(+) Yeah! (+)

In an attic and it could fetch $10,000 at auction.

Man oh man do I ever love clickbait misinformation that attempts to drive up the price of one of my hobbies to make a profit

One quick check to nintendoage shows that yes they are rare sealed, but it's not a 10k purchase. Forum topic below for keeping tabs on opinions of people that may or may not know what they are talking about.

A sealed Kid Icarus is not worth $10k, not even close.

The current bid on the auction is $5250. That's still a solid amount of cash.

I said it could fetch $10,000 and that depends on who buys it and how bad they want it.

It makes the clickbait seem less egregious since it is a lot of cash. Certainly a hell of a lot of money to spend on something like that. All I know is that I spend $3-5 on the 3DS version and didn't feel like I got my money's worth >_>

Looks like it went for $9000 according to the updated article

I'll just play it on my mini for that amount.
