An unopened replica of flour that cost $25 and was later forgotten by its buyer in a desk drawer found a buyer for $660,000. At the auction, which was also held in Dallas, we were told that the video game was sold on Friday.
Heritage Auctions reported that 100,000 people have been killed in the attack. Super Mario Bros., which cost $25 to make for the NES, found a buyer for $660,000 and became the most expensive game in the world. The biggest reason it’s so expensive is because it was built in 1986; The box, which is 35 years old, is sealed, that is, it has never been opened and is very cleanly protected. These factors caused the price to be quite high.
Valarie McLeckie, Heritage’s Video Game expert, said: “Finding another copy in a similar situation to the same production work is like looking for a single drop of water in an ocean, as this copy and the like take very short to produce.”
