I took the liberty of copying and pasting it. A guy/kid that writes like this has just struck it rich. "This is the Stadium Events Games NTSC which is still sealed inside the plastic wrap. In my posession here is probably the one and last SEAL brand new Stadium Events game on Earth. I nearly crap in my pants when i found out what this is worth and the rarity of this item. Well you big time collectors i think this is what you guys are waiting for and looking for. Please do not email me with Low Ball offers. Good bidding on this game and may the best bidder wins."

Originally Posted By ecdc Presuming there's at least one bidder that's serious, someone just changed their life with a video game. 14 minutes left and sitting at a cool $800,200. Even if it goes for half that...wow. Kudos to the seller. The bidder needs their head checked, but kudos to the seller.

Originally Posted By SuperDry I question whether that is a legitimate bid. Sometimes when these crazy auctions get enough publicity, people come out of the woodwork to make phony bids just because they think it's funny.

I will only take serious inquiries and offers only now and will not answer anyone with a yellow star rating. The two highest bidders was little kids that are sitting on their butts with pepperoni face pimples that have no lives. Now if you guys want to really make a offer please email me an offer and i will answer as many questions as possible." Current bid: $3,150

If you haven't already, put The King of Kong at the top of your Netflix queue. It's not about collectible games, but about the world of classic video games and their records. I imagine most of you have seen it, but if you haven't, get on it.
