Rare Video Games & Collectibles on eBay: Sealed Stadium Events, M8, M82, Atari Demo Unit, and a $200 Ruler

Here are some rare video games, systems, promo items, and collectibles that I’m watching on eBay.  I love the fact that eBay is essentially a live museum of video gaming rarity.  Happy retro gaming and good luck collecting!

$$$$ — For the Video Game Collector with an Unlimited Budget

FACTORY SEALED NEW NES NINTENDO STADIUM EVENTS NTSC If you’re not aware of this auction (currently at $41,300.00 USD with 3 hours to go), then you’re missing out on the world’s most expensive video game auction to date.

Stadium Events Nes game What will be equally interesting will be to see if history repeats itself with this auction for another copy of a sealed Stadium Events.  It’s currently at $7,300.00 USD with 3 days to go…but seems a bit sketchy.

$$$ — For the Collector Whose Grandma Just Died (Or Who Has a Job and a Budget)

**** Atari 2600 Game *** Coke Wins – Pepsi Invaders *** Apparently Coca-Cola used this custom 2600 promo cartridge to allow users to dominate the minions of Pepsi.  I think that’s simply awesome. (Ended March 6, 2010 at $2125.00 USD)

Nintendo NES M8 Kiosk Store Display Unit This original Nintendo display unit predates the M82.  The seller is certainly asking a pretty penny for it, but at least he has the best offer feature going.

Nintendo M82 Game Selectable Working Product Display This crazy dude is asking a freakish amount of $35,000.00 USD or best offer for this thing.  Clearly he’s out of his mind.  They run about $1,000 USD for the unit.  However, it is rare to find in the box. (Ended March 28, 2010 at $9000.00 USD)

Rare Nintendo Store Display Machine M82 These display units are fantastic.  They’re certainly on my wish list.

Rare 1982 Atari VCS Store Demo 45 Games plus slot WORKS Starting the bid at $99.00 USD, this seems like a fair opportunity for Atari collectors to pick one of these up. (Ended March 8, 2010 at $338.33 USD)

Nintendo Mario Soda Store Display Promo Signs NES Expensive, but a great Nintendo promo item none the less.

Nintendo GameCube Donkey Kong Kiosk Display Setup

EarthBound Promotional Ruler Super Nintendo SNES Promo! There’s nothing like spending hundreds of dollars on a ruler…yes, a simple wood ruler. (Update: Sold for $776.47 USD on Feb. 28, 2010)

Starfox Super Weekend Super Nintendo SNES RARE (Ended March 3, 2010 at $304.69 USD)

Rare New Game Boy Micro Console Pokemon Limited Edition (Ended March 3, 2010 at $235.50 USD)

Yellow Zelda test cart – NES – very rare – NM condition (Ended at $550.00 USD)

N64 Nintendo Fiber Optic Sign kiosk store display unit (Ended Feb 25, 2010 at $295.00 USD)

$$ — For the Game Collector with Some B-day Money from Grandma

5 MARIO BROTHERS COOKIE CUTTERS WILTON 1989 NINTENDO (Ended Feb 26, 2010 at $20.00 USD)

Sega Genesis Controller Modified for use with Vectrex As I’ve recently become a Vectrex collector, I’m impressed to find unique Vectrex items on eBay.  Perhaps most impressive about this auction is the manual that this guy created to go with his item. (Ended Feb 27, 2010 at $39.99 USD)

Nintendo Legend of Zelda Link PVC Figure 1989 Applause (Ended Feb 27, 2010 at $14.77 USD)

Bioshock Big Daddy limited edition figure from the xbox (Ended Feb 28, 2010 at $31.00 USD)

Nintendo World Championships 1990 Certificate With all the Stadium Events fever, it’s starting to feel like the NWC Cart is so last week.  Anyone have an idea of how this affects the sales of other rare video games? (Ended Feb 28, 2010 at $34.00 USD)

My Rare Video Game Finds: 3 New Sealed Games Including Samurai Shodown

While out thrift shopping at a local flea market this past weekend, I was lucky enough to find a number of vintage video games.  Among them were 3 new sealed games!  It was a good day for retro video game hunting…

  • Super Star Wars Return of the Jedi Super Nintendo SEALED
  • 007 World is Not Enough N64 Nintendo 64 Game SEALED NEW
  • Samurai Shodown Warrior’s Rage Playstation Game SEALED — This game is super rare.  Although sealed, it’s a shame that it has a hole drilled in the spine.

Rare Video Games & Collectibles on eBay: Vectrex Light Pen & 3-D Imager, StarFox Competition Cart, Sexy Nintendo Poster?

Here’s a bunch of retro gaming awesomeness that I’m watching on eBay!  Talk about some great potential additions to the collection.  I just wish I (a) could afford it all and (b) had room for it.  Maybe you’ll find something for a little vintage holiday shopping or just be like me and drool over your keyboard.  Happy holidays!

Rare Video Games:

2 Rare Super Nintendo Snes Star Fox Competition + Ninja Awesome to find these in this condition.  Could this guy have picked an uglier backdrop to photograph the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy?

Unique & Possibly Rare Video Game Collectibles:

OFFICIAL NINTENDO FAMILY COMPUTER TISSUE HOLDER UNUSED Clever…not a bad idea to make yourself if you have an extra broken top loader or SNES.

NINTENDO BOX OF 48 GAME PACKS 1989 TOPPS Stuff like this always seems reasonable priced…heck it’s essentially what we paid as a kid.  I’m always tempted to buy some.

Nintendo Advertising poster Who knew Nintendo could be sexy!?  Or disturbing…

Light Pen + AnimAction + Art Master +Melody Vectrex LOT While the rest of these are all auctions that I’m simply watching, this one is actually an auction I’m running.  However, given the rarity of this accessory, it would be a shame not to feature it.  It must be Christmas, because these things rarely appear on eBay, and another seller is also auctioning off one as well (link below).

Vectrex 3D Imager – Original 80’s Rare Retro GCE MB VGC I happen to have one of these.  I honestly believe it’s 3-D technology is better than the Master System’s 3D glasses and the Virtual Boy.  It’s super rare, so it’ll be going for a pretty penny.

Rare Video Games & Collectibles on eBay: Big Daddy Costume, Kiosks, Mike Tyson Life-Sized Cardboard Cutout

It is wrong that I spend more time collecting video games than playing them?  I think this first auction proves that actually playing video games is just a fraction of the entertainment they provide.

This Costume is Amazing!

Bioshock Big Daddy costume / replica This costume is simply phenomenal!  Yes, the drill arm works!  The costume itself weights 50-60 and is sheer awesomeness.  Someone please buy this and wear it to Comic-Con 2010 so that I can see it in person!  Check out the full build process.  Check out some recent photography.

Unique & Rare Video Game Collectibles

Nintendo NES Mike Tyson Lifesize Punchout Display 1988 Not only is this cutout super awesome, but you better believe it’s going to sell for a ton.  Within 12 hours of the start of the auction, it already broke $100 USD, and I’m sure that price has a lot higher to go!  (Update:  This sold by eBay seller “cardinalscoop“on Dec. 6, 2009 for $445 USD + s/h! That’s one expensive chunk of cardboard!)

*GREEN KIOSK CONTROLLER* Nintendo 64 w/ Rumble RARE!! What’s interesting here is that the rumble pack received power through the controller itself and didn’t require batteries.  Curses upon Nintendo for having that technology and making us waste all those batteries…
