      Going to point out that actual boxed copies of just Super Mario Bros. Is actually on the more rare side, since it was quickly bundled with the NES and the version with Duck Hunt came out pretty quickly.

      It may have sold 30 million copies, but a large majority of them are either the Duck Hunt combo or the one with Duck Hunt and World Class Track Meet. Kinda the same way Stadium Events is that much more rare because of the bundled, renamed version.

      That being said, people have too much fucking money…

        Yeah, I didnt even know until just now that there was a retail package release of Super Mario Bros, by itself, without duckhunt.

        cause I thought it was just a packin game with the nes.

        I can see why its rare, but its stupid that someone paid 3 million for it.

          Only reason I know is because I’ve been collecting since I was a kid. I’ve got three loose copies, shame they’re not worth anything… I’d be happy to separate some stupid people from their money.

            yeah.

            I feel the same way about all my 1st and 2nd gen pokemon games, open, but complete in box.

            I’ll probably never play the physical games again, since emulation is so much easier (and eats less batteries)…but on the otherhand, they are childhood memories and its not something i want to hand over to some greedy fuckwit whose just gonna sit on them for 6 months and flip them for 30% profit.
