In case the recent video of Buzz Aldrin snuggling in zero gravity with a guy in a Mario costume wasn't enough proof, here's another piece of evidence that proves, given enough time, the house always wins. The Gamecube belonging to one Gary Coleman, star of the small screen, is now up for grabs on eBay. Yeah, the GameCube, the same system you can get for a song and an egg salad sandwich at your local GameStop.
Of course, this listing doesn't just teach us a valuable lesson about life. We also learn that at one point, Gary Coleman purchased Robots. So, you know, maybe getting rid of his GameCube was for the best.
[Thanks, Dustin]

I agree too, that picture is sad. :( After looking at some of the seller's past auctions, though, I don't think that this is really Gary Coleman selling his Gamecube. As others have already suggested, it's probably someone who got Gary to sign a GCN and some games.
Geez and did the signing take place in a motel room or something? I think I see a bed behind Gary there! And is that a passport to the right of his arm in the pic?

Someone should really make sure he uses his Neutrogena before he gets photographed.

I hear his radio ads for those Pay Day Loan type places. Someone give the guy some money before he gets someone else to get a loan at 250% interest.
Come on he made you giggle when you were a kid! You can't put a price on that! But you can try!

As soon as I saw that picture Ashey Larry was the very first thing to come to mind. +1 for you my good man, but I would have to go Ashey Larry < Gary Coldman (barely)

I feel sorry for some of those hasbeens, then I remember I'm struggling financially through college and curse at them for being able to sell an old system with their name on it for stupid prices.

I honestly didn't know anyone still cared about Gary Coleman.

What is up (with that listing)? It's almost too painful (to read). The guy who wrote it should lay off the parenthesis ('cause they're unnecessary).

I believe there is a part in Avenue Q where Kate monster says to the Gary Coleman character, "And Gary, you keep selling your possessions on eBay." "Yes, I do!"

After Buzz Aldrin and Gary Coleman, I hope for more Nintendo news from celebrities who has punched people in the face! Come on, Sean "Diddy" Combs!

My gf and I just saw Avenue Q, (in case you don't know it's a play mocking Sesame Street), and Gary Coleman is a character. The lady who plays him basically makes him out to be a nice guy but the biggest loser on Earth.
Yeah and there are jokes about how he sells his stuff on eBay, oh man. We were actually talking about feeling bad for him 10 minutes ago, and now I read this. What a shame.
