I never trust any of these. A good condition working copy can be had for like $60 all day long. The crazy priced ones are for ones never taken even out of the original store hard plastic, which admitted must be extremely rare but who has one of those? Tbh I always feel like these auctions are rinse jobs with one party selling to himself/a partner to try and pump the market.
I guess that's the point. Auction prices on the rarest items in pop culture.
N64 Goldeneye went for some crazy amount a few years ago.
There is also the story of the "Nintendo Playstation" (yes it does exist).
Let's not forget the Gold Cartridge that sold for north of 100k.
There must be a plethora of items with similar rarity. like the Walkman with 2 headphone jacks or rare records.
As a non-flipper, the chance to find such things is the best reason to go out and dig around. to find the rare and oddball items. because perhaps one day you'll find a gem.
