game up on the auction site with a starting bid of $1 with no reserve. The game is in pretty much perfect condition (as you can see below) and it’s also worth noting that it’s a very early copy of the very popular NES game. Kotaku reached out to the seller who informed them that the buyer has now paid for the item. The buyer also bought from the same seller a sealed copy of Kid Icarus which sold for over $10,000.
I’d rather have my left nutsack chopped off than pay $39,100.44 for Super Mario Bros!
You have two nutsacks?
Shhh
Damn. What an amazing collectible to have.
It’s not worth 30k!!! I have two copies of the games, one CIB near mint and the other loose. I couldn’t get nowhere close to 30k…. not sure what makes his copy so special..
I might reseal my breath the wild game, ( cartridge not included and flog it in 30 yrs time) they’d never know:)
when you’re rich and have nothing better to spend your money on.
Wow, that guy got ripped so bad. It clearly states on the box that it normally costs 27 dollars.
Funniest part, the buyer will never open that game. Seller knows that, there could be NES Top Gun inside. I guess we’ll never know.
30 k for mario?
Why oh why didn’t I keep all this crap in mint condition?
Most copies of the game sale for less than $100.00. Thats near mint complete in the box. Not sure why the game being factory sealed has increased its value by $29,900. Somebody got ripped the fuck off. You can buy an entire NES collection mint in the box for 30k.
