A selection of sealed NES games has just sold in exchange for incredible prices on eBay, together one example – Castlevania – fetching more than $90,000.
The auctions were spotted by Digital Eclipse staffer Chris Kohler, who noted that the origin of the games appeared to be an estate sale in Dallas, Texas.
“So there was a minor happening in the collecting world over the last couple of weeks,” Kohler says. “Seems like a couple people hit the jackpot at an estate sale in the Dallas area and came away together some unbelievable sealed games that sold for large prices.”
Castlevania sold in favor of a staggering $90,100 – “literally the highest-priced game ever sold on eBay,” says Kohler – while Kid Icarus went in favor of an almost-as-high total of $81,988.36.
BurgerTime – which, according to Kohler, “is one of the hardest NES games to find sealed in its original hangtab printing” – sold in favor of $11,377.
