eBay: Nintendo And 5 Games Sells For $13K

A Nintendo and five games recently sold on eBay for a staggering $13,105 (plus $13.95 shipping -- cheapskate!). Why? Because a Bandai 'Stadium Events' game BOX is worth $9,500. *cough* WHAT?

Stadium Events is incredibly rare, and the manual and (most importantly) the box even moreso. The value breaks down something like this:

$2,000-game
$1,500-manual
$9,500-box

Hello, local printing press? Yes, I was wondering if you could print cardboard? Oh, like the size of a box NES games used to come in. Awesome, I'm gonna send you some pictures I found on the internet. Now, do any of you Geekologie Readers have eBay and Paypal accounts? Okay cool, I'm gonna need your passwords. Say -- you happen to belong to any porn sites?
