We're not sure which element of this story is the most newsworthy, so we'll lead with this: Some person, somewhere in the world, recently
spent $41,300 on an extremely rare NES game. Someone was perusing the eBay auction block, saw
Stadium Events (which Nintendo bought the rights to and retitled
World Class Track Meet), and said, "you know what? That looks like the kind of thing I'd like to spend an American's
median annual income on."
According to
Video Game Price Charts, that auction has turned
Stadium Events into the most expensive NES game ever sold. There are around 200 copies of the game still floating around out there -- which should be enough to send most of you rushing to your local pawn shop in a
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory-esque tizzy.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
