A Gamer's Gold Mine
« on: February 19, 2022, 09:38:29 am »
I'm sure everyone here is interested in retro gaming. Finding a rare item at the back of a store that still has video games for sale would be a great feeling that I have not personally experienced.

This group in Nebraska didn't just find a rare game. They found an entire storage unit filled with sealed Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo games. They got lucky because this must be worth a fortune:

Wow... Someone's suddenly becoming rich...

Worst case, may be 99% of the storage just sport games and common games that aren't worth much, but the 1% could make them rich.

It's not even that important what kind of games are there. They are brand new, sealed and old. They're certainly a few that are pretty common, but in this case it's not that important. It's already a collector's dream item collection!

Even if the old games are common, the fact they're NRFB would keep them highly valued.
