Someone Killed the BIN. Posibibly will go higher than the $30k. But seller has basically no seller feedback which is sketchy
If it gets any press the bidding will probably go nuts from people with no intention of paying. Sad, but that's the way interesting auctions seem to play out all to often.

Yea but I am sure his inbox is flooded with side offers. $30k isn't a crazy price on this, correct?
No, his was a 75, and if I'm not mistaken was sold to an overseas buyer circa 2012ish I believe. His had a really noticably misplaced hangtab that was really low and crooked (about 45 degrees).
^^^ Actually, maybe not---doesn't have the same nick on front---
The Richman-Gordman copy with sticker removed was my first though, but if not the same markings, then where did this one come from?
Its not Bronty's or Phishor's old copy, so is there now 4 known?
Like any other collector except current owners, I sure hope it is a new copy. I'm still waiting for someone to post "oh, that's _____ copy" and solve the mystery of whether this is a new or old find, too. Also really curious becuase once a previous post mentioned the location in Washington, I looked it up and it is 130 miles from where my cart only copy was found "in the wild" in 2013 (Port Angeles, WA). I want to say that somewhere in a SE thread or article I read that these were only released or made it into certain regions of the country (want to say Northeast) and perhaps were also limited in retailer (Woolworth's?). ***Someone please correct me if any of that is wrong as I don't have the time to search and confirm right now. Anyways, Washington was one place I remembered becuase that was where my copy was found. I thought it was an odd coincidence when I saw that this one was in Washington, but in a good way if it's a new copy and those other facts add up. Neat regardless, and I think it's real unless the pics are stolen or something. Seller feedback is always a concern, but realistically this seller could be similar to me in that I have rare stuff but almost no ebay seller feedback, only as a buyer, and otherwise no credit unless you check my NA feedback.
Who the fuck passed up a $30k BIN??????? Sell your car, your wife, your mom if you have to. We should be reading about this in the OHSHIT I GOTTA STEAL thread a week from now.
I think it's a "new" copy. Chad did tell me about a new copy being graded some time ago but obviously for privacy couldn't say who owned it or anything

To be fair, if I was an NES collector spending $30k, I'd rather have bought the $26k Gold NWC last week. NWCs are much more liquid than VGA.
I guess we'll see where the bidding goes though! Hopefully stays legit with no troll bids. I assume a nice CIB would be about $15-$20k, so I'd expect this to be $35-40k range. Just a guess though!

I don't have a VGA account, but you can probably verify the serial number of 76523899 if you do.

Maybe I should go up there and take a looksie for myself.
Isn't this Feedback's old copy?
