A mother hawking an original Nintendo Entertainment System and a handful of games on eBay has unwittingly made a small fortune. The auction for a vintage NES with a controller and five games started at just $9.999, but finished at an unheard of $13,105. Until Sony’s PlayStation surpassed it in the late 1990s, the NES held the world record for video game consoles sold worldwide. Handhelds like the Game Boy and DS aside, the NES still ranks fourth overall, after the PS1, PS2, and Wii. Not bad for a console that was launched on October 15, 1985 and originally sold for $199.99.
If only I could find my old one!!!
