[Birdo]

I assume this is the one that Ben Heck got working.

To be honest, it should have been left in original condition. Even if it wasn't working.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

This'll be interesting to watch. Already at $48k.

 

[Flintty]

Lets get a sweepstakes going.

I'll bet a pack of Hobnobs it'll go for $228k

 

[dolabla]

Holy moly, $48,000? I think I'll pass

Interested to see what it gets up to.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I would never sell this.

Freaking millennial's.

 

[Grinchy]

I would sell this in a heartbeat.

Freaking boomer's.

Ok, coomer. Make sure you buy copious amounts of tendies!

 

[Grinchy]

What I'd buy for myself, my wife, her boyfriend, and their child is none of your concern.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Wonder if Sony will buy it?

 

[garballax]

Wonder if Sony will buy it?

I would love to see Nintendo and Sony in a bidding war over this thing. that's the console war I'd like to see!

 

[jshackles]

Didn't the guy say he turned down offers of $1m? I hope, for his sake, this goes higher.

 

[DESTROYA]

Didn't the guy say he turned down offers of $1m? I hope, for his sake, this goes higher.

Who cares how much it goes for, either way he’s going to get a lot of money for a plastic box, hope it doesn’t go higher than what it is now.
The guy saying he turned down a $1m offer is probably BS , probably trying to inflate or drive up the price.
If someone is stupid enough to buy this good for them .

 

[Vawn]

They should make a new season of Fringe where they visit the alternate timeline where this gets released.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

am i right that there has never been a leaked game actually produced for this?

a shame because it would be so rad if there was a SNES-CD version of Secret of Mana. alas...

 

[McCheese]

So when does the $1million USD Wu-tang clan game come out for this thing?

 

[FeiRR]

If the auction goes the way it seems, I'll be able to say I saw the most expensive console in history in person. Unfortunately, it was in a glass cabinet so no touching

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Who even needs this again?

 

[SpiceRacz]

I've played and held that damn thing.

 

[jshackles]

Bids are up to $145,000. Impressive.

 

[Flintty]

I've played and held that damn thing.

That’s cool. What did you think of it?

 

[-Arcadia-]

So, who else read it as the Nintendo/PlayStation autism is now live?

Too used to console warriors.

Well most console warriors do act like they are autistic.

 

[jshackles]

$280,000 and climbing...

 

[siekro1983]

shit this will hit a million the guy is one happy SOB.

 

[Max_Po]

Fascinating price of history.

 

[ChuyMasta]

Ok, coomer. Make sure you buy copious amounts of tendies!

Ohh crap. Found a WSB reddit user.
One of us! One of us!
$MSFT 2/20 calls!

 

[iHaunter]

$310k.... wow.

 

[Porcile]

Shame it's nothing more than an interesting SNES shell. Like if their was some unique one of a kind software to go with it then that'd cooler.

 

[TLZ]

Thinking of bidding.

 

[Solarstrike]

Holy shit. Over $300k already. How about a nice dust collector to go with that?

[Griffon]

Didnt the owner previously refused a 1m$ bid?
I dont think it will go that high this time.

 

[SpiceRacz]

That’s cool. What did you think of it?

I played a beat 'em up on it and wasn't impressed. It is cool seeing the Playstation logo on a SFC controller though. Not sure why the dude and his dad didn't sell the thing for the million or whatever when they had the chance.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

This fucking thing cost more than my house LOL

 

[kingbean]

The guy turned down an offer for 1 million before the auction. We'll see if he was right to do so.

 

[Pallas]

$360,000 now... if I was rich and had stupid money to throw, I’d still not spend that much on this. It’s really neat and cool but that’s ridiculous.

On another thought, if I was rich, I’d open up my own local game shop and put that baby behind protective display case with electric traps, radioactive laser beams and a few guard dogs to show off.

Seriously though, I want to know who bid $360k

It'll go for more than that.

Lucky Palmer is the $360k bid (per his twitter)

 

[NAI1210]

21 days to go, have they never used ebay before, I wait to the last minute to put my bid in

 

[Spukc]

yeah i am also waiting for the last minute to put my bid in

 

[SimonGosejohann]

It was announced at E3 btw.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Lucky Palmer is the $360k bid (per his twitter)

Isn't he unemployed? He should hang on to that money.

 

[Flintty]

Isn't he unemployed? He should hang on to that money.

He started a new firm and does defence contract work.

Yeah. With most antiques, if you mess with anything it ruins the value. Can't believe this would fetch a ton since it is now a Frankenstein's monster. Stupid!

 

[EightBit Man]

The console has sold for $360,000, including the buyer's premium.

Get rekt!

 

[Grinchy]

The guy said that if he had sold it for $1.2M, then after paying taxes and splitting it 50/50 with his son, his portion would all go to paying off his debt. So he had like $400K in debt or somewhere around that, I'm guessing.

I have no idea why he would turn that down and take a chance on an auction.

Palmer got lucky. That’s a steal.
