Spendy Nintendo
Just saw a story about someone offering a Nintendo on eBay -- and it went for something like 13K! It was an odd model.
Apparently there's quite a demand for this particular model -- I think it said that folks have paid 10K for the box.
Go figure.

I know we all try to be successful and make a lot of money in our lives, but if I ever get to the point where I am ABLE to pay that much for a video game, I hope I am wise enough NOT to......
People who spend money like that makes me want to tax rich people more and that is saying a lot.

A) Buy $25 worth of kool aid
B) Trade it for drugs
C) Go to the liquor store and exchange your kids food coupons for malt liquor at $0.20 on the dollar
D) Try and buy $25 worth of lotto tickets and when the manager refuses to accept food stamps call him a racist honkey.
You need to cut them off till they stop having babies. Maybe offer the females a carton of Newports in exchange for having their tubes tied. hell offter them a new cadillac it'll work better than what we're doing now.

Update
Somebody else was about to toss a copy of Stadium Games. Somehow he heard that it might be valuable.
His was still plastic wrapped and had a 29 dollar price tag
Sold it for $40,000.00!
I cannot, for the life of me, figure what would make people pay this kind of money for a video game -- that will never be used. It's their money, they can do whatever they want with it. But, as Kelly Bundy once said, "The mind wobbles"

Honestly, to those people, it's no different than a classic car collector buying a car at auction for 150k and then parking it in a garage forever, never driving it, never sitting in it...just HAVING it, that's what they care about.
There are things I'd rather spend my money on, but hey, to each his own.

"A fool and his money are soon parted." Lot of truth in that saying.
I, on the other hand, spend my money on vintage drums. I just picked up a 42 year old snare drum and even used it in the gig this past Saturday night.
