Does make me wonder how many sealed copies of the game are in collectors hands and they wouldn't work if they were opened.

Post by: amauriel on April 17, 2012, 06:22:54 am: @killerchameleon: I hadn't thought about it in a long time...but I had a friend in college that would buy every copy of Mario Bros./Duck Hunt at every Gamestop he would go to (back when they still sold NES games) because they were only 50 cents. He had an entire wall of them (yay StickyTak) in his dorm by the end of our Junior year.

Side Story: The guy also has a King Hippo tattoo.

That's all he was asking at the time? He still has three of these lots listed for sale, but he has raised the price! He is now asking $800!
