Impressed by the story of the North Carolina eBay seller who stumbled upon an ultra-rare, $13,000 Nintendo game? So were we — and so was Kansas reader Dave, who headed for his basement to see if there was video game gold lurking down there.

“We had quite a collection 185+ games that has sat in our basement for over 20 years,” Dave told Y! Games. “The games were on a list to be brought to Goodwill – in fact, within a month, Goodwill was going to have them.”To his astonishment, not only did he find a copy of the same game that just fetched over $13,000 on eBay — highly sought-after collector’s item Stadium Events — it was in perfect condition, right down to the original shrink wrapping and Richard Gordman pricetag. A mere $29.99, if you’re wondering.”Now I’m not much of a collector, but I know that having a factory seal is good,” he said.But he’s only just now finding out quite how good.As it turns out, the game’s unopened condition makes Dave’s copy of Stadium Events three times more valuable: he sold it on auction site eBay for a breathtaking $41,300. It’s thought to be one of only two shrinkwrapped copies of the game still in existence.

En attendant que je poste mes images dans la galerie du site, voici un lien vers quelques photos… et un autre lien vers de superbes photos du pont la nuit.

While waiting for that I post my images in the gallery of the site, here a bond towards some photographs… and another bond towards superb photographs of the bridge the night.

It seems like this is what was written regarding my Brooklyn Bridge photos:  “superb photographs of the bridge the night.”

Superb is a nice adjective. Merci
