Man finds sealed 1987 Nintendo game worth $10,000 in attic

The game cartridge of "Kid Icarus" was still in the bag with the receipt from three decades ago.

[Smokehouse]

Nice! Good for him.

[Fluttershy77]

With $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things... like... love!

[Sophisticated_Chap]

On what street?

[ChrisW]

@Sophi,

On 69th and Cummings St, obviously!!!

[FRUTZK]

Saddens me that no one got this reference hahaha

[badz149]

Zimbabwean love?

[badz149]

and in other news, Nintendo is trying to find a way to sell Remastered Gamecube's games for the Switch for $10,000 a piece.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Pit is the Man! (Or kid?)

[PLAYER5095]

Would you guys sell or keep?

[Si-Fly]

You’d be mental not to sell

[Concertoine]

Might be worth 20 grand another 10 years from now

[Neonridr]

@Concertoine - but then you get sucked into that mentality of just waiting another year to see if it goes up in price. Sure it might be worth more, but it might not. That $10,000 could be used for something now. Plus he didn't know he had it, so it's like winning $10,000 in the lottery.

[The 10th Rider]

@Corcertoine,

Or it might not.

Plus you could invest $10,000 over 10 years and end up with $25,000 pretty easily.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

It'd be sold before I finished typing this comme

[Dirtnapstor]

😆😆😆

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Sell game AF

[harmny]

Sell and buy bitcoin

[Fist4achin]

Collectibles are cool and all, but i have had the issue of finding people interested in buying some things.

[Necr0philiac]

It's not worth 10k and has never sold for that much. He might be able to get 2k for it.
@PLAYER5095 I would sell it. Most nes games are losing value the last couple years except for a few rare titles

[Dragonscale]

Sell

[Fluttershy77]

Nostalgic man-child collectors are probably drooling over this.
Sell. The price might go up but I doubt it (I don't even believe this price is real)

[Omnisonne]

If you needed any motivation to clean out your dusty attic, this would be it..

[nowitzki2004]

My luck, Ill clean my attic and find some major repairs I have to do lol

[gangsta_red]

My luck I would clean out my attic and find dusty old CD-i games

[Bhuahahaha]

i tried but all i see are used condoms AHAHAHAHHA

[DanielEndurance]

That's like half of a new car...

[telgou]

He is going to split it with his sister, and go to for a disneyland vacation.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

I have a physical copy if any one wants to buy for $10k, pm me

[Dirtnapstor]

That’s awesome. Glad this type of thing can happen.

[DaniMacYo]

$10,000 better than nothing. Seems kinda low but I don’t how you price these classics. But that’s still a nice amount of money anyhow.

[rainslacker]

I feel for the poor kid from 30 years ago that didnt get this under the tree for Christmas

Also...10 grand for something that's been sitting in a non temperature controlled attic for 30 years? I dont think a pristine copy would even go for that much.maybe 5 if it was rated, and possibly tested to even see if it still works. NES carts can go bad

[XxINFERNUSxX]

I wouldn't sell it yet, hold on to it because it will only go up in price :D

[drizzom]

Angry Video Game Nerd would like to know your location

[timotim]

That's awesome!

[AK91]

Congrats to this man

[gangsta_red]

Christmas is saved! Thanks Nintendo!

[JonTheGod]

Not quite in the same league, but I got £140 for Knuckles Chaotix for my 32X. Sold Streets of Rage 3 for £90 too. Overall, I got £800 credit at CEX for my Megadrive, 32X, and 16 games. It funded my PSVR pruchase and all the accessories and games for the last year.

[GrizToof]

It's really unfortunate that people are willing to spend so much money on a game that in reality is worth $50 or so. Dont take it the wrong way if I found this I'd rip someone off on Ebay and sell it for ten grand as well. So I am happy for him but not happy of what's become of the game collecting scene.

[contra157]

Wowowow

[Knuckle Duster]

That’s awesome for them! That was a fun ass game when I was in 7th grade!

[QuePasa87]

10K would be huge enough for me that I would absolutely sell it vs collecting lol
