An original owner of a Nintendo World Champ cart is accepting offers.

This dude was the winner of the 11 and under category in the Kansas City tournament. Sounds like he has received a few private offers but is not looking at anything over $6000. Pretty cool story coming from an original owner. I wonder how many more are out in the wild, unaccounted for.

Actually it seems he's looking to sell it for over 6000$. Basically, if he doesn't get a better offer, he's gonna sell it to someone who already made a 6000$ offer.

So expensive, I'd never waste so much money on anything like that. I don't think there's that many left that aren't accounted for though... Maybe we should have a US-wide grandmother-attic-raid to find the remaining copies.

While it would be pretty cool to own a copy, there is no way in hell I would spend anywhere near that much for any game.  I actually competed in this contest as a kid, so I might have a different take on this, as opposed to someone who had never played it.

Ive already talked to the guy a bit. He has a lot of offers on Nintendo Age and in his own words, some of them are "significantly higher than the $6k mark".

At least it's not that dingus that took it apart, threw it in a crappy frame and then tried to sell it for $24k because his wife said so.
