Man Sells NES For $50,000 to Pay Bills

[Archemetis]

I really love his 'typo' of

'My NES is my Price possession'

Makes me think that this isn't just some elaborate con...

No, it's an elaborate con that's taking the piss out whoever falls for it hardest.

It's possible some rich bastard felt like he needed to do something nice as opposed to the usual greed. Assuming the guy is sincere I hope he does get the money.

Some rich bastard whom has never heard of a single registered charity and happened to be searching ebay for an outdated gaming system?

I never said it was logical.

Ermmm if he does make this sale (Which I sincerely hope not) he could just go out and buy another one for a few bucks from somewhere else. I scent a con in the air.

Pretty much this.

I hope it was because of medical problems. If he's in debt just because he's an idiot then this is an unfortunate charity.

I could get any number of these systems, two controllers and a zapper included, for $40 a package.

This is up there with the $250,000 Final Fantasy glass ball.

NEWS UPDATE

BUYER DID NOT PAY FOR ITEM, RELISTED!

Ha, everyone who guessed this was absolutely right. It was a gag. Per the relisted item, "Buyer did not pay. Relisting for reasons kept private."

Scam?
